Every January, we're sold the same promise: New year, new you.

Fresh motivation. Big plans. A clean slate.

But what if the "fresh start" was never designed to work in the first place? And what if the reason it hasn't worked for you has nothing to do with discipline, motivation, or willpower?

In this episode, I'm unpacking why traditional January resets fail so consistently—and what actually creates lasting change instead. We're talking about motivation myths, generic plans that ignore real life, and why trying to declutter (or change anything) alone is one of the biggest reasons people get stuck.

I'm also sharing the real story of a client (Evie) whose yearly January reset cycle left her feeling defeated, ashamed, and convinced something was wrong with her—until she tried a completely different approach.

If you've ever felt hopeful on January 1st… only to feel discouraged by January 18th, this episode is for you.

What You'll Learn

• Why most New Year's resolutions fail by mid-January (and the exact date most people quit)

• The cultural myth behind "fresh starts" and why it quietly blames you when it fails

• Why motivation is not a strategy—and what actually sustains progress

• The three core reasons January resets almost always fall apart

• How generic decluttering plans work against busy families

• Why real change rarely happens in isolation

• The difference between a heroic push and a sustainable system

• What finally helped one mom break out of the January-reset cycle for good

• How shifting the method (not yourself) changes everything

It was never you.

You don't need fixing. You don't need more willpower. You don't need a new identity.

You need a method that actually works for real life.
