As we step into 2026, vision boards and goal setting are everywhere. But what if the reason your goals haven’t worked in the past has nothing to do with discipline and everything to do with alignment?In this episode, Mary Lacey Banks introduces The Alignment Map, a powerful worksheet designed to help you stop building goals based on who you should be and start creating a life rooted in who you actually are.Drawing from personal experience, therapy insights, and years of living out of alignment, Mary walks you through a simple but transformative framework to help you clarify your values, set boundaries around what you’re no longer available for, and create a vision that truly fits you.This episode is for anyone who has ever:Built a vision board that didn’t feel rightChased goals that belonged to someone elseFelt stuck, burned out, or disconnected from their own lifeWanted clarity before committing to another “big year”Before you make a vision board… listen to this.Why vision boards don’t work when they aren’t aligned with your valuesThe difference between goals and values (and why values matter more)How to define your hell yes and hell no valuesHow to create a personal mission statement that acts as your North StarHow to recognize when you’re out of alignment — and how to come back quicklyThe concept of a personal Board of Directors and how to use it for guidanceWhy committing to the journey matters more than committing to the goalIn this episode, Mary walks through each section of The Alignment Map, including:Hell Yes Values – the non-negotiables that guide your decisionsHell No Values – what you are no longer available forYour Personal Mission Statement – how you intend to operateOut-of-Alignment Signals – how you know you’ve driftedRe-Alignment Practices – how you get back on trackYour Board of Directors – who you allow to influence youYour Sentence of the Year – a guiding intention for 2026Instead of committing to a rigid goal, Mary invites you to create one sentence you’ll carry with you through 2026 — a sentence rooted in faith, alignment, and trust in the journey.Because sometimes, God has an even better outcome than the one you planned.Download The Alignment Map Worksheet:👉⁠ https://mary-lacey-banks.kit.com/23eeae6057⁠If this episode helped you slow down, reflect, or feel more aligned:Send it to a friend who’s making a vision board right nowLeave a review on Spotify and Apple PodcastsShare it on your stories and tag @marylaceybanksYour support helps Glow Up and Show Up reach more people who need this message.🧭 What You’ll Learn in This Episode📝 The Alignment Map Framework✍️ Your Sentence of the Year🔗 Resources & Links💛 If This Episode Resonated

Jennie's Freebies!https://pages.adhdjennie.com/adhdinactionhttps://pages.adhdjennie.com/jumpstartKeywordsADHD, hyperfocus, dopamine, women, productivity, mindset, manifestation, mental health, personal development, energy managementSummaryIn this conversation, Mary Banks and Jennie Anderson delve into the complexities of ADHD, particularly focusing on how it manifests in women. They discuss personal experiences with ADHD, the concept of hyperfocus, and the role of dopamine in managing symptoms. Jennie shares insights on structuring daily routines, setting achievable goals, and the importance of awareness and grace in navigating ADHD. The conversation also touches on the impact of hormonal changes on ADHD symptoms and introduces Jennie's new program designed to help individuals with ADHD create systems that work for them.Takeaways ADHD can manifest differently in women, often leading to feelings of shame and guilt. Hyperfocus can be both a strength and a challenge for ADHDers. Dopamine plays a crucial role in attention and motivation for those with ADHD. Understanding personal energy levels can help in structuring daily tasks. Setting small, achievable goals can lead to greater success for ADHDers. Awareness and grace are essential in managing ADHD symptoms. Hormonal fluctuations can significantly impact ADHD symptoms in women. Creating safeguards around spending and food can help during low-energy periods. Gamifying tasks can make them more engaging for ADHDers. Building a supportive community can enhance the ADHD management journey.
