Are you tired of making New Year’s resolutions… only to abandon them by mid-January (or earlier)? You’re not alone.

In this episode of Transformative Journeys, I break down the real reasons resolutions tend to fail - and spoiler alert: it’s not because you lack willpower or motivation.

We explore:

✨ The neuroscience behind why your brain resists sudden change
🧠 Why willpower is a limited, unsustainable resource
🧩 How identity-based goals work better than deprivation-based resolutions
🧘‍♀️ How reflection, structure, and small, meaningful shifts can rewire your habits
🛠 Plus: My personal process for setting goals that stick - and why I haven’t made a resolution in years

You’ll also get two sets of journaling prompts to help you reflect on the past year and move into the new one with intention and clarity.

This isn’t a “New Year, New You” conversation.
This is about working with your brain, not against it - and creating a version of growth that actually fits your life.
