Happy New Year! Ok, let's talk about those resolutions — you know, our well-intentioned promises we make while riding the champagne-and-optimism high of January 1st. We've all been there, and if you're anything like I used to be, you've watched those lofty goals fade faster than your holiday decorations come down.

But here's the thing: I'm not here to add to your already-full plate or make you feel guilty about your past follow-through face-plants. Instead, I'm sharing a revolutionary approach I call "less but best" that actually works. In this episode, I'll show you how focusing on one meaningful change (like my commitment to strength training) can transform multiple areas of your life, big or small. You'll discover how to release the pressure of maintaining multiple goals, gain crystal-clear clarity on what truly matters, and create sustainable change without burning out. Plus, I'll teach you how to distinguish between toxic positivity and authentic optimism (spoiler alert: you don't need to be cheerful 24/7!), and show you how to master the art of intentional energy management. Whether you're feeling charged up or a bit weary, this episode will help you honor your natural rhythms while pursuing goals that light you up from the inside out. Get ready to ditch the overwhelming resolution lists and embrace a more powerful way to create lasting change so you can thrive in '25.
