 ✨ 29 Days to the New Year: Why Staying Steady Beats “Starting Over” 

In This Episode, We Talk About:

  • Why “I’ll start in January” feels good… until it doesn’t
  • The emotional and physical cost of all-or-nothing thinking
  • How to stop setting January-You up for frustration and burnout
  • The mountain metaphor: climbing vs. holding your ground
  • What maintenance really looks like during chaotic seasons
  • How to use your “future self” as a guide in daily decisions
  • Why micro-actions matter more right now than ever
  • Why perfection backfires (and how to avoid the holiday spiral)

What This Episode Will Help You With:

  • Reducing holiday guilt
  • Staying consistent without being rigid
  • Feeling empowered instead of discouraged
  • Approaching the New Year excited, not defeated
  • Developing sustainable habits instead of crash-restart cycles

💛 Weekly Reminder

You don’t have to be perfect — you just have to stay connected to yourself.

When motivation dips, lean into structure.
 When the schedule gets chaotic, lean into micro-actions.
 When you’re tempted to give up, ask your future self what she needs.

She knows the way.
