How to Make New Year’s Resolutions Stick

As we step into 2025, let’s talk about resolutions…the hopes, the hype, and why they often fizzle out. In this episode, I share the surprising origins of New Year’s resolutions (hint: thank the Babylonians), the importance of building a solid foundation, and why small, consistent steps matter more than big leaps.

Together, we’ll explore how to align with our values, surround ourselves with the right people, and create a story that empowers us to succeed. Let’s defy the odds, celebrate our scars, and make this year one of resilience, joy, and ripples of positive change.
