Setting goals shouldn’t make you feel overwhelmed, behind, or burnt out, but for a lot of people, it does.

In this episode of the Sisterhood Tea Party Podcast, we talk about how to set goals in a way that actually works for your personality, your life, and your current season, without toxic productivity or unrealistic pressure.

We cover:

• Why there is no one “right” way to set goals
• Structured goal setting vs. intention-based planning
• Popular goal-setting methods (and who they’re actually for)
• How burnout, perfectionism, and comparison sabotage progress
• Why you need quiet, uninterrupted time to plan your future

Whether you’re a planner who loves structure or someone who prefers themes, vibes, and flexibility, this conversation will help you build a goal-setting system that supports you — not stresses you out.

☕ Plus: an Overrated / Underrated segment on vision boards, habit trackers, January gym memberships, and public accountability posts.

The holidays are often painted as joyful and magical—but for many of us, they can feel heavy, complicated, or emotionally overwhelming.

In this episode of The Sisterhood Tea Party Podcast, Stephanie and Jessica unpack what it really looks like to heal through the holidays. From navigating loss, breakups, and big life transitions to managing family dynamics and emotional burnout, we talk honestly about why this season can hit harder than expected.

We dive into:

• Why the holidays amplify emotions
• How to set boundaries that actually protect your peace
• Tools to support your mental and emotional health
• Creating new traditions when old ones no longer fit
• Letting go of the pressure to “perform” joy

We also lighten things up with What’s the Ick? — Holiday Edition, reacting to some of the most relatable holiday triggers (yes, including invasive questions and guilt-tripping invites).

Whether you’re grieving, healing, or simply trying to get through this season with grace, this episode is a reminder that you’re allowed to move at your own pace.

This week, we’re giving our goals a reality check. Not the Instagram version, the real one. We’re looking back at the intentions we set, the goals we actually hit, the ones that shifted, and the ones we didn’t hit at all. No shame. No pressure. Just honesty about what the year tried to teach us.

We talk:

• Paying off debt (the painful but empowering kind)

• Reinventing career paths after a layoff

• Letting go of goals that no longer fit

• Healing, rebuilding confidence, and learning when to rest

• Why missing a goal doesn’t mean failure

If you’ve ever looked at your goal list and thought, “Wow, life definitely had other plans,” this episode will feel like a deep exhale. You’re not behind, you’re becoming.

🎧 Listen, reflect, and celebrate how far you’ve actually come.
