Ditch the ‘New Year, New You’ Pressure: A Fresh Approach to 2025

Feeling the New Year's pressure to overhaul your whole life, right now? Let’s rethink that.

After a too-short December and a too-long holiday break, New Years is coming in HOT with some be-more-do-better energy... and it feels like I'm already falling behind in 2025 (and it's only January 7th!).

Can you relate?

Instead of signing up for the slew of goals our society sets for us - the leanest body, biggest work accomplishments, most money, BEST YEAR YET! - I'm trying something a little bit different:

• Taking a breath.
• Looking back.
• And using my personal highs, lows, and new self-knowledge to set the course for a truly tailored approach to the new year.

And I'm inviting you to do the same.

It's not your typical to do list to level up. Instead, it's a mindful way to set an intention for the year to come.

If you’re ready to set goals that feel good, not forced, this episode is for you.
