Ever set goals in January that felt motivating—only to realize by mid-February that they just didn’t work in real life? You're not the problem. The goal-setting method is. Want your goals to actually work this year? Join Ready5: https://simplyconvivial.com/ready5

Most goal-setting doesn't consider season, vocation, family life, interruptions, or the constant adjustments real life requires. But faithful planning isn’t about building the ideal year—it’s about stewarding the actual one.

In this episode, I’ll show you how to:
✔ Set goals that flex with real mom-life (instead of cracking under pressure)
✔ Use vocation—not ambition—to shape your goals
✔ Trade unrealistic expectations for sustainable, faithful follow-through
✔ Build growth habits that work even when routines change

You don’t need bigger goals. You need truer ones—rooted in your calling, capacity, and season.

💜 Inside Convivial Circle, we build flexible, faithful goals together during Ready5, our annual planning process for Christian moms. We reflect, set direction, and create plans that grow with you—not against you.
