#25 New Year, No Pressure: A Softer Way to Start


Listen Later

The new year is here… and with it, the pressure to be better, faster, more disciplined, more motivated.
But what if January isn’t the time to hustle? What if it’s the time to soften?

In this episode, I’m sharing a very honest and gentle perspective on New Year’s resolutions, the 1 percent method, winter energy, and why I’m choosing to enter this year soft and strong.

We’ll talk about:
Why big resolutions often fail
Why your body and nervous system are still in winter mode
How the 1 percent method creates real, sustainable change
Why softness is not weakness but strength
My personal intention for this year and what “soft & strong” really means to me
Vision boards, reflection rituals and why none of them should feel like pressure

This episode is an invitation to slow down, release the “new year, new me” mindset, and choose growth from a place of self-compassion instead of self-criticism.

Because you don’t need to rush into the new year.
You’re not behind.
And gentle is the new strong.
