This week, I am sitting down with a very special guest named Zoe Pink, who is a Happiness Coach.For as long as Zoe could remember she wished for happiness whenever she found a penny, saw the first star of the evening, or had a birthday candle to wish upon.It was the simple dream of a little girl whose childhood was profoundly bleak. Zoe suffered through poverty; physical, emotional and sexual abuse; bullying and depression.But even in that darkness there were moments when her heart would tell her that happiness WAS possible.Her journey has been anything BUT linear and she’s a true example of how strength and purpose can come from our biggest challenges and struggles.I admire Zoe for so many reasons, but one that I’d like to call out is her willingness to be vulnerable, open and honest. One of her goals is to become more visible which is certainly not easy, but she rose to the task of this podcast with confidence and calmness.In this episode, we’re pulling the curtains back on…What her childhood was like and h

I was never someone who really resonated with the traditional “New Year, New Goals” tradition because I like to set goals throughout the year and on an ongoing basis, as opposed to making it a one time annual event.I don’t necessarily set goals in the traditional way either, in that I will often find quirky ways to solidify the goal in my head.If you’re a non-traditional goal setter like me (perhaps, a goal-setting rebel) then I want to share some of my tips with you for setting meaningful, reachable goals on an ongoing basis.This method takes the pressure off of knowing exactly what you want out of your life and business in a 1 hour goal planning session, and instead honours the fact that you are a constantly evolving human being with changing needs and new perspectives.Here are 5 ways that I set goals, in a non-traditional (but still super-successful) manner. Whether you’re an aspiring online entrepreneur (pssssssst, have you heard of The Visionary Method™) or just want to set some simple health goals, I am
