Vision Boards: Your Roadmap to Purpose & Power

Let’s get one thing straight—vision boards aren’t just for Pinterest lovers and scrapbook enthusiasts. They’re tools for turning your wildest goals into reality. If you’ve ever felt like your dreams are stuck in the idea phase, it’s time to map them out visually and get to work.

In my latest podcast episode, I dive deep into the power of vision boards, why they work, and how you can create one that actually helps you crush your goals in 2025. Here’s a quick recap with zero fluff and all the good stuff:


Why Vision Boards Matter:

Vision boards are your secret weapon—part goal-setting, part visual trigger, and all-around badass tool for keeping your intentions front and center. They’re not magic, but they work like one when combined with focus and action.

As I always say: Anything is possible with intention, planning, and action. Vision boards are where those three things meet and start to groove.

And no, they’re not just about pretty pictures—they’re about putting your goals where you can’t avoid them. Because let’s face it, out of sight is out of mind, and that’s not how we roll here.


How to Create Your Vision Board:

Ready to make it happen? Here’s your no-nonsense, step-by-step guide:

  1. Reflect on Your Goals:
    • What do you want to achieve in 2025? (Big, bold, and unapologetic.)
    • What lights you up and makes you feel alive? (Think joy, not obligation.)
    • What does your dream life actually look like? (Get specific—vague goals lead to vague results.)
  2. Gather Your Materials: Whether you’re old-school with magazines and glue sticks or all about Canva and Pinterest, find images, quotes, and symbols that speak to you. Digital or analog, just make sure it feels good.
  3. Focus on What Matters Most: Center your board around your big, hairy, audacious goals (BHAGs). Surround them with visuals that hype you up every time you look at them.
  4. Make It Visible: If you can’t see it, it doesn’t exist. Put your vision board where you’ll see it daily—your desk, your bathroom mirror, or even your phone screen. Constant reminders equal consistent progress.
  5. Be Specific and Positive: No “I’ll try” nonsense here. Use imagery and words that scream, I’m doing this. Whether it’s a fitness milestone, a career goal, or a dream trip to Greece, make it real and make it exciting.

The Science Behind Vision Boards:

Here’s the deal—your brain loves visuals. Neuroscience shows that visualizing your goals as if they’ve already happened triggers motivation and reinforces positive behaviors.

For example, my board includes images of family dinners, cycling routes, Spain and Greece (because yes, I’m going), and even the number 47—a nod to the year I nailed my black belt and stopped giving a damn about what anyone thought of me. That year was freedom for me, and I’m bringing that vibe into 2025.


Keep It Dynamic:

Life changes, and so should your vision board. Review it, update it, and celebrate your wins along the way. It’s not a static piece of art—it’s a living roadmap for your future.


Make 2025 Your Best Year Yet:

Vision boards aren’t just tools—they’re statements. They’re you saying, This is what I want, and I’m going after it.

So, what are you waiting for? Create your vision board, hang it up, and let it remind you daily of what you’re capable of. Because let’s face it, the chaos of life isn’t stopping—but neither are you.
