The Guilt Girl

New Year, New Failures


Listen Later

In this episode, Grace Bithell discusses the complexities of New Year's resolutions, particularly the pressure to achieve perfection and the guilt that often accompanies unmet goals. She advocates for embracing partial efforts and celebrating progress, regardless of the outcome. Grace encourages listeners to shift their focus from rigid goal-setting to exploring feelings and desires, promoting a more compassionate approach to self-improvement. Ultimately, she suggests that instead of traditional resolutions, we should aim for 'New Year's vibes' that prioritize enjoyment and personal values.
