Happy 2023 everyone!!! In light of the new year, I decided to do something a little different. This week, I talk about my unpopular take on the “new year, new me” mentality and why it can hinder your growth rather than support it. Nothing is wrong with desiring change for yourself and your life, just be intentional with the change; and make sure that it is for YOU, rather than for others!

TIME STAMPS:

2:25- Disclaimer

3:51-#1: It’s too sudden & does not make room for gradual change

6:11-#2: It’s overwhelming

8:22-#3: It’s too trendy

10:37- #4: It can inflict self-harm

15:22-#5: It’s dishonest (to a certain degree)

17:30- #6: It fulfills the false ego, rather than the natural state of humanity

21:30- #7: It invalidates your growth from previous years

24:28- A lil’ New Years pep talk from Tab
