Episode 216: New year, NOT new you!
About this episode
This episode challenges the toxic 'New Year, New You' mentality and encourages listeners to embrace their current selves instead of pursuing unrealistic goals.
The "New Year, New You" industrial complex is back, and frankly, it’s toxic af. This week, we’re opting out of the annual ritual of self-loathing disguised as "goal setting." If you’re tired of the all-or-nothing trap that leaves you feeling like a failure by January 10th, this episode is your permission slip to stay exactly as you are. We’re diving into: Why the "overhaul" mentality is actually a scam designed to sell you shit you don't need The radical power of doing less and why it’s not "laziness" but going with the seasons How to embrace the "Current Me" instead of chasing a "Future Me" who doesn't even exist yet Ditch the tired idea of overhaul, resolutions, and new habit building, and let’s get real about self-care and what's gotta go!
