In this episode of The Self Love Project, Megan breaks down why most New Year’s resolutions fail — and how to finally create goals that actually stick.

You’ll learn why motivation alone isn’t enough, how to build systems that support you even on your worst days, and why self-compassion is the missing piece that keeps most people stuck in the quit-and-shame cycle.

Megan walks you through the three non-negotiables every goal needs, seven practical strategies to make follow-through easier than quitting, and how to handle missed days without spiraling into self-criticism. She also helps you differentiate between discomfort that leads to growth and signs that a goal was never right for you in the first place.

This episode is for anyone who’s tired of starting strong in January and giving up by February — and ready to build consistency without punishment, perfectionism, or shame.

Because real change doesn’t come from being harder on yourself — it comes from systems, support, and learning how to keep showing up imperfectly.
