Kaleidoscope- Shifting Perspectives With a Twist

New Year's Resolutions Are Doomed. Here's What Actually Works

In this episode we're talking about the reasons New Year’s resolutions fail (it's not your fault!)—and what actually works instead. We explore: * the brain science behind habit change, * the myth of motivation, * why willpower isn’t enough. Drawing from neuroscience, the book Atomic Habits by James Clear and the deeper timing of 2025 as a year of completion, we reframe resistance and low motivation as signs of integration—not failure. If you’re feeling stuck or “in between,” this episode offers clarity, compassion, and a more supportive way forward in 2026.

Feelings Are Like Pesky Preschoolers- How to Manage Them

In this episode I share a tool to help you manage your feelings rather than wish them away. There are no "good" or "bad" feelings. All feelings are just messengers and they're on our team. Our feelings are actually something we have control over! (return to Episode #1 to refresh your memory on your Circle of Control). Give this tool for emotion management a try and reach out to let me know your ahas and takeaways.
