New Year’s resolutions often come with societal pressure to transform, but if you’re recovering from emotional abuse, they can feel overwhelming and triggering. In this episode, I share why it’s okay to step away from the noise and focus on what you truly need to move forward.

In this episode:

  • Why “New Year, New You” narratives can feel impossible when healing from abuse.
  • The power of personal promises to yourself instead of rigid resolutions.
  • Practical strategies for creating calm and nurturing self-trust amidst chaos.

If the New Year feels like more pressure than possibility, you’re not alone. This episode offers insights to help you reclaim your sense of self and create space for meaningful healing—on your own terms.
