The Nancy Levin Show E239: New Year's Resolutions Don't Work. Try This Instead!
January often arrives with a quiet demand to 'fix yourself.' To try harder. To finally get it right.
If you're a high-achieving people-pleaser, you've likely learned that resolutions start with hope and end with guilt. They're built on pressure, not truth. And they quietly reinforce the belief that who you are right now isn't enough.
In this episode, I offer a different way to enter the new year—one rooted in self-worth, not self-correction. Instead of resolutions, I invite you to choose non-negotiables: simple, sustaining rituals that reconnect you to yourself. These small daily choices create clarity, strengthen boundaries, and help you stop abandoning yourself in the name of productivity.
This conversation is for anyone who feels exhausted by starting over every January and ready to choose presence, sustainability, and self-trust instead.
What we explore:
- Why traditional resolutions are rooted in lack
- How non-negotiables support self-worth and clarity
- Why small daily rituals are more powerful than big goals
- The connection between burnout and self-abandonment
- Letting go of what's complete to make space for what's true
- Choosing yourself without needing permission
