In this engaging episode of their podcast, Dr. Betsy Dovec and registered dietitian Hannah Schuyler dive into the intriguing concept of setting "impossible goals" by reframing one's past, present, and future. Drawing inspiration from Dr. Benjamin Hardy's book, 10X is Easier Than 2X, they explore how these principles can be applied not just in business but also in personal development, weight loss journeys, and overall wellness.

The episode kicks off with a light-hearted banter about Dr. Dovec's love for audiobooks and her penchant for bringing back new reads from her travels. This sets the stage for a discussion on the importance of continuous learning and personal growth. They highlight the significance of having a solid foundation in both business and personal life, emphasizing that "you can't scale broken." This mantra resonates throughout the episode as they encourage listeners to assess their current situations before embarking on ambitious goals.

As the holiday season approaches, Dr. Dovec and Hannah remind listeners that now is the perfect time to reflect on their aspirations. They define "impossible goals" as those daunting objectives that may feel just out of reach, like losing a significant amount of weight or achieving a personal milestone. The duo emphasizes the power of visualization and manifesting these goals, encouraging listeners to picture themselves in their desired future—whether that’s fitting into a dream outfit or living a healthier lifestyle.

The conversation takes a deeper turn as they discuss the importance of reframing past experiences. Dr. Dovec shares her perspective on how past struggles can be transformed into valuable lessons, fostering resilience and strength. Hannah chimes in with her own experiences, illustrating how seemingly negative events can lead to positive outcomes and personal growth.

Throughout the episode, the hosts stress the importance of being intentional in the present. They discuss how daily choices impact future goals and the necessity of eliminating distractions that don’t serve one’s purpose. With a sprinkle of humor, they tackle the challenges of navigating social situations, especially during the holidays, and the importance of saying no to things that don’t align with one’s goals.

As they wrap up, Dr. Dovec and Hannah encourage listeners to embrace their journeys, celebrate small victories, and stay focused on their impossible goals. They invite audience interaction, urging listeners to share their aspirations and experiences, creating a sense of community and support.

With a perfect blend of insightful advice and relatable anecdotes, this episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to redefine their goals and approach the new year with renewed vigor and optimism.
