66: Adopting a Puppy to "Complete" My Family: Why Goal-Setting from Lack Doesn’t Work

66: Adopting a Puppy to "Complete" My Family: Why Goal-Setting from Lack Doesn’t Work

In this episode, I’m sharing the real story behind adopting—and ultimately rehoming—a puppy I thought would "complete my family" as a single mom.

It’s a story I almost didn’t share. But what started as a deeply personal decision became a mirror for the kind of choices so many of us make in business.

Because this wasn’t just about a puppy.

It was about trying to soothe a feeling I hadn’t fully acknowledged—and how that showed up in a major life decision.

Here’s what I’m unpacking in this episode:

  • Why even the most “well-thought-out” decisions can still come from a place of lack
  • How I’ve seen brilliant women (myself included) set goals not because we want them—but because we think they’ll finally make us feel safe, successful, or enough
  • What happens when you bring your unhealed self into a milestone and still feel unsatisfied
  • The real cost of setting goals to escape how we feel about ourselves today

This episode is an invitation to get radically honest with yourself:

👉 Are you building from sufficiency—or trying to earn your way into feeling whole?
