Too many business leaders rush into goal setting fueled by excitement, comparison, or urgency, only to find themselves overwhelmed, misaligned, or burned out by February.

In this first episode of Monday Morning Mojo for 2026, I am challenging the idea that more planning is the answer and introducing something more important you need to do: pause.

Listen Now to Learn:

• How “the power of the pause” can increase clarity, focus, and sustainable momentum
• A simple internal inventory exercise to identify what you’re still carrying from last year
• The key questions to ask yourself before setting new goals so unfinished business doesn’t sabotage your progress
• How to close emotional, mental, and energetic loops that drain your productivity

Whether you’re deep in business planning season or simply feeling the weight of a fresh start, this conversation will help you begin the year grounded, aligned, and ready to lead at a higher level.

Resources Mentioned in the Show:

• DISC Assessment (pdf)

Quotes to Remember:

• There is power in the pause.
• Nothing changes unless we get into action.
• The universe is here to support you.

Journal Prompts:

1. What am I carrying over from last year?
2. What do I need to do with it?
3. Who do I want to become in the process of achieving my goals?
4. What’s my next level?
