This is the beginning of a brand new series here on The Work of Becoming podcast, all about New Year's Resolution Tips! I love the fresh start. I love the feeling of a new year. I love the possibility that comes with it. Over the next few episodes, I’ll be giving you a few tips for approaching the new year and setting resolutions. This first episode of the series is all about what you already have. Pain-point marketing and scarcity marketing can make us think and feel like we’re less than we actually are. We’ll walk through a few reminders I have for you as you move through the holidays, and please ground yourself in this podcast as a reminder that you are enough.

Summary: Did you know that the holidays were not designed to fuck you over? In this episode of The Work Of Becoming podcast, we’ll chat about the power of autonomy and how to not hand over the responsibility of your behavior to the holidays. I see a lot of people enter the holidays with this mentality instead of figuring out a compassionate plan that won’t let what everybody else says get in the way of your relationship with your current and future self. Tune into this episode for a deeper dive into how personal autonomy will help you manage holiday stress by prioritizing yourself.

Summary: Are you interested in learning about compassionate planning and follow through?

In this episode of The Work Of Becoming podcast, you’ll get a kind reminder that you don’t have to decide on your goals for the new year just yet (or even at all). I’ll also be letting you in on the secret of why December is a good month to experiment before locking something in. So if you haven't set a goal yet, that’s okay! Listen in for some tips on how to play around with potential goals to figure out how to actually grow your skills and adjust your mindset and change your behavior in pursuit of that 2.0 person you want to be.

Summary: In this episode of The Work Of Becoming podcast, we’re going to discuss people pleasing and moving the focus to what it is exactly that you want for your life. Now, you don't have to go from people-pleasing tendencies all the way to holding yourself to exactly what you want without settling. That is an immense journey in and of itself. But, I do want you to start off with this baby step: identify what you actually want. This is really, really, really important, particularly in the month of December. Listen in to find out why!
