What Do You ACTUALLY Want, or the Case for Goal Distillation and Diversification (…Alchemy?)

Hey there, and welcome to The Twelfth House!

In today’s episode, we’re thrilled to have our host, Michelle Pellizzon, talking about something we all deal with—setting goals and chasing dreams. But here’s the twist: Michelle invites us to pause for a second and ask ourselves, why are we really pursuing these goals? In this laid-back chat, she shares how understanding the deeper meaning behind what we want can help us feel more fulfilled and avoid burnout.

Whether you’re aiming for a promotion, more financial freedom, or just a sense of accomplishment, this episode is all about digging deep and discovering what truly makes you feel successful.

Episode Highlights:

  • Redefining Success: Michelle helps us see why sometimes, even after achieving a big goal, we still feel empty—and how to prevent that.

  • The 80/20 Motivation Rule: Find out how to balance what you want with the outside pressures that tend to sneak in.

  • Different Routes to Fulfillment: Michelle shows us how the core desires behind common goals, like making more money or climbing the career ladder, can be met in surprising ways.

  • Breaking Free from External Validation: We chat about how to stop worrying so much about impressing others and focus on what truly makes us happy.

  • Real-Life Examples: Michelle shares down-to-earth examples of how to pursue your true desires for freedom, safety, and recognition, without the typical hustle and burnout.
