Most high-achieving women set goals they already know how to reach. We call it being realistic, but really, it's how we stay safe. The moment we declare something impossible, every fear, doubt, and old identity shows up - but that's also the moment transformation begins.

In this special anniversary episode celebrating one year of The Balanced Leader, I explore the concept of impossible goals through my own journey of building a globally ranked podcast now in the top 2% worldwide and preparing for my upcoming TED talk.

Through client examples and my personal experience of setting a goal to impact 1000 women annually, I share how positive pressure creates expansion rather than burnout. You'll discover why impossible goals matter not just for what you achieve, but for who you become in the process, and how to use intentional, imperfect action to build the internal safety and emotional capacity that transforms your leadership.
