It’s probably no surprise we are talking about new year resolutions for this episode, our first of 2025!

We discuss our aversion to SMART goals, and some general pitfalls of new year resolutions… and yet we both concede that we are in favour of direction, purpose and thinking about how we want to be and feel. So we’ve decided to talk about resolutions (at any time) the Kirsty and Kathryn way!

We also discover that Kathryn can’t say ‘2025’ which could be problematic for the next 364 days, and Kirsty ties us in knots with a double negative brain teaser and coins the term ‘mental biscuit’.

Today’s question for you to mull over and which we also answer in the episode:

‘How do you want to be feeling at the end of 2025?’

The 4 questions to journal on about what you want to do differently:

What happens if I do do this?

What happens if I don’t do this?

What doesn’t happen if I do this?

What doesn’t happen if I don’t do this?
