Let us know what you think about this episode or send us an idea!

Most of us are taught to chase things—roles, milestones, achievements—without ever naming the experience we’re actually trying to have.

An emotional goal flips that script.

When you know how you want to feel, it becomes easier to:

  • make decisions
  • adapt when things change
  • release outcomes that don’t fully materialize
  • and still feel fulfilled

Because the feeling—not the thing—is what you were after all along.

Join Vic and Ryan as they talk about how to find and lock in an emotional goal. they share personal stories, a framework to get you started and practical tips to bring it to life.
