As the year winds down, many of us feel the pressure to “lock in” and finish strong. But what does that really mean beyond hustle culture?

In this episode of Muse & Be Well, hosts Taelor Chanel and Misha Battiste unpack The Great Lock-In—a cultural moment that invites us to refocus, realign, and set intentional goals before the year closes.
