January is supposed to feel like a fresh start. For many women, it feels like the breaking point.

In this unfiltered and unscripted episode, Coach Jen and I talk about why New Year’s resolutions fall apart so quickly and why trying to do more only leads to burnout, frustration, and quitting.

We break down why women come into January already exhausted, why extreme plans backfire, and why trying to live like you did in your 20s no longer works in this season of life.

In this episode, we cover:
• why January creates unrealistic pressure
• why doing more workouts and eating less is not the answer
• the difference between competence and confidence
• how all-or-nothing thinking keeps women stuck
• what actually creates momentum without burnout

🎧 Press play if January has already made you feel overwhelmed, behind, or like you are failing because you are not.
