Every January we're encouraged to set new goals and come back to work energised, focused, and ready to perform. But for many busy professionals, that pressure lands at exactly the wrong time.
In this episode, I explore why January goal-setting so often fails - not because of a lack of motivation or discipline, but because of exhaustion, stress, and a mismatch between natural energy and workplace expectations.
We'll look at:
The hidden pressure of January at work
Why most New Year's resolutions don't last
How working with seasonal rhythms supports sustainable change
Why rest and recovery are foundational to wellbeing and performance
A gentle reflection for those who want clarity without overwhelm
If January feels heavier than expected, this episode offers a calmer, more realistic way forward.
