You know that feeling—when life looks full of achievement, but something inside still feels... off-script?

Welcome to the Plan Goal Plan Podcast, where we turn planning and goal setting into a ritual of self-revelation and intentional living.

I’m Danielle McGeough—professor, mom, recovering overachiever, and ritual nerd. After years of chasing big goals and crossing off endless to-do lists, I hit a milestone—and felt completely unmoored. That’s when I stopped planning to prove myself, and started planning to be myself.

Each episode offers tools, insights, and rituals to help you:

Set meaningful goals that reflect who you truly are

Create intentional routines that support joy and purpose

Turn everyday planning into a powerful personal growth practice

Feel focused and fulfilled—without the burnout

Whether you’re leading a team, managing a household, or navigating change, this podcast will help you reclaim your time, reimagine your goals, and build a life that feels lived-in—not just productive.

Let’s plan a life that feels like yours—on purpose, with heart, and one gentle step at a time.

    • Is Your Need for Control Actually Killing Your Goals? What Trust Has to Do With It | Ep. 281

      Is Your Need for Control Actually Killing Your Goals? What Trust Has to Do With It | Ep. 281
      Feb 17 2026
      I grew up in Iowa where Mardi Gras wasn't really a thing. Then I moved to Baton Rouge for my PhD at LSU—and everything changed. In this episode I'm connecting my love of Mardi Gras, my research on the carnival, and our February theme of TRUST in the most delightfully nerdy way possible. Here's the question: What if chaos is actually a SIGN of trust? Here's what we're covering: Why carnival only works where there is trust (structured freedom not rigid control)What masks reveal about where safety hides (and our modern version of the mask)Why humor is a trust barometer (when teams can't laugh together, fear has entered the room)How controlled chaos builds communal trust (collective ridiculousness = collective vulnerability)The dangerous side: when play turns violent and trust breaks completely The 4 Trust Lessons from Carnival: 1. Trust requires structured freedom. Medieval carnival flipped the social order—servants mocked nobles, priests were parodied. But everyone knew when it started and ended. Trust isn't built through constant control. It's built when people know there's space for expression without the system collapsing. 2. Masks reveal where safety hides. When social risk disappears, honesty increases. Think about it: a sarcastic joke hiding real resentment. "Just kidding" as cover for actual truth. If someone only feels safe telling you the truth through humor—what does that tell you about trust? 3. Humor is a trust barometer. Regimes that lose their sense of humor become fragile. Relationships that can't tease each other anymore signal something is off. Can your team challenge you without fear? Can you and your partner tease each other without defensiveness? If not, trust might be low. 4. Controlled chaos builds communal trust. Everyone looks foolish TOGETHER. This lowers status anxiety and builds connection. You cannot build trust in permanent professional mode. Trust grows when people experience small disruptions together and recover together. The dangerous side: Trust can tolerate tension, critique, and inversion. But trust CANNOT survive betrayal. Carnival works because everyone knows the rules. Trust breaks when the rules change mid-game without consent. The big takeaway: Trust is not control. It's SAFE LOOSENESS. The confidence that we can step into chaos together and return without losing ourselves. Your challenge this week: Where can you create safe looseness in your life, your goals, or your relationships?

    • Why Don't Plans Work Out? How Broken Promises Erode Self-Trust | Ep. 280

      Why Don't Plans Work Out? How Broken Promises Erode Self-Trust | Ep. 280
      Feb 10 2026

      Dr. Ryan McGeough is back! We're unpacking what happens when plans don't go as planned—and how that slowly erodes trust in ourselves, our follow-through, and even other people.

      Here's what we're covering:

      • Why broken micro-commitments chip away at self-trust
      • The difference between self-confidence (broad) and self-efficacy (skill-specific)
      • Attribution theory: Do you blame yourself or circumstances when goals fail?
      • How the US became a low-trust culture ("stranger danger" anyone?)
      • Hannah Arendt on forgiveness (breaking the past) and promises (building the future)
      • Ryan's morning hack: Headspace before scrolling
      • My Instagram/Facebook sabbatical experiment

      The trust erosion cycle: You make plans → things don't go as planned → you stop trusting that planning matters → you break commitments to yourself → self-trust crumbles.

      The key insight: Some people fail at goals and think "bad goal, bad circumstances." Others internalize it: "I'm a piece of crap." Attribution theory explains why—and how to change the pattern.

      Ryan's trust lesson: That 6am lake running goal? Bad goal. Not because he can't accomplish things—because it didn't fit his reality. Now he knows which goals are longer shots and builds more structure around those.

      The Valentine's Day truth: Annual goal-setting together builds trust beyond reliability. When your partner actively supports what matters to you, it creates space to take risks and pursue things that excite you—even if they don't match your 10-year-old plans.

      Mentioned in this episode:

      • Attribution theory
      • Hannah Arendt's Between Past and Future
      • Headspace app
      • Self-efficacy vs. self-confidence

    • Can I Really Trust Myself? Rebuilding Self-Trust for Bold Goals | Ep. 279

      Can I Really Trust Myself? Rebuilding Self-Trust for Bold Goals | Ep. 279
      Feb 3 2026

      Can I really trust myself? Am I being too much? Not enough? What if they find out I'm just figuring it out as I go?

      If you've found yourself second-guessing, over-preparing (that's me!), or holding back just to feel safe—this episode is for you. We're digging into TRUST—the theme for February—and how women in high-pressure roles can rebuild it, starting with themselves.

      Here's what we're covering:

      • Why over-preparing, over-explaining, and over-justifying reveal a lack of self-trust
      • The difference between self-trust (confidence in your ability to feel, think, act, recover) and interpersonal trust
      • How cultural patterns teach women to seek validation instead of self-reference
      • The relationship between control and trust (if you trusted yourself completely, where could you loosen your grip?)
      • Brené Brown's insight: intuition isn't magic—it's a collection of all your knowledge and experience
      • Why perfectionism actually shows you don't trust yourself

      Mentioned in this episode:

      • Atlas of the Heart by Brené Brown
      • How to Begin by Michael Bungay Stanier
      • Performance studies and embodied knowing
