In this episode, Melissa walks you through a gentle, honest approach to planning for the new year — one rooted in alignment, purpose, and the season you’re actually in. Instead of setting goals from pressure or comparison, she helps you build goals that feel grounded, doable, and deeply personal. Together you’ll explore why most goals fail, how to set “lifestyle-first” intentions, the power of choosing only three core goals, and how to break them down month by month so they actually become real.

If you’re craving a year that feels more peaceful, more intentional, and more “you,” this is your guide. Grab a notebook, your favorite drink, and let’s create a new year you’re excited to live.

Today we’re talking about walking your own trail—especially when it winds in a different direction than everyone else’s. Whether it’s your horsemanship, your motherhood, your career, or your dreams, you don’t have to follow the crowd to live a meaningful life. We explore comparison traps, confidence-building, and how to trust your own rhythm. If you’ve been feeling “behind” or “different,” this episode is your permission slip to ride your own ride.
