Have you given up on making New Year’s resolutions? Do you struggle to maintain them? With a heavy dose of skepticism, we’re asking whether the commitment is worth it.

For this special panel episode, strength coach Elisabeth Akinwale, registered dietitian Maya Feller, and meditation teacher Kimberly Snyder explain their versions of yearly renewal and the different approaches you can take to so-called resolutions. Is it really about committing for the year or is it about being present with what feels healthy and uplifting right now?  

HOST:  Ella Dove,  Sr. Director of Creative Development at Well+Good

GUESTS:

Maya Feller, MS, RD, CDN, and Cookbook Author
