Show notes

Welcome to today’s ICYMI, where we kick off the week with a quick game-changing tip from one of our guests that you might have missed.

Is fear of judgment, failure, change, or even fear of fear itself holding you back from reaching your full potential? We're throwing it back to a must-hear pep-talk from Judi for reframing our relationship with fear, caring less what other people think, and building confidence so we can show up as our fullest selves.

Because our goal shouldn’t be to be fearless. The goal is to be courageous. To be scared, and do it anyway.

She’s built a hugely successful keynote speaking business and a top 13% podcast on iTunes, sharing the power of the CEO mindset and her powerful talks for living a courageous life without regret.

Show notes

Happy New Year and WELCOME TO SEASON 4 of Teach Me How To Adult! We’re kicking off 2025 with the manifesting and goal setting guide that will actually help you achieve your dreams this year. But we’re about working smarter, not harder, so this year I used AI to help shape my goals, habits, and map out my big picture dream life.

It all started with the viral ChatGPT trend of writing the story of a day in your future dream life. And it was a game-changer, because by letting AI handle the planning logistics, you get to dream and ideate about your future goals without limitations and mental blocks — it’s like your own virtual assistant that’s here to help you plan your best year yet in ways you might not have even thought about.

These goal-setting exercises have been a powerful tool for building a roadmap towards my goals, breaking them down into actions I can take now, finding the gaps I currently have for getting there, and manifesting a future that now feels possible.

Tune in to learn how to do it:

The AI prompt to envision your dream future life - and how to iterate to get your ideal version
My unexpected reaction to my future life story
Journal prompts to reflect on your future manifestation
Bridging the gap between who you are now and who you want to be
Using AI to create the 2025 goals and habits that ladder up to your future dream life
The power of an AI-generated daily schedule
The keys to setting and implementing SMART, sustainable goals
Creating a powerful visualization from your AI prompt

I hope this helps you plan an incredible year — let me know if you try this! I’m so excited for us to thrive in 2025… I love you, and you’ve got this.
