A Simpler Approach to Growth and Commitment...

In this episode of Permission Slip-ups, Kate and David explore the annual ritual of New Year's resolutions — why we make them, why they often fade, and what actually helps us create meaningful change. After a playful look at the cultural obsession with "new year, new you," they shift into a deeper conversation about clarity, intention, and choosing the one thing that truly moves you forward. This episode invites listeners to break free from overwhelm and align with the action that matters most.

In this thought-provoking episode of Permission Slip-ups, Kate and David sit down again with Stuart Preston, who offers a passionate and deeply personal perspective on the word 'desire.' Calling it 'contentious', Stuart encourages us to explore the implications of the word and invites us to reflect on how language shapes our mindset between wanting and striving, and how rethinking words like desire can open new ways of understanding fulfillment, purpose, and self-awareness.
