Why New Year Resolutions Fail

As we step into 2026, I've been reflecting on why so many New Year resolutions fall apart and why real change can feel so elusive, even when we want it deeply. After a year of shedding old patterns and facing familiar triggers, many of us are ready for something that truly feels different.

I explore lasting change is not about trying harder or setting better goals but about creating an identity shift from the inside out. When who you are begins to change, your life naturally follows, and this year no longer has to repeat the last.

In this episode, I share:

• Why New Year resolutions rarely stick and what actually works

• How triggers point us toward the deeper work that creates real change

• What it means to make an identity shift rather than a surface level goal

• A simple four step process to help you embody the version of yourself you are becoming

• How to lead yourself from your Adult Chair in everyday life
