From experience, majority of 1:1's turn into detailed status updates rather than goals and career growth. When you think about it, your goals don't change every weeks. Which is why a weekly status update on your project will always be the main topic of conversation because it changes constantly. "Are you blocked?", "what's your ETA for XYZ", "did you talk to bob about ABC?". etc...
Your goals and career growth are discussed prior to your annual review. It's sounds bad but that's reality.
