In the first episode of 2025, Sabrina dives into building sustainable habits and creating meaningful change, challenging the expectation of becoming a brand-new person on January 1st. She reflects on her own experiences, including a tough New Year’s moment when she reverted to old patterns, illustrating how our brains resist change to maintain safety and familiarity. 

Real change requires neuroplasticity, consistency, and patience. Sabrina encourages starting with "micro yeses," reflecting on past resistances, and breaking goals into manageable steps. Small habits build momentum, creating dopamine-fueled wins that reinforce self-trust. Habit stacking—linking new habits to existing routines—helps solidify change. Sabrina emphasizes intentionality behind goals, urging listeners to explore their “why” to ensure goals align with personal desires rather than external pressures. 

Sabrina normalizes setbacks as opportunities for growth, framing them as data points for adjustment rather than failures. She advises responding to failures with curiosity, reflection, and recalibration while addressing emotional resistance and reframing limiting beliefs. True transformation, she notes, happens incrementally over time through self-compassion, persistence, and commitment to showing up daily.
