In a world obsessed with outcomes, what if the real magic lies in the process? In this episode, Alison dives deep into why finding purpose in the journey isn’t just nice, it’s necessary.

From breaking big goals into bite-sized steps to designing personal rewards that actually motivate, this conversation unpacks the psychological backbone of goal-setting, growth, and meaningful momentum. Spoiler: it’s not about grinding harder...it’s about walking smarter.

Whether you’re chasing a career move, a personal breakthrough, or just trying to keep it together long enough to remember your passwords, this one’s for you.

🧠 Key themes: purpose, self-improvement, motivation, productivity, self-care, and creating systems that actually work.

🎯 Takeaways:

• Purpose isn’t just in the endgame—it lives in the doing.

• Big goals need small steps (and regular applause).

• Self-care without purpose is just… procrastination in yoga pants.

• Every step should have a reason—and a reward.

• Celebrate yourself like you’re the headliner (because you are).
