About this episode
Taniel discusses how to approach the new year differently by focusing on capacity rather than discipline, especially for working moms.
If you’re coming into 2026 already feeling behind, this episode is for you. In this episode, Taniel invites you to pause before diving into another year of goals, resolutions, and self-improvement pressure. Instead of trying harder or fixing yourself, this conversation explores why real change starts with capacity, not discipline - especially for working moms carrying invisible emotional and mental loads. You’ll hear why pressure and self-attack keep us stuck, how your nervous system responds to criticism, and what it actually takes to create movement that feels sustainable instead of exhausting. This episode sets the foundation for the next two conversations on procrastination and guilt - two patterns that are often misunderstood but deeply meaningful.
