If it’s only January 16th and you already feel behind, rushed, pressured, or like you’ve somehow “messed up” the year… this episode is for you. Because the truth is: January is not a race, there is no invisible deadline, and you are not failing just because you missed a workout, skipped a post, or didn’t start perfectly on January 1st.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why feeling “behind” in January is completely normal (and not a sign you’ve failed)
- The invisible urgency clock we’ve all been conditioned to race against
- Why January is not the time to have your entire year figured out
- How hustle culture sneaks into personal development and entrepreneurship
- Why slowing down can actually move your goals forward faster
- Why honoring your current season is a leadership skill (not a weakness)
- Why messy progress still counts as progress
- The “one-one-one” approach: one priority per day, week, and month
- How to stop chasing motivation and start trusting your pace
and so much more!
