January 1st gets a lot of credit it didn’t earn.

It’s just a day on the calendar.
No special permission.
No magic reset.

This episode is about letting go of the idea that change has to wait for the “right time” and remembering that momentum usually starts on very ordinary days.

We talk about why waiting can quietly train us to doubt ourselves, and why small, steady decisions tend to matter more than big declarations.

You’ll also meet Jan, our newest Trailblazer on the Rise.
Turning 60 in 2026.
Inspired by watching her niece complete the Broken Ruck.
Choosing to step toward challenge instead of waiting for a perfect moment.

Nothing flashy.
Nothing forced.
Just someone deciding to show up.

If you’ve been feeling the urge to reset but don’t want another hype cycle, this one’s for you.

If you want to stay connected:
The weekly newsletter is where I share the same steady conversations we have here,  reflections, movement, and reminders that don’t rush you.

You’re welcome anytime.
No pressure.

Make today incredible,
Dane
