Why does the "New Year, New You" mindset always feel so appealing—and why does it never actually work?

Every January, we're bombarded with promises of transformation, diets that guarantee results, and the idea that this year will finally be the year we “get it right.” But how many times have you bought into that hope, only to feel more frustrated and stuck than before? Spoiler: It’s not about your willpower.

In today’s episode, Brittany peels back the layers of the "New Year, New You" trap to reveal why it’s so appealing yet ultimately keeps us stuck. You’ll learn how this cycle affects you emotionally, spiritually, and mentally—and why breaking free requires more than the next big plan. Get ready for a faith-filled perspective on stepping out of the cycle and leaning into true freedom in Christ.

A few things you can expect to hear in this episode include…

🌟 Why shiny new plans (like diets) are so hard to resist

🔗 How the allure of control keeps you in bondage

📖 A biblical truth that can completely shift your approach to health and renewal

💔 The emotional and spiritual toll of chasing quick fixes

🙏 A practical, Christ-centered way to break the cycle for good
