You do it every year: make a resolution and never follow through with it. How can you make it stick this time? In this episode, we share several tips to help you set your New Year’s resolutions for 2025 and beyond.
Should You Set a New Year's Resolution?
What’s the point of setting a resolution if you know you struggle with committing to it? It can feel like setting yourself up for failure and disappointment. Linda suggests shifting your focus away from the term "resolutions" and instead aligning your goals with your personal values. She also emphasizes starting small rather than setting overly ambitious goals. By following the "1% rule," you can make tiny improvements every day, creating momentum to reach your objectives.Tailoring Goals to Your Lifestyle
Have you ever scrolled through TikTok, found a morning routine you liked, and tried to copy it? Did it work? Probably not. That’s because it wasn’t tailored to your personal routine or how you like to do things. In our episode with Cameron, he explained the importance of understanding your daily life and capabilities. Honesty and self-awareness help you set attainable, meaningful goals while avoiding disappointment.Strategies for Accountability
Here are some strategies to stay motivated as you work toward your 2025 goals: Write your goals down. Prioritize one significant objective. Conduct monthly progress reviews. You have to be the CEO of your life, consistently reassessing your goals. No one else is in charge, so stay accountable and work toward becoming a better version of yourself."Determine what's working for you because you may not need to do everything you think you need to do." — Linda Yates
"The most important thing is accountability. Have your most important personal goals, and the big thing is to be patient with yourself." — Nour Abochama

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
