Annnnnd....we're back!
We dusted off our mics and shook off the holiday fog to bring you Episode 8, fresh off an extended January breather – which, let’s be honest, was a bit more extended than we initially planned, but perhaps the perfect way to sum up this episode...where we are giving ourselves (and everyone else) permission for a slower, less scripted start to the new year.
In this episode, we dive headfirst into the catch-22 of New Year’s resolutions, imposter syndrome, and the realities of setting and (not) keeping those well-intended beginnings.
Which begs the question, should imposters even make resolutions? And if so, what does it mean when we inevitably find ourselves watching those resolutions slip through our fingers, especially through the lens of our imposter syndrome?
We chat about ditching the pressures of 'New Year, New You', in favour of a more forgiving approach while delving into the nuances of setting (or not setting) personal and professional goals, battling our inner imposter, and why it’s perfectly okay to declare February (or March, or April) the real start of the new year.
From the pitfalls of planning when you add ADHD into the mix, to the universal feeling of being utterly tired (our unofficial word for the year), we cover it all.
Whether you’re treading water with your resolutions, still trying to figure out your word of the year, or just here for a good time, we’re right there with you as we navigate the choppy waters of early 2025.
