Welcome to Startup Grounds—your cozy coffee chat + monthly goal-setting workshop + check-in call… all rolled into one. In this first episode, I’m sharing the real reason I started this show (because I hate the idea of setting goals once and forgetting them 🙃), plus how we’re testing this format for Q1: one workshop at the beginning of the month, then a couple check-ins to help you actually follow through.

We’re talking:

• Why capacity matters more than “staying committed to the fantasy version” of your goals
• The accountability effect (and why check-ins change everything)
• My ADHD-friendly struggle: transitions—and the tiny environment shift that’s helping a LOT
• A simple Atomic Habits-style reset: make it obvious, attractive, easy, and satisfying
• The mindset shift that prevents burnout: choose work or choose rest—don’t live in guilt in-between

Also: I’m introducing the virtual coffee punch card + this month’s prize you can unlock, sharing the secret word (“intention”), and giving you the details for Plan Like a Boss (Saturday, January 10).

Want a question or pep talk on the next show? Drop it in the Ask Faith box on the Startup Grounds site and I might cover it on the next check-in. ☕️
