71. How to Build a Vision Board That Actually Works

If vision boards have ever made you roll your eyes or feel like a cheesy Pinterest project, this episode will completely reframe how you see them. I break down why vision boards actually work when they are done with intention, and why they are one of the most powerful tools for training your focus, shaping your identity, and staying consistent when motivation fades.

We talk about the real science behind visualization, how your brain responds to what you repeatedly see, and why clarity creates action. I also walk you through exactly how to build a vision board that works for you, not anyone else. From choosing images that evoke real emotion to pairing every visual with an action step, this episode shows you how to turn a vision board into a daily training tool instead of wall decor.

If you want more direction, focus, and momentum heading into the new year, this episode gives you a simple framework to design your life with intention and follow through on what actually matters to you.
