How to Set Goals You Actually Want

Are you setting goals because you truly want them or because social media, other people’s expectations, or old ideas of success have convinced you that you should? Welcome to the coaching portion of the Bad B podcast so you can get straight into it... You can watch the full episode here:    • Wuthering 'Hype' & Setting Goals You Actua...   In this episode, Julia and I are talking about how to set authentic goals that actually mean something to you, align with your values, and help you build a life and career that feels fulfilling rather than impressive on paper. I’m Emilie West, a career coach helping professionals build confidence, navigate career change, get promoted and create more authentic, sustainable success at work and in life. In this video, you’ll learn: ✅ How to tell whether a goal is truly yours or based on external validation ✅ Why achieving the “wrong” goal can still leave you feeling empty ✅ How to check whether your goals align with your values ✅ Why looking back at your younger self can help you reconnect with what matters ✅ How to use a 5-year vision without putting too much pressure on yourself ✅ Why “dream days” can help you experience the life you are trying to build ✅ How to stop being hijacked by other people’s plans and priorities ✅ Why small steps are better than trying to change everything overnight ✅ How your brain reacts to big goals, comfort zones and change ✅ Why safe and happy are not always the same thing ✅ How to use the OPM method: organisation, productivity and motivation ✅ How to make your goals real by asking: what is the next right thing? Authentic goal setting is not about copying someone else’s version of success. It is about asking what will genuinely bring you meaning, confidence, freedom, connection, purpose or fulfilment.
