No More New Year’s Resolutions: 6 Better Ways to Commit to Yourself

What if this New Year didn’t start with another list of resolutions you abandon by February?

In this holiday-season episode of the Fit After 40: Women’s Fitness & Health Revolution Podcast, Coach Kinsey Diment invites you to rethink New Year’s resolutions—especially if you’re a woman navigating perimenopause or menopause and feeling burned out by all-or-nothing approaches to health and fitness.

Instead of rigid goals, shame-based resolutions, or extreme resets, Kinsey shares 6 powerful, non-traditional ways to commit to yourself that actually work after 40. These approaches are rooted in consistency, self-compassion, and sustainable habit-building—because your body, brain, and life are different now.

In this episode, you’ll explore:

• Why New Year’s resolutions often fail women in midlife

• The power of choosing a Word of the Year as a guiding compass

• How to create gentle goals that support—not punish—you

• Monthly habit tracking using small, doable action steps

• Reflecting on what went right instead of obsessing over what needs fixing

• Setting boundaries and building support systems that protect your energy

• Why strength training during menopause requires a smarter, more intentional approach

This conversation is especially for women who feel like:

• What used to work for their body doesn’t anymore

• They’re tired of guessing, starting over, or doing it alone

• They want to feel strong, capable, and confident again—without burning out

This episode isn’t about extremes. It’s about small, consistent steps, strength that evolves with you, and committing to yourself with kindness.

Because strong isn’t gone—it’s just built differently now. And you don’t have to do it alone. 💪

🎧 Tune in, reflect, and start 2026 with a gentler, stronger plan—one habit at a time.
