New Year, Same You—But Elevated: Why Ownership Beats Motivation Every Time
Send a text
This is the first episode of 2026, and we’re starting strong—with truth, not trends.
Every January, social media explodes with “New Year, New Me,” motivation hacks, and goal-setting hype. But here’s the problem: motivation doesn’t last. In fact, studies show that 80% of people give up on their New Year’s resolutions by the second week of January—and by February, most are barely hanging on.
In this episode, Kala Simmons, empowerment coach and creator of The Kollective, breaks down why motivation is a shaky foundation for success—and what actually creates lasting change: ownership.
You’ll learn:
- Why motivation is fleeting (and why that’s not a personal failure)
- The truth behind New Year’s resolutions and why most don’t stick
- How choosing ownership puts you back in control of your goals and decisions
- What it really means to elevate your current self (not reinvent yourself)
- How taking responsibility for your choices unlocks confidence, clarity, and momentum
Kala also introduces Own It, a powerful personal growth workbook designed to help you:
- Stop repeating the same cycles
- Take ownership of your habits, mindset, and decisions
- Create real, actionable change without pressure or fluff
Whether you’re a self-guided girlie or want deeper support with a 1:1 call, Own It meets you where you are—and helps you move forward with intention.
🎯 If you’re tired of starting over every January
🎯 If you want consistency instead of motivation
🎯 If you’re ready to step into your Main Character Era
This episode is for you.
Grab Own It in the show notes and start choosing ownership today.
I’ll see you on the other side.
Doors are open for The Main Character Intensive — a 5-day, private deep dive designed to collapse the timeline on your transformation, dismantle over-responsible and “I got it” identities, and unlock the version of you that leads with radical self-trust.
Secure your spot here ➡️ The Intensive
I hope this episode helped you find hope, value, or strength. Never forget you are the Main Character 🎬💥 of your story, so if you don't love the narrative that you're living, it's never to late for a Plot Twist... And I can help.
