S6 E5: Sarah Von Bargen on setting creative goals that actually make you happy

Chasing Creative

Did you know that it actually takes between 12-265 days -- with the average being 65 days! -- to make a new habit stick? Sarah Von Bargen shared that statistic with us on the podcast, and we were blown away! Sarah is the mastermind behind yesandyes.org where she is a writer, coach, and educator who helps people spend their time, money, and energy on purpose. We had her on the podcast to discuss how to craft goals that actually matter to you, create habits that support those goals, and what the ebbs and flows of the self-employed and creative life look like for her.

Resources We Talked About

Need to figure out what makes YOU happy? Sarah’s ebook might help you do that.

Sarah also teaches courses that can help you change your habits in the New Year. You can find her raved-about Habit School, Bank Boost, and more over here.

Here’s the link to Sarah’s free private Facebook Group called “Money + Happy” where -- you guessed it! -- the community talks about how to spend their money in ways that make them actually happy.

This podcast is the one Abbie shared about self-care for the different Enneagram numbers.
