Our Goals for 2026: Slow Growth, Strong Roots & Staying True to Slacks to Sweats Podcast

If there’s one word we’re claiming for 2026, it’s consistency. Not the “burnout, post-everywhere, do-it-all” kind of consistency either. We’re talking about the kind that builds something real over time — slow and steady, intentional, aligned, and rooted in the community we’ve been lucky enough to grow so far. Because the truth is... we’re not here to chase random numbers. We’re here to connect with the right people. The ones who get our vibe. The ones who laugh with us, heal with us, and feel like they belong here. SO, let’s talk about what we’re manifesting for 2026 — for the podcast, for our brand, and for ourselves.

2026 Podcast Goals: Growing the Right Way

We’re going into 2026 with one big mindset shift: growth doesn’t have to be loud to be powerful. We want to grow Slacks to Sweats Podcast in a way that feels authentic — not forced. Not copied. Not “just because it’s trending.” We want the kind of growth that happens when you show up, tell the truth, and keep going.

1. Grow the Podcast (Slow & Steady, Baby)

Our number one goal is simple: grow the podcast more in 2026. But we’re doing it the Slacks to Sweats way — one episode at a time, one new listener at a time, one real connection at a time. We want people who don’t just listen once... but stick around, share episodes, and become part of this little community we’re building. Slow growth = strong roots.

2. Create Better, More Relatable Content

The heart of Slacks to Sweats Podcast has always been content that feels like you’re hanging out with your friends — unfiltered, real, and sometimes chaotic in the best way. In 2026, our goal is to bring more relatable content that speaks directly to the lives of real people:

the exhausted moms

the healing women

the former corporate warriors

the soft-life dreamers

the ones rebuilding their confidence after hard seasons

We want our listeners to press play and think:

“Okay wait... same.”

3. Stay Consistent + Stay Connected

One thing we’ve learned? You can’t build a brand without showing up. SO, in 2026 we’re focusing on staying consistent with:

podcast episodes dropping on schedule

content that matches what we actually stand for

engaging with our listeners (not just posting and ghosting)

We want to build something that feels like a real relationship, not a one-way broadcast. Because you’re not “followers” to us... you’re community.

2026 Brand Goals: Marketing Smarter, Not Harder

Let’s be honest: marketing is a whole job by itself. And for a long time, we were just doing the best we could—posting when we remembered, trying random strategies, learning as we went. But in 2026, we’re leveling up.

4. Learn How to Market and Promote Our Brand Better

We love what we’ve built — and now we want more people to find it. So our goal is to:

learn better promotion strategies

create content that matches our vibe and gets discovered

understand how to grow on platforms without losing ourselves

Marketing isn’t about being fake. It’s about helping the right people find you. And we’re ready to get better at that.

5. Embrace Our Brand & Drown Out the Noise

This one is BIG.

In 2026, we’re choosing to embrace Slacks to Sweats Podcast fully — without shrinking, without second-guessing, and without letting outside negativity mess with what we’re building. Because when you’re doing something visible, there will always be:

haters

non-supportive communities

people who don’t understand your vision

people who love to critique but never create And we’re done letting that energy take up space. This year, we’re focused on protecting our peace and staying locked in. We’re not here for everyone. We’re here for our people.

Our Personal Goals for 2026: Health, Mindset & Being Proactive

Podcast goals are exciting, but we also know this:

we can’t pour into a community if our own cups are empty. SO, 2026 is about taking care of ourselves, too.

6. Be More Proactive About Our Mental Health

Mental health matters — especially when you’re juggling life, kids, work, creativity, and constant noise online. This year we want to be more proactive, not reactive. That means:

checking in with ourselves

recognizing burnout early

making rest part of the plan

choosing peace even when life is loud

We want to be mentally strong, emotionally grounded, and more intentional with how we move through the year.

7. Focus on Physical Health (Without the Pressure)

We’re not chasing perfection. We’re chasing consistency and confidence. In 2026, we want to be more mindful about our physical health:

moving our bodies more

eating in ways that support energy and balance

building habits we can actually stick to

making health part of our lifestyle, not punishment

It’s not about a “new body.” It’s about a better life.

What We Want 2026 to Feel Like

If we had to sum up our goals for 2026 in one vibe, it would be: More aligned. More intentional. More us.

We want to:

grow with purpose

create content that matters

market smarter

stay consistent

build community

protect our peace

and prioritize our mental + physical health

This year is about progress, not pressure.

Final Thoughts: From Corporate Grind to Comfy Vibes—Still At the end of the day, Slacks to Sweats Podcast has always been about becoming the version of you that feels free.

Free from expectations. Free from comparison. Free from people who don’t get it. So if you’re stepping into 2026 with goals that feel scary, exciting, or even uncertain... same. But we’re doing it anyway.Slow and steady. Together.
