In this episode, Nina and I are getting into the "Public vs. Private" debate when it comes to goal setting. We've all seen the quotes on Pinterest about "grinding in silence," but we've also seen the massive success of the "build in public" movement. So, which one is actually better for your sanity—and your success? We're talking about the "fear of being perceived," how to handle the "haters" (and the inner critic), and why you don't owe anyone a front-row seat to your journey before you're ready. If you've ever felt like your goals were too "soft" or "tender" to share with the internet, this conversation is for you. In this episode, we cover: The "Hater" Instinct: Why our first thought about sharing is often tied to judgment or jealousy. Protecting the Process: Why keeping a project to yourself for the first few months might be the best thing for your confidence. The Build-in-Public Pressure: Why "showing the messy middle" is popular right now, and why it's okay to opt out. The "Safe Outlets" Alternative: Finding the middle ground between a private diary and a public Instagram post. Discernment over "Shoulds": How to decide which goals need a community and which need a cocoon.

If you're feeling exhausted from juggling social media, this is for you. In this episode, I'm getting real about the "social media burnout" we've all felt. We're so used to Instagram and TikTok being our business lifelines, but what happens when you want to put the phone down? I'm sharing how I built a business and sold hundreds of courses without ever making Instagram my main priority. It's about moving away from being the "product" and moving toward being the "solution" people are actually searching for. If you've been looking for permission to stop scrolling and start scaling through SEO, Pinterest, and intentional email funnels, this one is for you. Let's talk about how to build a business that feels like a cozy, well-oiled machine rather than a 24/7 stage performance. In this episode, we cover: Why relying solely on free social platforms is a risky "pay to play" trap How a simple Pinterest-to-blog funnel drove course sales while I was offline The reason being "searchable" on Google is a total game-changer for your sanity How to bridge the gap between "old school" blogging and modern tools like ManyChat Creating an evergreen sales system that doesn't require you to be "on" all the time Find us: Marketing Agency: lifegoalsmarketing.com Content Hub: lifegoalsmag.com Free Training: The Cozy Girls Guide to Pinterest (Private Audio Podcast) Instagram: @itscoleylane @lifegoalsmag

Are you feeling the pressure to have a "brand new you" this year, but you're still stuck in the same old skin? In this episode, Coley and Nina peel back the layers on the stories we tell ourselves. We're moving past the "New Year, New Me" clichés and getting into the messy reality of identity shifts. From the dance between masculine and feminine energies to the exhausting weight of people-pleasing, we ask the hard questions: Why do we feel the need to be understood by everyone? Is it okay to be the "sidekick" in a world obsessed with main characters? And how do we keep "breaking through" when the world keeps trying to make us small? If you've ever felt like you're "too much" and "not enough" at the same time, this honest, unpolished check-in is for you. We're embracing the cocoons, the hibernation, and the beautiful, inevitable evolution of who we're becoming. In this episode, we cover: Why "over-explaining" is the enemy of self-trust. The difference between "settling" and finding your natural gift as a supporter. How to handle the fear of adding more "noise" to the world. The 2026 vibe: Expansive energy and owning the room.

This episode is a real-time look at how I'm currently mapping out my weeks as an agency owner. I'm sharing what I'm testing, what's helping, and what I'm still figuring out as I try to build a week that feels supportive instead of overwhelming. The focus right now is designing Monday through Thursday with intention so Fridays can stay off, without guilt or catch-up work. I walk through how I use Sundays for pre-decisions, protect my mornings for creative work, batch calls and people-facing tasks, and hold one day for deep client work. Nothing is finalized. This is simply what's working in this season. If you're also reworking your schedule and learning as you go, this episode is for you.

Im Gegensatz zu Amazon, wo Nutzer aktiv suchen, löst TikTok mit viralen Videos den Kaufimpuls beiläufig aus. Jetzt bringt TikTok ein neues Feature auf den Markt, das das Einkaufen in der App einfacher macht. Mit individuell gestaltbaren digitalen Geschenkkarten, öffnet sich TikTok für neue Shopping-Erlebnisse – weit über klassisches Influencer-Marketing hinaus. Das Potenzial liegt darin, die Generation Z langfristig an TikTok als Shopping-Plattform zu binden. Doch welche Auswirkungen hat das für Nutzer, Marken und die etablierten E-Commerce-Plattformen? Die Antworten auf diese fünf Fragen bekommt ihr in der Podcast-Folge: - Wie verändern TikTok Gift Cards den Einkauf innerhalb der App? - Auf welchem Weg gelangen die Geschenkkarten zum Beschenkten? - Inwiefern können Gift Cards TikTok als E-Commerce-Plattform stärken? - Welche Rolle spielen Gift Cards bei der Monetarisierung und Kundenbindung? - Wie könnte die Einführung von Gift Cards etablierte Plattformen wie Amazon herausfordern? Das sagt Katharina: „Die TikTok Gift Cards verbinden TikToks soziale Interaktion mit Shopping – und machen die App so zu mehr als nur einem Content-Hub. Die Geschenkkarten sind ein cleverer Schritt, um die Community zu monetarisieren und TikTok noch mehr als Ökosystem zu etablieren.” Mit: Katharina Knolle, strategische Leitung Paid Media Marketing bei webnetz

