Woman embracing a transformative new year.

Kickstart your year with a transformative approach to goal-setting in this episode of the Mindful Life Changes Podcast (Formerly known as the Mindful Career Change Podcast). Host Valerie Mekki, a career change counselor, guides you through a journey of self-discovery and motivation. This isn't just another talk about New Year's resolutions; it's a deep dive into the 'why' behind your ambitions. 

Discover the power of 'intrinsic motivation' and how it can revolutionize your approach to achieving goals. Valerie introduces the '3 S’s' - key strategies for a truly transformative year. Learn how to confront fears, embrace continuous learning, and add sparks of joy into your life for a more fulfilling and successful year. Plus, reinforce your intentions with an empowering affirmation for transformation. If you're ready to turn your goals into achievements, this episode is your first step toward a year of fearlessness, knowledge, and joy!

Formerly known as the “Mindful Career Change Podcast,” I decided to broaden our conversation to cover all life transitions, not just our careers.

Follow the show @mindfullifechanges and DM a question or comment about the life transitions you’re going through too. I might answer your question in one of the episodes to help you and other midlifers navigate this everchanging and beautiful season of life.
