• 0:00
  SPEAKER_00: Does the phrase new year, new you trigger you just a little bit?
• 0:06
  SPEAKER_00: How about the term resolution?
• 0:09
  SPEAKER_00: Are you cringing as I say that word?
• 0:12
  SPEAKER_00: Well, friend, you aren't the only one.
• 0:14
  SPEAKER_00: And this episode is perfect for you.
• 0:22
  SPEAKER_00: Hi, my name is Amy Wicks, and I love to talk about the gospel message your heart was created to hear.
• 0:29
  SPEAKER_00: I'm a Christian Enneagram coach for Mops who loves to share resources which help you be confident that you are the best mom for your kids.
• 0:38
  SPEAKER_00: I'm a mountain mama who somehow ended up on a cul-de-sac in the Midwest.
• 0:43
  SPEAKER_00: I was overwhelmed by motherhood, and I struggled to understand my true motivations.
• 0:49
  SPEAKER_00: But the Lord didn't let me stay there.
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_00: He helped me turn those challenging moments of motherhood into a wholehearted decision to get intentional with my faith, my marriage, and my kids.
• 1:01
  SPEAKER_00: I share a broken-hearted perspective with story, but with wholehearted purpose and plan so you can live a life full of courage and abundance.
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_00: Think of this podcast as your om-the-go mom pal and friend who can't help but talk about Jesus and the Enneagram.
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_00: So get to that pile of laundry, or hit the treadmill, or load up the kids in the car for that grocery run.
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_00: Get ready to be encouraged and challenged while you listen.
• 1:27
  SPEAKER_00: This is the Simply Wholehearted Podcast.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_00: But here's the deal: there's only so much you can control.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_00: You can have fear, anxiety, or frustration over the unknown, or do something about it alongside a like-minded community.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_00: So because there is nothing magic about the turn of the calendar, I am recording this episode just for you.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_00: Not only does today's episode have some insight that will help you immediately, but this week I'm offering a live event where I'll be sharing my successful, wholehearted goal-setting process.
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_00: I know what it's like to let another year slip by and to realize that you're not still where you want to be in your life.
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe you didn't reach your weight loss or financial goals, or you just couldn't dig yourself out from the avalanche of laundry long enough to start that book or begin the business you were so excited about.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_00: I get it.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_00: I have been there too.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_00: I'm sending you a big hug over your earbuds here, and a reminder to give yourself a little grace because 2020 was tough and you have done an awesome job.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_00: But I know that if you let another year fly by, it might make you wonder if you are cut out for this wholehearted life thing.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_00: You might think you should just give in and stay the same old way forever, stuck in the I'm just surviving hamster wheel.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_00: Here's the good news.
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_00: At this very moment, you have the power to break the cycle and start your wholehearted rhythms here in 2021.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_00: And all it takes is a little strategic planning.
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_00: So, yes, even if you don't know what your goals are yet, or if you feel like 2020 was a total wash, even though it wasn't, or that there is too much to do, why even begin?
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_00: And even if dreaming for yourself feels totally overwhelming, or maybe that none of your goals have been reached so far, it is for you.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_00: Because let's get one thing straight.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_00: If you are ready to make 2021 the year you actually create your wholehearted rhythms, I have got your back.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_00: I am ready for you.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_00: So this week, January 6th at 1 p.m.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_00: Central Standard Time, I am offering a live workshop where I'm going to pull back the curtain on how I plan out every single year and even week to help me reach my goals without hustling my life away.
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_00: Inside this live workshop, it will be complete with Q ⁇ A at the end.
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_00: I'll walk you through the top takeaways of 2020.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_00: I will also share my learn process, which helps you prioritize your best rhythms in this new year.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_00: And it will have a small group coaching setting to help you process your dreams.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_00: Now, isn't it time you take deliberate action to live the life that you desire?
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_00: Once I started getting intentional with my goals, which was focusing on what really mattered and getting help when I couldn't achieve it on my own, I witnessed exceptional growth and change.
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_00: I really hope that you could join me for this live event and listen to the entirety of this episode in which I'm going to spell out the key Enneagram insights to understand and overcome your personality goal-setting challenges.
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_00: Because here's the deal.
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_00: Each year I would be more frustrated, disappointed, and ashamed of where I was with my spiritual life, my health, finances, and relationships.
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_00: I remember way too many tearful New Year's Eves where I begin and end the day with tears because I felt stuck.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_00: I had so many ideas and things that I wanted to accomplish or do.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_00: But along the way, I would get distracted or disenchanted even, and then I wouldn't want to try anymore.
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_00: But when I began to see the turning of the calendar and invitation to dream the Lord's dreams and plan with him, things truly began to shift.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_00: I learned to look at the year before through the lens of a kind father, not a demanding taskmaster who was declaring me a failure.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_00: And when I learned to be kinder to myself and my hopes for the year before and the year ahead, I started writing down all the things on my mind and in my heart, and then broke them up into smaller, more manageable tests to focus on for 90 days at a time.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_00: And here's the best deal of all.
• 7:53
  SPEAKER_00: Give that inner committee the boot.
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_00: So, what voices were too overwhelming for you in 2020 that you might need to mute in 2021?
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_00: And which mentors do you want to engage with in the new year?
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_00: Key number four, you have many dreams.
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_00: And that's what's so great about being you.
• 8:19
  SPEAKER_00: But not all of them are the right ones to carry into the next year.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_00: Take time to reflect on your obstacles and challenges that you overcame last year.
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_00: Pause and celebrate what you learned.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_00: And what do you need to double down and focus on in 2021?
• 8:39
  SPEAKER_00: Key five.
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_00: You take on a lot of responsibilities and challenges, and which ones were worth the effort?
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_00: Make sure you focus on giving your energy to fight the right battles for you.

• 9:24
  SPEAKER_00: Key number seven.
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_00: Your new habit doesn't have to be perfect, and it's not going to look the same every single day.
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_00: So ask yourself, what imperfections from 2020 are preventing you from dreaming for 2021?
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_00: And what imperfections can you let go of as you begin this new year?
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_00: Not a new year, new year, but new year, fresh start.
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_00: Key number eight, give yourself permission to figure out what rhythm works best for you.
• 10:00
  SPEAKER_00: Say no to all those shoulds.
• 10:05
  SPEAKER_00: Take time to consider the obligations from last year that are limiting you from dreaming in this year ahead.
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_00: Which obligations can you let go of as you begin 2021?
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_00: And key number nine, are you comfortable with your pace of life?
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_00: Make room to pause and rest from the hustle of achievement in the next year.
• 10:28
  SPEAKER_00: What did you spend time on in 2020 that you want to do less of this year?
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_00: And what will your soul care routine look like in the year ahead?
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_00: Now, which one of these key insights resonates with you most?
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_00: Will you take a minute and give some thought to the better questions to ask yourself in the new year?
• 10:52
  SPEAKER_00: And then I'd love to have you join me this week for the live event and a replay option, which will give you the time to dream so you can make a plan you love.
