Resolutions are Bullsh*t: Getting Rid of...

Audacy and Big Little Feelings
About this episode

Despite what our Instagram feeds are telling us, we actually DON’T need to suddenly become a whole new person the day the calendar hits January 1st.

Sure, the new year is a great opportunity for reflection, self-awareness, and goal setting. And? It can also be a recipe for MORE guilt, stress, and pressure that we really DO NOT need in our lives! On today’s episode, we talk about why typical New Year’s resolutions are kiiiinda bullsh*t—and how to take steps toward self-improvement in a *sustainable* way instead. 

On this episode, we’re going to: 

  • Show you how to release the pressure and bust through all the bullsh*t we’re fed about self-improvement
  • Teach you a quick, EASY 5 minute daily practice that’s rooted in science to make you instantly more intentional and happier!
  • Tell you EXACTLY what to do in the moment when our toddler says a swear word
  • Find the transcript for the episode here!
