In this episode of Even Here, Even Now, I jam about my *concerns* with traditional New Year's resolutions, examining how the overculture pushes us into setting unattainable goals and highlighting the importance of weaving self-compassion into our commitments. It is my deepest hope that this episode supports you in rethinking the winter season as a time of rest and nourishment rather than making drastic changes. You are not a problem to be fixed! You are a human being in deep need of restoration and tender care!
Join me as I advocate for setting realistic, deeply rooted intentions based on genuine desires and needs, rather than societal pressures. This episode will provide insights about how to create sustainable, self-loving commitments for the year ahead.
