New Year intentions don’t need to be bigger, stricter, or more punishing to work. In this episode, Marci and Lauren talk about why values-aligned intentions are the key to creating change that actually lasts, especially for high-achieving women who are tired of setting goals that look good on paper but fall apart by February. We break down the difference between chasing outcomes and anchoring your intentions to how you want to feel, live, and show up in this next season.

You’ll walk away with practical prompts to clarify what truly matters to you right now, how to filter decisions through those values, and how to set intentions that support your body, energy, and real life, not just your calendar. We also share a big announcement about what’s coming next and end with a heartfelt thank you to this community for being here and supporting us for the past year and a half! 

Nervous system regulation isn’t about doing more; it’s about creating safety, predictability, and fewer decisions in an already chaotic season. In this episode, we normalize why December feels so edgy and explain why it’s not a willpower problem, but constant nervous system activation from packed calendars, disrupted routines, and decision overload.

We break down what regulation actually looks like for high-achieving women: not long meditations or perfect self-care, but simple, real-life practices that help your body exhale, reduce reactivity, and make everyday decisions feel easier.

You’ll learn practical, doable ways to regulate in real life using predictability, daily anchor points, and quick body-based resets—plus how reducing micro-stressors (like meal and schedule decisions) directly supports better sleep, steadier energy, and more consistent habits.

From productivity hacks and end-of-year reflection prompts, they explore the power of small actions, embracing the “grey zone,” and resisting the all-or-nothing mindset that so often derails our wellness goals during the holidays. Whether you’re overwhelmed by your to-do list, worried about holiday weight gain, or just trying to stay afloat, this episode is your permission slip to simplify, reset, and reclaim a sense of control through intentional choices and micro-momentum.

3. What’s one thing I will stop doing that drains or derails me?

In this week’s episode, Lauren and Marci are back for part two of their “Tough Love” conversation, aka the things that might sting a little, but that you need to hear if you want lasting results.

They kick things off chatting about the Season 2 premiere of Nobody Wants This (yes, it’s back!) and how their dating adventures are going. Then, they dive into some of the most common patterns that keep women stuck in the start-stop cycle: weekend free-for-alls, skipping meals, resisting tracking, and letting alcohol take the wheel.

This episode blends honesty with humor and practical mindset shifts you can use right away, because change doesn’t come from quick fixes; it comes from getting real about what’s holding you back.
