Every January, millions of people swear this will be their year… only to watch their motivation fizzle out by February.

If you’re over 50 and tired of repeating that cycle, this episode will show you exactly why resolutions fail — and how YOU can become the exception.

Coach Kevin breaks down the real, science-backed reasons most people lose steam after the first few weeks of the new year. (Hint: it has nothing to do with discipline, motivation, or “trying harder.”)

This episode cuts through the noise and gives you a simple, powerful blueprint to approach 2026 differently — without starvation, guilt, or unrealistic expectations.

 

💪 IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL LEARN:

  • Why 92% of resolutions fail within weeks
  • The real reason willpower isn’t enough (especially after 50)
  • How motivation tricks you into choosing the wrong plan
  • Why fast weight loss destroys your metabolism
  • How to build a strategy your 50+ body will actually respond to
  • The 5-step method for becoming the *exception* this year
  • How to avoid the “January misery loop”
  • Why accountability is non-negotiable if you want lasting change

 

Resolutions fail because they rely on motivation and punishment. Success happens when you rely on structure, strategy, and support.

 

When you build the right habits — not heroic efforts — you stop failing resolutions because you stop needing them.

 

🚀 YOUR NEXT STEP

If you're tired of:

  • Starting over every January
  • Making bold resolutions that never stick
  • Feeling frustrated with slow metabolism or stubborn weight
