Write down your goals

Every girl should write down her goals. Business goals, personal goals, income goals, and what ever else you want to achieve in your life. If you want to achieve something in your life, don’t just think about it. Get your favourite journal or even just a piece of paper and write down the goals.

Having a goal sitting in your head may not help that much. Most books and successful people say that you need to write down your goals. First thinking and getting clarity about the goal is a great way to start but the next step is for you to write it down as soon as you think about it.

What is it that you want to accomplish?

Think about your passions, the things that light you up or practical needs you have. Use that to help you come up with the exact goal that you want to get. For example, let’s look at a person who wants to improve their health.

First step is to write down the goal of improving your health.

Next what you will want to do is to write how you are going to achieve this goal. It can be a huge help to find someone who has already done this before in person or online and see what helped them. Take their experiences on board as you plan out your course of action.

Write down why you want to achieve this goal. For some, it could be wanting to be able to run after your kids. For others, it may be to lose weight to get pregnant. Whatever your goals are, write down why you want to achieve them.

Another point that is important to consider is to have complete faith in yourself and your desired goals. You need to have faith and a growth mindset because if you don’t you could self sabotage yourself. You may have written them down, but it means nothing if you don’t kick out your disbelief of achieving this goal from your “belief” system. You need to have faith that you can reach any goal that you set.

After you achieve a particular goal, don’t forget to celebrate! Give yourself some sort of a reward and take time to enjoy it. Once you achieve your first goal, that gives you confidence that you can accomplish any of your future life goals. Celebrating your small and big wins It should give you some sort of motivation to write more and more goals down.

Now, what happens if you don’t reach your goal? This can happen to anyone. The best thing that you will need to do is to learn from this situation and think what you can do differently next time to achieve that goal. Look at what worked and what didn’t. Do you need to set some habits that will help you take consistent action or relook at your reasons why? Take some time to reflect then carry on, don’t let it stop you losing momentum!

Do you want to get clarity and figure out what you want and action steps to help you achieve it? Check out the Goal & Dream Life Planner

2 big things right now...

I'm closing down part of my offers to make space for the new. It's been hard to do so, because I'm so proud of what I'd created and how they've helped people. But I've not been feeling passionate about them and not looking to update them at present because I'm really been focused on designing my life and inner healing.

So I want to make space for what comes out of that. For the rest of the month you can get these amazing offers.

1. I'm running a 70% off sale on Etsy until the end of the month then the shop will go into holiday mode and possibly deleted.
https://www.etsy.com/shop/itstartswiththedream

2. I'm retiring my original course Planners on demand (create planners with print on demand) and it is available to buy at 65% off iitstartswiththedream.com/plannersondemand OR type *demand* to get the link to your DMs

You'll be getting amazing value and all the other bonuses like planner canva templates, sales page templates and more!

The part of your story you keep editing out?

That’s probably the exact part someone else needs to hear.

Not the polished version.

The burnout.
The cancelled launch.
The year you lost yourself a little.
The rebuilding.

We try so hard to skip to the redeemed ending that we forget people connect through the messy middle.
Your reader doesn’t need another perfect woman online. She needs proof that someone survived the chapter she’s currently living.

Polished people are easy to admire.

Authentic people are the ones who make people stay.

Maybe the part you’re trying to hide is actually the very thing God wants to use. 🌿

I wrote a blog/Substack post about sharing the scar, not the wound, and why your story matters more than you think.

As I started to experience more anxiety last year I had to come back to the basics I'd learnt and practiced over a decade from when I had PND.

Not everything is in my control. 

I started to be more intentional in handing over in prayer to God what I couldn't change.

I focused back on what was in my control. 

I'm not fully out of it but I'm in a much better place. Some lessons are made to be practiced, day in and day out. 

Prayer: God today I have over to you everything, but especially what I can't control. Let my peace be in you always not the outcome. Amen

Happy New Year! Found this audio and it really fit for 2025. This snapshot is me just now writing my goals for 2026 and my 10 year vision.

2025 was nothing like I expected. 

I chose the word "Expansion" as my word for the year and what came really had me expand as well as my capacity and what I experienced.

I went back to work after 5 years at home. That helped me heal work place trauma.

I did 2 big programs that helped me work on nervous system healing and pivoting to being faith based in my business.

I experienced ongoing health issues that wore on me and experienced anxiety and depression in a way I hadn't for a decade.

I experienced new levels of healing and self awareness.

I stepped into new positions in my life, business and faith that felt beyond me.

God showed me there's more work to do in the secret place. 

I lost hope and gained hope.

I saw what I didn't want and gained renewed energy for what I do want.

2026 will not be a repeat of 2025. 

2026 will be the foundation of my Brand New Era. Here's to the next 10 years!

Why people don't want coaching 🤔 can you relate?

I've definitely been there. I have been worried a coach will push me harder than feels comfortable or they'd think my worries were silly or belittle me.

My coaching is client led, safe and confidential. 

I don't judge your goals or desires. I will hold up a mirror to your life but in a gentle and kind way. 

If you want monthly low cost and low commitment support to test the waters head to the link in my bio "DYD Monthly Coaching

You don’t need a crisis to want more.

Sometimes it’s just a quiet knowing:
“I’m meant to express something.”
“I’m meant to build something.”
“I’m meant to live with more intention.”

If you’ve been feeling that nudge, you’re not imagining it.
You might just need space and support to listen.

I’ve opened a gentle, month-to-month 1:1 support space for exactly this season 🤍

Ever felt like you can’t show up because you haven’t fully arrived in the very thing you teach or coach on?

That whisper of “Who am I to help anyone when I’m still figuring this out?” can feel loud.

I’ve walked through that this year. Anxiety rose up in a way I didn’t expect, and it had me feeling like a fraud.  You may also be having some wobbles around the things you teach or share on it. It's normal. 

The journey of growth and healing isn't linear.

But these moments don’t disqualify you. They deepen you. They rebuild character, sharpen compassion and reconnect you to what really matters.

If you’re feeling wobbly, overwhelmed or unsure of your next step, I made something to get you from crisis to clarity.

My free masterclass, Crisis to Clarity, is available to watch until the end of the year.
Grab a warm drink, a notebook,  let’s get you feeling clear and expectant for the year ahead ✨
