“Your goal should never be to become someone else. Instead, your focus should be to keep becoming more yourself ” - mee

With everybody and their mom throwing around the phrase “new year, new me!” it had me thinking.. there has to be a better framework. In today’s episode, I want to encourage you NOT to become a NEW you, but instead to become MORE you. 

The start of a new year often feels like all or nothing. Everything begins on January 1st. You have to do better, eat better, look better, spend your time better, manage your money better.. the list goes on. It's a clean slate. It’s a chance to get to everything you’ve been putting off. It's a time to set goals and fantasize about how beautiful your life will be when all your dreams come true. So we get out our journals, head to pinterest, daydream about our bright future, and convince ourselves THIS is the year. 

Why is it then that we often fall flat? That we don't accomplish our goals? That we get stuck in looped patterns? Lack of gratitude, lack of reflection, and lack of connection with ourselves.  

In this episode, the teacher in me really came out to play. I have created a fully editable document for you to dive into 2025 and plan ahead for 2026. Two options: listen fully & reflect later OR listen & pause the ep to reflect. The choice is yours!
