If You Want The New Year To Feel Different... Start Here
Tue Dec 09 2025
For years, I thought New Year's resolutions would finally turn me into the “best version” of myself. Spoiler: they mostly left me discouraged, exhausted, and convinced I was already falling behind.
So I stopped.
And in this episode — my last before a long season away from the podcast — I’m sharing the simple New Year’s ritual I created instead. One that feels grounding, healing, spacious, and actually sustainable.
Today we’re walking through:
✨ How to remember the story you lived this year
✨ What to release so you don’t carry old weight into a new season
✨ How to reset with intention — without pressure or perfectionism
If resolutions haven’t been working for you (or haven’t felt kind)… this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
To go deeper, grab my brand-new guided journal The Story of This Year — the complete version of this process with prompts and space to reflect:

Thank you for being here. This community is one of my life’s greatest gifts.
Love,
Steph 🤍
