You dreamed BIG in Part 1. Now it's time to narrow your focus and actually make it happen. ✨

Welcome to Part 2 of my 2027 New Year Resolutions series—the implementation episode.

If you completed Part 1, you should now have a big brainstormed list of everything you could possibly want for your life in 2027. But here's the problem: you can't focus on everything at once.

In this episode, we're taking that big list and turning it into approximately 3–5 New Year's Intentions that will become your biggest priorities for 2027.

We'll revisit the 8 Dimensions of Wellness from Part 1:

✨ Physical Wellness
✨ Mental & Emotional Wellness
✨ Intellectual Wellness
✨ Social Wellness
✨ Spiritual Wellness
✨ Environmental Wellness
✨ Occupational Wellness
✨ Financial Wellness

I'll walk you through how to reflect on each category and identify the areas you're most drawn toward—whether that's because you're excited about making a change or because it's an area you've been avoiding but know you need to address.

Then we'll talk about how to prioritize your goals and turn those bigger intentions into realistic action.

The goal isn't to completely reinvent your life overnight.

It's to figure out what matters most, create a plan that supports those priorities, and give yourself an entire year to become the woman you're envisioning.

✨ Don't forget to watch Part 1!

Part 1 is all about dreaming BIG and brainstorming everything you could possibly want for your life in 2027 before we narrow it down in this episode.

Why wait until January to start planning your 2027 New Year Resolutions?

If you're someone with an elevated, growth-oriented mindset, you don't have to wait for everyone else to start making New Year's resolutions. September is the perfect time to start planning ahead. ✨

In this two-part Average Glow Podcast series, we're getting a head start on 2027 New Year Resolutions so you can enter January already knowing what you want instead of scrambling to come up with resolutions after the clock strikes midnight.

And we're doing this a little differently.

✨ PART 1: DREAM BIG

In this episode, we're brainstorming.

Before we narrow down your goals or worry about what's realistic, I want you to give yourself permission to think about anything and everything you could possibly want for your life in 2027.

We'll talk about:

✨ The difference between resolutions and intentions

✨ Why you shouldn't wait until January to start planning your year

✨ How to brainstorm goals across 8 dimensions of wellness:

Physical Wellness — your health, fitness, nutrition, sleep, and body

Mental & Emotional Wellness — your mindset, confidence, emotional health, and personal growth

Intellectual Wellness — learning, education, creativity, and expanding your knowledge

Social Wellness — friendships, family, community, and relationships

Spiritual Wellness — your beliefs, purpose, values, and connection

Environmental Wellness — your home, surroundings, organization, and environment

Occupational Wellness — your career, business, passions, and professional goals

Financial Wellness — your money, income, savings, debt, and financial security

I'll give you questions to consider within each area so you can start creating a big-picture vision for your life without immediately limiting yourself.

🌱 THEN COMES PART 2...

Once you've brainstormed everything you could possibly want, Part 2 is where we reel it in.

We'll take that giant list and narrow it down to your top 3–5 all-encompassing priorities for 2027—the goals that can create the biggest ripple effect across your life.

So don't worry about narrowing anything down yet.

This episode is about dreaming BIG.

Part 2 will be about turning those dreams into focused priorities.

💭 Your January 2027 self will thank you for starting in September.

Do you have a dream you can't stop thinking about—but somehow you still haven't gone after it?

Maybe you don't know where to start. Maybe you don't feel ready. Or maybe you've convinced yourself that it's simply too late.

In this episode of the Average Glow Podcast, we're talking about why you aren't chasing your dreams and the excuses that can keep you stuck instead of moving toward the life you actually want.

I break down 10 of the most common excuses we make when we're afraid to go after our dreams, including:

✨ "I don't know where to start."
✨ "I'm not ready yet."
✨ "What if I fail?"

And those are just a few...

We'll also talk about confidence, comparison, fear of judgment, lack of time, exhaustion, and even one excuse you may not expect: "What if I succeed?"

If you've been putting off a dream, waiting for the "right" time, or finding yourself making excuses for why you can't start yet, this episode is your reminder that you don't have to have the entire path figured out before you take the first step.

Your dream isn't going to chase itself. ✨

And if you know someone who keeps saying "I'm not ready," "I don't have time," or "I don't know where to start," send them this episode. 💛

Motherhood can be one of the most beautiful and fulfilling experiences in life—but it can also be easy to lose touch with the woman you were before becoming a mom.

So how do you start finding yourself in motherhood again?

In this episode of the Average Glow Podcast, I'm sharing my DREAM method for reconnecting with yourself, rediscovering what makes you happy, and remembering that motherhood doesn't mean you have to stop dreaming about the woman and life you want to become.

✨ D — DEFINE HER
Take some time to define the woman you want to be beyond your role as a mom. Who are you becoming? What does she value? What does she want for her life?

🧠 R — REFRAME YOUR MINDSET
Challenge the beliefs that motherhood has created around what you're "allowed" to want, do, or prioritize. You don't have to feel guilty for wanting more for yourself.

🚫 E — ELIMINATE EXCUSES
It's easy to tell yourself you don't have the time, money, energy, or freedom to pursue the things you want. This is about identifying those excuses and finding ways to start anyway.

🌸 A — ALONE TIME
Spend intentional time by yourself to rediscover what makes you happy outside of motherhood. Your interests, hobbies, friendships, passions, and personality still matter.

✨ M — MOMMY MAKEOVER
Sometimes getting your spark back starts with doing something that makes you feel like YOU again. This isn't about changing yourself because you aren't enough—it's about reconnecting with the version of yourself that may have gotten buried underneath the responsibilities of motherhood.

And most importantly, I want you to dream BIGGER than you ever imagined for your life! You don't have to choose between being a great mom and building a life that fulfills you.

💛 You can be both.

💬 What part of the DREAM method do you need most right now?

Tell me in the comments—and if you're a mom who has ever felt like you've lost touch with yourself, I would love to hear what helped you find your spark again.
