Why do so many well-intentioned goals fall apart, even when we really want change?

I don’t personally make New Year’s resolutions, but I’ve spent a lot of time studying why people do and why most of them fail. What I found surprised me. The same patterns that cause New Year’s goals to fall apart show up with health goals, financial goals, vacations, and major life events all year long.

In this episode, I walk through the real reasons resolutions fail and how to set goals in a way your brain and body can actually support. When goals are clear, attainable, and built around action rather than motivation, they stop feeling overwhelming and start creating steady progress.

What you’ll learn

☑️ Why vague or overly ambitious goals sabotage success before you begin

☑️ How small, measurable steps build momentum and resilience

☑️ Why motivation alone is unreliable and what works better long-term

If you want goals that support your health, reduce stress, and actually fit your real life, this episode will help you approach change in a way that sticks. Listen in and set yourself up for success this year and beyond.
