New year, new goals. But what actually sticks?
In this episode of The SpelLIFE Podcast, Jill and Gaynell ditch traditional New Year's resolutions and explore a more sustainable way to design your year: one that's rooted in systems, seasons, and small habits.
From the idea of Drop it. Keep it. Add it. to honoring the natural rhythms of life, the Jill and Gaynell walk through how to assess the past year, clarify what matters most, and build habits that work with your personality, not against it.
They share personal stories about health challenges, time management, movement, food as medicine, accountability, and why guilt-free growth is the key to long-term wellness. Whether you're craving more energy, clarity, balance, or joy, this episode offers practical tools to help you move forward so you can have your best year yet.