We are officially in New Year planning mode, and this episode is all about choosing a Word of the Year that actually means something to you. In this conversation, Nina and I walk through the real, messy process of landing on a word. We talk about refinement, self loyalty, inner peace, and release, and how those words show up in work, health, nervous system regulation, and everyday life. This is not a perfectly packaged goal-setting episode. It is honest reflection, coaching in real time, and naming patterns that a lot of us repeat without realizing it.

Objectives and Key Results have long been a staple of the working world. You set a stretch objective, define the results that will tell you if the objective has been met, and scaffold throughout the organization. Then what? Often, nothing happens. The OKRs were too vague. In extreme cases, the worst happens: people bend the rules to hit aggressive targets. For author Radhika Dutt, there is another way: Objectives, Hypotheses, and Learnings (OHLs). In this week's episode of The Mindtools L&D Podcast, Radhika joins Gemma and Ross Garner to discuss: Why OKRs so often fail How OHLs prioritize a puzzle-solving mindset How to ensure OHLs don't lead to analysis paralysis Radhika offers an OHL toolkit at: radicalproduct.com/toolkit In 'What I Learned This Week', Ross G discussed 'parasocial relationships'.

Affirmations always felt forced for me. No matter how many times I repeated them, they didn't change my thoughts in the moment. Instead, I use something I call a real-time reframe. It's a way of catching myself mid-spiral, labeling the lies my brain tells me, and choosing thoughts that feel supportive instead of fake. In this episode, I walk you through exactly how I do it and why it's been a game changer in building self-trust.

Here at Mindtools Towers, we're no strangers to benchmarking in L&D. We've regularly mentioned our Learning Performance Benchmark over the years, and we dedicated an entire episode to 'The value of benchmarking' back in 2021.  So, naturally, we were intrigued when David James released the 'L&D Maturity Model', and wanted to invite him onto the show to discuss it.

Now for something completely different! A couple of weeks ago, Carl Akintola wrote a provocative guest post for The L&D Dispatch, challenging L&D practitioners to interogate their motives for measuring learning impact. Are they in it purely for the sake of evaluation and continuous improvement? Or are they merely trying to justify their own existence? This week on The Mindtools L&D Podcast, Carl takes over hosting duties, and runs Ross G and Ross D through the scenario he outlined in the newsletter. In 'What I Learned This Week', Ross D mentioned 'The Bad-Mouthing of British Teeth', an episode of the Decoder Ring podcast. Ross G described the so-called 'Gen Z stare'. And Carl confused the Rosses with a maths problem, based on the 'Monty Hall problem'. For more from us, visit mindtools.com.

I'm usually the kind of person who moves fast once I get the green light - launching things overnight, diving in headfirst, figuring it out on the way down. But this past year has taught me the power of choosing not to act on impulse, even when I want to. In this episode, we're talking about the slow burn: not just waiting for results, but choosing intentional timing. I'll share how I've had to plan months ahead for my rebrand, sit with the decision to leave my job, and learn when to trust my gut vs when to trust the process.

It's getting harder to say "both things can be true." In this episode, Coley and Nina are unpacking why everything online feels so extreme, when it's worth embracing nuance, and when it actually gets in the way.

In this episode of Life Goals in Progress, host Coley Lane welcomes in our new recurring guest Nina Soon for a candid conversation on balance, burnout, and boundaries. Coley and Nina dive into why the traditional idea of “balance” might be setting us up for failure and how embracing flow and seasonal shifts can feel more natural. They explore the pressures younger generations face in the workplace, the role of personal values in preventing burnout, and how boundaries can sometimes backfire when they're too rigid.  This episode is an invitation to rethink how you work, connect, and build community—because navigating life and business isn't meant to be done alone.

In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the journey from Life Goals Collective — where it all began nearly a decade ago — to the evolved vision. What started as a passion project for intentional living has grown into something bigger: a space where life and business are built with strategy, creativity, and alignment. I'll share the story behind the rebrand, why I'm stepping away from the “best self” narrative, and how this new chapter is all about building a life and business I'm obsessed with. Inside this episode, you'll hear: The origins of Life Goals Mag and the shifts that led to this rebrand Why I'm leaving behind “best self” culture and embracing something more real What you can expect from Life Goals Mag and Life Goals Marketing moving forward How this evolution can inspire you to create a business on your terms Find us: Marketing Agency: lifegoalsmarketing.com Content Hub: lifegoalsmag.com Instagram: @itscoleylane @lifegoalsmag Intro and outro music by Oleksii Holubiev from Pixabay
