Happy January! Episode 230 is here to help you tackle goal resistance and resolution trauma. Why do so many of us feel hesitant or even traumatized by the idea of setting goals and resolutions? Let’s try a compassionate alternative framework: "more or less." By focusing on what we want more or less of in our lives, we can create manageable, meaningful change without the pressure of perfectionism. Whether you're vegan, curious about plant-based living, or just looking to live more intentionally, this episode has valuable insights for everyone.

Key Points:

• Understanding Goal Trauma:

  Michele explores how past failures and societal pressures can create resistance towards setting goals and making resolutions. (00:00:58 - 00:02:52).

• The "More or Less" Framework:

  Introduced as a flexible, compassionate approach to personal growth—it's about leaning into gradual progress rather than aiming for perfection. (00:07:42 - 00:08:45).

• Practical Examples:

  From asking for vegan options at restaurants to incorporating more seasonal produce,  real-life examples of applying the "more or less" concept. (00:08:45 - 00:13:54).

• Crowding Out Method:

  Inspired by Dr. Michael Greger, "crowding out" animal products on your plate with more plant-based options. (00:16:25 - 00:19:16).
