Why I’m Not "Slowing Down" at 50: The 2026 Momentum Strategy
Statistically, most people abandon their New Year’s resolutions by the second Friday of January. They call it "Quitter's Day," and it happens because traditional resolutions are built on an "all-or-nothing" light switch that is designed to fail the moment life gets messy. In this season premiere, Rhonda Lavoie strips away the "Instagram perfect" veneer of goal setting and introduces a high-level business and sanity strategy: The Theme Word.
Rhonda gets vulnerable about her own "Real Reel," including tackling a mountain of debt and the pressure of launching her new tech company, Paced, by her 50th birthday. She breaks down the "What-the-Hell-Effect" that leads to total collapse after one slip-up and reveals the specific habit—The Parking Lot Trap—that is likely killing your momentum. If you are tired of the "pass/fail" drama and ready to start living instead of just consuming, this episode is your unfancy guide to 2026.

(00:00) - The "Quitter's Day" Statistic: Why Friday is the most dangerous day for your ambition.
