In this episode, Deborah Stellingwerff and Tracy Lundell unpack why traditional New Year’s resolutions so often leave us feeling pressured, behind, or not enough and offer a more compassionate alternative. Instead of adding more discipline, effort, or expectations, they invite listeners to consider intentions and eliminations as a way to create relief, capacity, and sustainable growth.

Together, they explore how goal-setting is ultimately about wanting to feel better than you do right now and why coming at change from self-criticism or “fixing” energy only leads to burnout. Through personal reflections and practical insights, Deb and Tracy encourage a kinder, more aligned approach to the new year: clearing space, simplifying what’s no longer working, and building support systems that actually help you move forward.

This conversation is a reminder that nothing about you needs fixing and that feeling better is not the reward for success, it’s the fuel.

🎧 Listen now and start taking aligned action—whether you feel like it or not.
