New Year’s resolutions get a bad rap. And honestly? They don’t deserve it.

In this episode, we’re talking about why wanting more for yourself is not the issue, why cynicism isn’t wisdom, and why we need to stop yucking other people’s yums. This is encouragement with a little spice, plus some real talk on how to actually keep a resolution by focusing on the process instead of the outcome.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why New Year’s resolutions aren’t the problem and why being dismissive about them helps no one
• The difference between outcome goals and process goals (and why process always wins)
• How outcome obsession in trail running leads to burnout, overtraining, and injury
• FOMO goals vs goals you’re actually excited to work for
• Why signing up for races too fast or for the wrong reasons usually backfires
• What you can control when motivation fades
• How being encouraging costs nothing and matters more than you think
• Why “don’t yuck the yum” should be a rule we all live by

If you’re heading into a new year with a goal, a spark, or even just a quiet curiosity about what’s next, this episode is for you. And if you tend to roll your eyes at January goals? It might be for you too.
