QUOTE OF THE EPISODE

“Goals work — but only when they become a lifestyle, a rhythm, a routine.”

ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS

1. Plan a “less is more” Christmas: prioritise time, fun & simplicity
2. Review family life quarterly: align goals, values, and expectations
3. Choose identity over outcome: e.g., “I’m a runner” instead of “I’ll run a marathon”
4. Track tiny wins: small daily progress beats big January promises
5. Build shared vitality: move, eat well, and model healthy rhythms
