I’m gently pushing back on the loud idea that a new year means you need a brand-new version of yourself. I talk honestly about the pressure women feel to reinvent, reset, and overhaul their lives every January—and why I don’t believe growth starts with erasing who you’ve been. Instead, I invite you to slow down, tell the truth about where you actually are, and notice what you’ve already survived, learned, and done well.
Key Takeaways:
- You don’t need a “new you” to grow- real change begins with honesty, self-acceptance, and honoring who you already are.
- Small, intentional steps (taken consistently) create more lasting transformation than pressure-filled resolutions.
- Reflecting on what you’ve done well builds confidence and clarity, helping you move forward with presence instead of perfection.
