91- Why New Year’s Resolutions Don’t Work — Motherhood Edition
If you’ve ever started a new year full of good intentions… only to feel behind before January is over — this episode is for you.
Motherhood doesn’t pause so you can “start fresh,” and most New Year’s resolutions were never designed with moms in mind. In this episode, we unpack why resolutions so often fall apart in motherhood, how unrealistic expectations quietly fuel shame, and what actually supports growth in real life.
We talk about:
- Why willpower and consistency don’t work the way we’ve been told they should
- The expectation trap that sets moms up to feel like they’re failing
- Realistic vs. unrealistic expectations in this season of life
- The powerful parallels between birth, motherhood, and flexibility
- What to focus on instead of resolutions
This isn’t about doing more or fixing yourself. It’s about honoring your capacity, releasing pressure, and setting expectations that fit your real life — not a highlight reel.
If the new year already feels heavy, let this episode be a deep exhale. 🤍
