Welcome to episode 200!!! This is a huge milestone! Four years ago, this podcast started in my closet with a laptop, a DIY intro, and a commitment to show up imperfectly. Today, I’m celebrating 200 episodes with you — whether this is your first listen or you’ve been here since Raising Happy Teens. Thank you for being here, sharing episodes, sending messages, and letting me be part of your life.

As we wrap up the year, we’re officially in “New Year, New You” season, and the internet is overflowing with pressure to fix yourself, reinvent yourself, or overhaul your entire life on January 1. But here’s the truth:

You don’t need a new you. You just need a supported you.

In this special milestone episode, I’m breaking down why traditional New Year’s resolutions often fail — and how to set goals that feel aligned, meaningful, sustainable, and actually doable. This episode is short, sweet, and designed to help you create real momentum without burnout or perfectionism.

🎧 In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why “New Year, New You” messaging is toxic and rooted in “not good enough” thinking

• The psychology behind the fresh start effect and how it can help (not pressure) you

• Five reasons most resolutions fail and how to avoid them

• How to set goals that enhance your life instead of making it more stressful

• A simple, identity-based framework that makes habits easier to stick with

• Why small, subtle shifts create more transformation than massive overhauls

• How to separate emotional needs from lifestyle goals so you stop setting goals from guilt

• The mindset reframe that helps you build momentum all year long

🔥 You’ll also get my 6-step goal-setting framework

If you want 2026 to be the year where you become the most YOU you've ever been — grounded, supported, joyful, and aligned — this episode will show you exactly how to start.

Perfect for you if:

• You're tired of all-or-nothing resolutions

• You want sustainable health and wellness habits

• You’re craving structure without pressure

• You want to feel better in your body without guilt-driven goals

• You’re ready for realistic, compassionate goal setting

Thank you for 200 episodes. I’m taking a short holiday break (my first ever!) and I’ll be back in January with brand-new episodes, expert interviews, and conversations about midlife health, hormones, strength, and quality of life.

Wishing you a beautiful holiday season and the happiest New Year. See you in 2026.
