207. The Science-Backed Method for Goal Setting (No, it's not SMART goals!) with Caroline Adams Miller

Financial Feminist

Forget everything you’ve been told about reaching for your dreams, because in today’s episode, we’re busting myths and revealing the evidence-based secrets to setting and achieving big goals—without relying on the decades-old (and often ineffective) SMART framework.

As we kick off a new year (and possibly a whole new you!), I'm excited to welcome Caroline Adams Miller, a globally recognized authority on positive psychology, grit, and the true science of goal-setting. We cover everything from mastering the difference between performance and learning goals to building a supportive community that actually cheers you on. If you’re done playing small and ready to step into your power, this conversation has your name all over it.
