Why do some goals stick while others fade?

In this episode, psychologist Leila Ainge explores the psychology behind effective goal-setting — blending insights from real conversations with three guests and research on motivation, social identity, and resilience.

You’ll hear how Rebecca, Jen, and Darren each navigate creative ambition, self-belief, and belonging, and how their stories reveal the deeper psychological forces shaping success.

Expect practical reflection points on:

  • The difference between approach and avoidance motivation
  • Why flexible four-week check-ins outperform rigid plans
  • How your social identity shapes confidence and action
  • What it means to design goals that fit who you’re becoming

This is your psychology-backed guide to setting goals that work with your identity, not against it.
