The beginning of January often brings a mix of good intentions, excitement, and pressure... and yet, it’s also the time when many people unintentionally set themselves up to fail when trying to create new habits and work towards new year goals or resoultions.

Whether you’ve launched into the year feeling organised or you’re already feeling behind, this episode will help you reaccess and refine your goals, so you can build sustainable habits that genuinely last and are in line with your long-term vision.

In this episode, Kate covers:

1. Why most New Year goals don’t stick
2. The five common mistakes people make when setting resolutions
3. How to distinguish between your goal and your true desired outcome
4. Why intense challenges and restrictive plans rarely lead to long-term change
5. The power of starting small, and why small habits work
6. How to create a clear, realistic plan using the SMART goal framework
7. What resistance really means and why it’s a normal part of change
8. How to avoid perfectionism and get back on track after setbacks
9. The role of willpower, and how to build habits that eventually feel good, not forced
