    387. Revising Goals

    24/02/2026 | 16 mins.
    This week, Jen and Pete noodle on a mental framework in which they revisit and recommit, or revise, or replace, or remove the goals they've set for themselves this year (which leaves them feeling re-invigorated, re-energized, and re-inspired). 

    Specifically, in this episode Jen and Pete talk about:

    How might we add and consider the context surrounding our goals?

    How might we reframe a pivot away from a certain goal as not a failure but a learning?

    What are some tactics to give ourselves more grace in the journey towards our goals?
