Your Year, Your Timeline: Ditching January Pressure
How do you really feel about the start of this new year? Excited? Overwhelmed? Stuck? In this episode of The Powerful Content Podcast, I’m diving into the pressure-filled world of New Year resolutions and why it’s perfectly okay if you’re not ready to dive into goal-setting just yet.
I’ll be sharing my own experiences with the ‘New Year, New You’ message and how, after a busy holiday season, I’ve learned to take a slower, more intentional approach to starting the year. We’ll talk about what it means to give yourself permission to pause, focus on small but meaningful wins, and revisit planning when it feels right for you.
This isn’t about throwing goals out the window; it’s about redefining your timeline, letting go of societal expectations, and embracing what works best for you. If you’ve been feeling the weight of starting the year ‘perfectly,’ this episode will help you find a gentler, more compassionate way forward—not just for your business goals, but for yourself too.
