It’s January 1st, and instead of resolutions, we’re talking about something quieter — and more honest.

In this New Year’s episode, we unpack why starting fresh doesn’t have to mean starting over, how resolutions can sometimes set us up to fail, and what it really looks like to set intentions that actually stick. From SMART goals and habit stacking to Dry January, hustle culture, and the pressure to always be “doing more,” we slow the whole thing down.

We talk about presence, reflection, gratitude, and why honoring what you’ve already lived matters just as much as planning what’s next. There’s laughter, real-life examples, a few Midwest truths, and a short guided breath to help you land right where you are.

No hype. No reinvention.

Just a reminder that every day is a gift — and that’s more than enough to begin.
