222. Burn Your SMART Goals: The MAGIC Goal Setting Rebellion

Kayla MacDonald

Welcome back and happy new year, my magical friends!

Our first solo episode of 2026 is coming in HOT—and we're starting things off with a good ol’ fashioned SMART goals roast. Yep. We're tossing those productivity guru-approved checklists into the compost bin and replacing them with something way more powerful.

So if you’ve ever typed out your New Year’s goals, made them SMART, and then watched yourself sabotage or burn out by February—this episode is for you.

I’m introducing you to the MAGIC Goal framework: a pleasure-based, identity-rooted, rebel-hearted approach to growth that actually honors who you’re becoming, not just what you’re achieving. We’re talking misogi goals, sacred process, growth over metrics, identity upgrades, and celebration as fuel.

Let’s burn the rulebook—and build something better.
