In the first solo episode of 2025, I discuss the art of starting the year fresh in a way that feels authentic and sustainable. While traditional new year resolutions have faced criticism for being rigid and unsustainable, there’s still incredible value in using this time to set heartfelt, realistic intentions. I cover the difference between external, societal expectations and deeply personal aspirations. Throughout the episode, I share practical advice on setting and meeting goals that are grounded in your values. Whether it’s healing on a deeper level, discovering what lights your heart on fire, or letting go of toxic people – this episode will empower you to approach 2025 with meaningful intentions that nurture your mind, body, and soul.
