  • Why Your Resolutions Don't Stick (and What You Really Need to Change)
    Jan 1 2025
    **Podcast Summary:** In this episode, “Why Your Resolutions Don’t Stick (and What You Really Need to Change),” I take a heartfelt look at my own history with New Year’s resolutions—how they often mirrored my deepest longings, especially around weight loss. I share the realization that flipping the calendar doesn’t magically instill resolve or transform habits overnight. Instead, I explore how our practices and patterns often run much deeper than surface-level goals, reflecting a bigger message we need to address. Tune in for honest reflections and practical advice on creating meaningful change as we step into a new year. Heather N.
