41: Why New Year’s Resolutions Don’t Work—and What to Do Instead
Episode Details

If you’re curious as to whether you have any stored emotions or trauma that might be causing your illness, preventing you from achieving your goals, or even just showing up as the best, authentic version of yourself, I invite you to take my free Stored Emotions and Trauma Quiz


What if the reason New Year’s resolutions don’t work isn’t a lack of discipline, but rather a lack of reflection?



I’ve never been a fan of resolutions. Winter is a natural season for slowing down, reflecting, and reconnecting with yourself, and when we honor that rhythm, healing, personal growth, and intentional change become far more sustainable.


In this episode, I walk you through two powerful practices I use personally and professionally that help you look honestly at where you’ve been, what no longer fits, and what parts of you are ready to be released, without shame or force. We also explore how unresolved emotional trauma, nervous system patterns, and identity-level beliefs quietly block change, whether in your health, business, or daily life.
