Why January is About Orientation, Not Reinvention


Listen Later

January is often the loudest month of the year, filled with pressure to set big goals, fix what is "wrong," and completely reinvent ourselves. But for those navigating grief, loss, or major life transitions, this "clean slate" narrative often feels hollow and exhausting.


In this episode, Amy Lindner-Lesser explores the concept of liminal space—the threshold between who you were and who you are becoming. Instead of sprinting through this period to find answers, we are invited to inhabit it. Amy discusses why your body and soul may be demanding rest and how the most radical thing you can do this month is to refuse to rush yourself.


In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • The difference between a doorway and a threshold.


  • Why "willpower" isn't the reason you might feel unmotivated in January.


  • How to ask "better" questions instead of "bigger" ones to find your steady ground.


  • The power of "soft release"—letting go of roles and expectations that are simply completed.
