Intentions Over Resolutions: Setting Goals That Actually Stick
Mon Feb 02 2026
New Year’s resolutions often fail because they’re rooted in pressure, guilt, and external expectations. In this episode, we take a different approach.
Instead of forcing change through rigid resolutions, we explore how to set intentions that align with your nervous system, values, and real-life capacity. This is about sustainable growth, not burnout direction over perfection, and consistency over intensity.
You’ll learn how to:
Reframe goal-setting without shame or all-or-nothing thinking
Set intentions that evolve with your life instead of controlling it
Create momentum through alignment rather than discipline alone
If traditional goal-setting has never worked for you, this episode offers a more human, grounded path forward.
