In this episode, Laura and Keith’s conversation lands in that familiar second‑week‑of‑January tension. The holidays are over, the glow of fresh resolutions has faded, and real life is back in full swing. This is where big intentions meet work schedules, family logistics, and low energy, and where many people quietly give up on what they said they wanted.

For Laura, this year is about transformation—especially in health and wellness. Instead of chasing quick fixes or aggressive 30‑day plans, she is committed to building a sustainable lifestyle. Journaling helps her see the stories she tells herself about willpower, consistency, and whether what she’s doing “counts.” She shares real‑life examples, like throwing away beloved holiday candies, rethinking mindless and “obligatory” eating, and planning simple, satisfying meals in advance.

Keith’s focus is “measured ambition.” He wants to pursue activities he loves, like tennis, without falling into the trap of going all in, getting hurt, or burning out. He talks about the danger of waiting to “become the kind of person who…” before taking small steps, and how that mindset keeps dreams permanently out on the horizon. Instead, he leans on scheduling, simple tracking, and the idea of experiments. Simply trying things even if they might fail, so he can gather data and refine his approach. 

Laura and Keith invite you to see this season as the start of a long arc of change, not a pass‑fail test of your resolutions. Whether it’s food prep, habit stacking workouts with morning coffee, or celebrating small wins, transformation happens in tiny, repeatable choices. The goal is not perfection, but a lifestyle we can enjoy starting now.
