  • Goal Setting & Vision Boards
    Jan 9 2026
    Vision Boarding & Goal Setting for 2026

    The start of a new year is full of possibility — but it can also feel overwhelming. In this episode of the Luxe & Legacy Podcast, we’re talking about how to approach goal setting and vision boarding for 2026 with clarity, focus, and intention.

    Marie shares why narrowing your focus to one or two meaningful goals can create more momentum than chasing every trend in the industry. We talk about distraction, doing less on purpose, and building on what’s already working in your business.

    Amber then breaks down vision boarding in a way that goes far beyond a wishlist. We explore how to create vision boards based on how you want to feel, why your subconscious and nervous system play a role in what you allow yourself to receive, and how imagery can support aligned action and growth.

    This episode blends practical strategy with mindset work to help you create real progress this year — without burnout.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • How to simplify your goals without losing momentum
    • Why focus is essential for sustainable growth
    • The difference between a wishlist and an aligned vision board
    • Using emotion and imagery to support your subconscious
    • How to pair vision with action so goals actually happen

    If you’re craving a more grounded, intentional way to grow in 2026, this episode will help you reset and refocus.
