Ditch Goal Guilt & 4 Ways to Set Goals with Grace // with Carmelita Tiu
11/11/22 • 19 min
Do you find yourself beating yourself up when you don't reach a goal...even if you have very good reasons for not attaining it? Are you saddled with "shoulds" and little perfectionist gremlin voices that make you feel like a failure whenever a goal isn't met?
In this episode, host Carmelita Tiu talks about how to cut through the negative self-talk and guilt by asking a key question -- "Am I living in alignment with my values?"
She also covers 4 alternatives to traditional "goals" -- perfect for times in your life when you need flexibility and a SMART goal feels too rigid:
- setting intentions
- "holding space"
- anti-goals
- no goals at all

How to Interrupt: Manners, Assertiveness, and No Apologies (Encore) // by Carmelita (Cat) Tiu
(Encore of Episode 05)
“I’m Speaking.” We all remember that magical, kick-ass Kamala Harris moment, right?
We encourage our daughters to be assertive, share their stories, and speak up. But when we teach them that interrupting is impolite and rude, are we inadvertently undermining their ability to rightfully claim airtime -- even if they’re interrupted by someone else? Will they choose politeness over being heard? Will they be afraid to assert themselves in a lively discussion, afraid that they’ll offend?
Listen to hear:
- The different social norms for boys and girls
- Disparities in how much men talk versus women in executive settings
- The 10 words every girl needs to learn, according to Soraya Chemaly
- Sample phrases illustrating how to interrupt
- What to tell your daughters to make them feel more comfortable with interrupting
