In this episode we're talking about the reasons New Year’s resolutions fail (it's not your fault!)—and what actually works instead.

We explore:

• the brain science behind habit change,
• the myth of motivation,
• why willpower isn’t enough.

Drawing from neuroscience, the book Atomic Habits by James Clear and the deeper timing of 2025 as a year of completion, we reframe resistance and low motivation as signs of integration—not failure.

If you’re feeling stuck or “in between,” this episode offers clarity, compassion, and a more supportive way forward in 2026.
