Today, I want to share a concept that’s been transforming the way I teach manifestation and success. It’s fun, powerful, and will help you reach your big goals in a way that feels aligned and doable.

This is the perfect time to talk about it because we’re still fresh into the new year. Whether you’re riding that wave of New Year’s momentum or still crafting your goals for 2025, I want to help you avoid the trap so many fall into: setting big, bold resolutions and then giving up by mid-January.

If you’ve never heard of Quitter’s Day, it’s that infamous day in mid-January when most people abandon their New Year’s goals and fall back into old habits. Sound familiar? There’s actually a reason this happens—and it’s not because you’re lazy or unmotivated. It’s because your brain and nervous system are wired to resist change.

Why Success Can Feel Hard

Here’s the truth: all growth happens outside your comfort zone. And while that sounds inspiring, your brain doesn’t like it. Your nervous system is wired to keep you safe, and sometimes, success can feel unsafe.

When you set a big goal—whether it’s starting a business, achieving financial freedom, or running a marathon—it stretches your belief system. Your nervous system might respond by saying, “Whoa, let’s stick to what we know. This feels risky!”

This is why self-sabotage happens. It’s not that you’re incapable—it’s that your body and mind are trying to protect you from the unknown.

But here’s the good news: we can predict this resistance. And when we know it’s coming, we can prepare for it. That’s where the Trailblazer Method comes in.

What Is the Trailblazer Method?

The Trailblazer  Method is a tool I teach to help you bridge the gap between where you are now and the version of you who has already achieved your goal. It’s about using inspiration from others and small steps to shift your mindset and nervous system into believing your goal is possible.

Let me explain how it works with a story that inspired this concept. A few years ago, I watched a documentary called Valley Uprising about rock climbers in Yosemite during the 1970s. These climbers were determined to scale massive rock faces like El Capitan and Half Dome—mountains everyone said were impossible to climb.

They spent months experimenting, mapping routes, and making tiny bits of progress. After a year of effort, one group finally became the first to summit Half Dome.

Here’s the incredible part: once they proved it could be done, everything changed. The next group climbed it in a month. Then others did it in a week. Today, climbers scale it in just hours.

The mountains didn’t change—but the beliefs about what was possible did.

We see this pattern everywhere. Think about Roger Bannister, the first man to run a 4-minute mile. Before he broke that record, people thought it was physically impossible. But after he did it, other runners started breaking it too.

Once someone proves something is possible, it creates a path for others to follow.

How to Use the Trailblazer Method

So, how can you apply this to your own life and goals?

When you’re going after something that feels impossible—or even just like a stretch—you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. You can use trailblazers—people who’ve already done what you want to do—to guide and inspire you.

But here’s where we often go wrong. Instead of using others’ success as proof that our goals are possible, we weaponize it against ourselves. We say, “Well, they had more money, more resources, or fewer responsibilities than I do.”

Friend, let me tell you this: no matter what you want to achieve, there’s someone out there who’s done it with fewer resources, more challenges, and less time. Instead of comparing yourself, use their success as confirmation that your dream is possible.

Step 1: Find Your Trailblazers

Look for people who’ve already achieved the goal you’re working toward.

For example:

• If your dream is to start a business, find someone who started from scratch and built success.
• If you want to run a marathon, look for someone who began as a complete beginner and crossed the finish line.

Here’s a personal example: A few years ago, I wanted to start roller skating again, but I felt too old and out of shape. My coach told me to find five women who looked like me and were already doing what I wanted to do.

I found women twice my size, older than me, and skating like absolute queens. They gave me the confidence to trust my body and go after something I wanted. Without them as trailblazers, I might still be stuck in self-doubt instead of gliding around in my turquoise skates.

Step 2: Reframe Your Mindset

Instead of seeing trailblazers as competition, see them as proof that your dream is possible. Tell yourself:

• “If she can do it, I can do it.”
• “There’s a path to get there, and I’m capable of finding it.”
• “The universe allows this—it’s possible for women like me.”

Trailblazers help bridge the gap in your belief system, making your goal feel not just possible but inevitable.

Step 3: Take Small, Aligned Actions

Once you’ve found your trailblazers and shifted your mindset, ask yourself:
“What’s one small, aligned action I can take today?”

Small steps build momentum. They help you embody the version of yourself who’s already achieved that big dream.

Friend, the gap between where you are now and where you want to be doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. By finding your trailblazers, reframing your mindset, and taking small, aligned actions, you can create a path to success that feels achievable and aligned.

Your dreams are meant for you. If you can see it, you can create it.
