  30 Day Goal October 2026 + The Courage To Want What You Want

  Oct 2, 20267 min

  What if the hardest part of creating change or living your dreams isn't making a massive life change today, but simply letting yourself know what you truly want? In Episode 177 of Create Your Future , we are dropping the quietly carried weight of settling for "fine" or "good enough." Most of us stay stuck not because we lack capability, but because wanting more requires courage—it risks judgment, failure, and stepping into the unknown. But here is the secret: You can know what you want without having to change anything in your life right now. Acknowledging your true desires through this unique lens bypasses the brain’s desire for the same and the known, creating the exact space for new or for what your heart has been waiting for. Tune in as we explore how to move from confusion to clarity, shake off self-doubt, and ask the ultimate self-inquiry question: "If anything were possible, what do I actually want next?" Plus, we are setting our 30-day goal for October —committing to one tiny, bold move in the direction of the dream you haven’t been willing to say out loud yet. Let's make this month meaningful. Press play and let's go! In the Create Your Future podcast with Mandy Mackowiak, Certified Life Coach, you will get tools and practical strategies for elevating your self-concept and mindset, achieving your goals, and creating the life and future of your dreams. Please expect to be uplifted, learn, and be inspired as she and her guests cover topics ranging from life coaching and habits to mindfulness and spirituality to goals and happiness.

  30 Day Goal September 2026 + Redefine What You Want With a Clean Slate

  Sep 4, 20268 min

  Today, we kick off our 30-day goal-setting process for September 2026 with a powerful reset. It is so easy to let past stories or expectations, old ambitions, or overthinking about the future crowd our current focus. In this episode, we practice wiping the whiteboard completely clean. By stepping into present-moment awareness, you create a blank space where entirely new possibilities, desires, and opportunities for your life can surface. Drawing on wisdom from Dan Sullivan— “The future is your property. You own it. You can do anything you want,” —we explore what happens when you grant yourself full permission to let go of worn-out stories and expired goals and redefine what you actually want right now. Key Takeaways: The Clean Slate Mindset: Wiping your mental whiteboard clean frees up space from past regrets and rigid expectations, allowing new possibilities to emerge. Reframing the Past: Recognizing that your past experiences—exactly as they happened—could have been the precise stepping stones needed to bring you to today's starting point. Ownership of the Future: Embracing your authority to direct your life, habits, and self-concept from this moment forward. Connecting with Your Future Self: Tapping into the vision of who you are becoming that brings genuine excitement and inspiration. The September 30-Day Goal Focus: Choosing the ONE outcome or experience you want to create this month that aligns with your highest self and a life you love. In the Create Your Future podcast with Mandy Mackowiak, Certified Life Coach, you will get tools and practical strategies for elevating your self-concept and mindset, achieving your goals, and creating the life and future of your dreams.

  171. Dream Excuses and Your Most Important Tool For Change

  Aug 21, 20269 min

  Are you sitting passively in "excuse mode" without even realizing it? When we step toward a bigger vision or aim to become our Future Self, our brains rarely say, "I'm scared." Instead, they give us logical-sounding emotional distractions: confusion, self-doubt, worry, overwhelm, and victimhood. In this episode, we dismantle these "Dream Excuses" and examine how unmanaged emotions hold us back from the lives we are meant for. You don't need to eliminate self-doubt or map out the entire pathway before you take action. Your mind—and your ability to deliberately choose your next thought—is your most important tool for change. Tune in to learn how to gatekeep your mind, take micro-steps with discomfort in the passenger seat, and rewire your nervous system for total self-trust. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Uncovering the 5 Big "Dream Excuses": How dwelling in "I don't know how" drains your energy and discourages progress. Your Primary Tool for Change: How purposeful thoughts move you from stagnation to operating from self-integrity. The Nervous System Rewire: Why taking micro-actions while feeling uneasy teaches your brain that you are completely safe and successful during the process of growth and change. Building Evidence for Your Future Self: How taking a simple 5-minute step reinforces your self-concept and creates real momentum. Discomfort is the currency of your dreams—and courage is the currency of your dreams. Be bold, feel good about yourself, and be in over your head doing the things you want most! In the Create Your Future podcast with Mandy Mackowiak, Certified Life Coach, you will get tools and practical strategies for elevating your self-concept and mindset, achieving your goals, and creating the life and future of your dreams.
