In this episode of Hot Flush Happy Hour, Tori and Kat ease into the new year with a relaxed catch-up before diving into the pressure-packed world of New Year’s resolutions — and why so many of them don’t last.

They chat about going “too big too fast,” making goals from guilt or exhaustion, and the familiar trap of buying a beautiful new journal that never quite gets used. Instead, they explore why small, consistent changes are far more powerful than dramatic overhauls, especially when hormones, energy levels, and real life are all in the mix.

This episode is all about normalising stopping and starting, breaking big goals into doable habits, and shifting the focus from what you want to achieve to how you want to feel and who you’re becoming. Gentle, honest, and encouraging, it’s a reminder that you don’t need a new year — or perfection — to create meaningful change.
