#103 Goal Setting With A Twist
LEVEL UP – Episode #103 | Goal Setting with a Twist
Most goal setting fails — not because you lack willpower, but because your goals were never designed to work with your brain, habits, and real life.
In this episode, Rozanne Marsh breaks down a fresh, science-backed approach to goal setting that helps you stop recycling last year’s patterns and start building the future you actually want.
You’ll learn why: • A goal is not a task — it’s a compass
• Reviewing the past is about data, not self-judgment
• Your nervous system needs clarity before it can support change
• Habits form from design, not effort
• Consistency matters more than perfection Rozanne introduces her SPARK framework — a practical system that helps goals stick:
S — Set the Stage
P — Place What You Need
A — Align With Your WHY
R — Ready Your Time (including floors & ceilings)
K — Kindle the Reward She also explains why the 90-Day Year works better than annual goal setting and how shorter focus cycles keep momentum, motivation, and follow-through high.

🌱 For Teens LEVEL UP helps teens learn what most people don’t discover until adulthood:
How emotions work.
How to manage stress instead of being run by it.
How to build confidence from the inside out.
How to work with fear, setbacks, and triggers — not against them.
How to set goals that feel exciting and possible.
LEVEL UP gives teens language for what they feel, tools for what they face, and confidence in who they’re becoming. This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being aware, resilient, and empowered.
🌿 For Parents & Adults LEVEL UP is also for adults who know that real change starts on the inside.
You’ll learn how the brain and body shape reactions, habits, and patterns — and how to regulate your state, heal old triggers, and respond with intention instead of overwhelm.
LEVEL UP supports: Emotional regulation and resilience Clarity and self-trust Healthier habits and identity-based goals Stronger relationships and calmer parenting A deeper sense of purpose and direction
This isn’t about doing more. It’s about becoming more aligned.
LEVEL UP is fully online. It’s engaging, science-backed, and deeply human.
Whether you’re a teen stepping into who you’re becoming, or an adult ready to lead your life with clarity — this experience meets you where you are.
Your next level isn’t a personality change. It’s an understanding shift.
