Summary
Before you set another goal or write another resolution, pause.This surprise end-of-year episode walks you through a radically different approach — one that makes your intentions for 2026 not just possible, but inevitable. This isn’t another “new year, new you” pep talk.It’s a method that takes everything you’ve learned this year — identity work, nervous system regulation, habit design, scripting, and future-self visualization — and elevates it into a strategy that actually sticks. You’ll learn: * Why most goals fail long before February * How your current identity quietly sabotages your biggest intentions * The 3 steps to building your year backwards from the version of you who’s already successful * How to end procrastination by aligning your identity, standards, and systems * The simple mental shift that turns desire into destiny If you want 2026 to be the year things finally click — the year your goals stop being hopes and start becoming non-negotiable — this episode is your blueprint. Tap in. Your future self is waiting. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit mariadelgaiso.substack.com
