It's the New Year - and instead of pressure, resolutions, or pretending we have it all figured out, we're talking honestly about what it's like to carry old patterns into a new calendar year.

In this episode, we unpack the emotional weight people bring into January, the expectations we inherit (and internalize), and how change actually happens - slowly, imperfectly, and often through behavior before emotion.

No reinvention required.

No fresh start fantasy.

Just two therapists on the brink, welcoming another year with curiosity, humor, and a little grace. Actually, we might still be working on that last part.

If the New Year feels heavy, overwhelming, or complicated 0 you're not doing it wrong.

You're human.
