New Year, new… Nope. We’re not doing that. Forget the pressure of rigid resolutions that fizzle out by February—in this episode of Take It Off, Jess and Julie are breaking down why traditional New Year’s resolutions often set us up for failure (hint: it’s not you, it’s them). Instead, they’re introducing a more aligned and sustainable way to start the year: choosing a Word of the Year.

A Word of the Year is a simple yet powerful way to set intentions without guilt, pressure, or perfectionism. Unlike resolutions that rely on willpower and rigid rules, choosing a word allows you to stay inspired, flexible, and connected to your bigger vision throughout the year. Jess and Julie share their 2025 words—Amplify and Expand—and how they’re using them as guiding principles for personal growth, career evolution, and everyday decision-making.

If you’re tired of the all-or-nothing mindset of resolutions and want a fresh, empowering way to set the tone for 2025, this episode will help you rethink the way you approach change.

✨ What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why resolutions often lead to burnout and disappointment
• How a Word of the Year helps create sustainable, meaningful growth
• Practical ways to choose your word and integrate it into daily life
• The mindset shift that makes goal-setting feel easier and more aligned
