If you are struggling because the holidays look different this year, or if you feel overwhelmed by all the "new year, new me" stuff, you’re not alone.

While the new year can be a great time to reflect on the past twelve months, it can also be a time when all the feelings you’ve been repressing over the last year come together and make you feel like you’re failing at life. The flood of “new year, new you” messages may remind you of the goals you made 12 months ago that didn’t go the way you wanted, the things you didn’t get to do, and the life you thought you’d have by now.

If you feel like you "failed" this year (or last two years) because life didn’t look the way you thought it “should”, you weren't as productive as you wanted to be, you didn't get to do the big thing you were planning, or you felt like you didn’t do anything well, I hope this episode will help you pause, breathe, and reframe.
