Herbal Medicine Making - Beginner

Set and Keep Goals - Realistically

Positive - Insightful - Sustainable

Turn struggles and dead ends into inspirational conversations and achievements.

Goal setting is a behavior change skill, not simply a matter of willpower.

When you or your clients struggle with setting and keeping goals, it's not a lack of discipline or motivation; you just need to learn how behavior change actually works.
With Lori Rose, PhD, you'll learn a coaching-based framework grounded in behavior change science that she has taught and applied with hundreds of students and clients.

This course includes practical tools designed to support goals that fit your current life and adjust when life changes: in your day-to-day, as a parent, in a relationship, or as a practitioner.

Whether you’re working on personal goals, supporting clients, or adding value to your herbal practice, this course helps you create change that feels sustainable, supportive, and workable over time.



Most people don’t fail at goals...

They get stuck in one of these stages:

  • Hesitation / Resistance: You know something needs to change… but you can’t make yourself move. You stall. You overthink. You negotiate with yourself like a stubborn mule.
    - What we teach: How to work with resistance instead of fighting it—so starting no longer feels like self-betrayal or force


  • Stuck at the Starting Line: You want to begin, but everything feels vague, overwhelming, or poorly defined. So you wait for clarity...and nothing happens.
    - What we teach: How to turn big, fuzzy goals into realistic, workable next steps you can actually take.


  • Struggling to Follow Through: You set the goal. You even start strong. Then consistency slips, life intervenes, and momentum quietly dies.
    - What we teach: Why you (or your clients) do some of the actions—but not all of them. How to reset goals when they stall, adapt when life throws curveballs, and keep moving without shame or burnout.


  • Bored or Burned Out: You start like a rockstar...and then lose interest, energy, or heart. Motivation fades. Willpower taps out.
    - What we teach: How to work with resistance, renew motivation, and rebuild sustainable willpower—without relying on hype or pressure.


  • Too Much, Too Fast: You take on more goals than your life can actually support. Everything becomes heavy. Nothing gets finished.
    - What we teach: How to decide how many goals to set—and which ones actually deserve your energy right now.

    Why this course works
    This course doesn’t teach “discipline harder.” It teaches a science-based path, a realistic and practical structure, based on human psychology—so goals become inspirational and doable.

  • The role your values play in accomplishing goals
  • The difference between coaching and consulting
  • To identify and respond to the stages of change
