SHE BREAKS THE RULES

EP #42: Reflect to Project: Turn What 2025 Taught You into 2026 Growth

Faye Sheridan & Tarryn Williams Season 1 Episode 42

New year, same pressure?

In this first episode of 2026, we’re flipping the script on how you reflect on the year that’s been and how you actually set goals that stick.

If you’ve ever found yourself setting the same resolutions year after year (and falling off by February), this episode will show you how to do it differently. We talk about why most New Year goal setting fails, how to reflect without shame or guilt, and what it really takes to create health goals that are realistic, aligned with your values, and sustainable all year round.

This isn’t about “New Year, New Me.”
This is about self-trust, honest reflection, and creating habits that support who you truly want to become.

🎧 What We Cover:

  • Why typical New Year goal-setting doesn’t work (and how to break the cycle)
  • How to reflect on 2025 in a way that gives you clarity and direction (not just guilt)
  • The underrated power of small wins and “failures”
  • Habits to leave behind and ones to take into 2026
  • Self-talk, mindset, and identity shifts that make or break your progress
  • The problem with all-or-nothing thinking (and what to do instead)
  • How to create a roadmap that aligns with your values, not someone else’s rules

💭 Journal Prompts & Reflection Questions Mentioned:

✔️ What am I most proud of from 2025?
✔️ What habits drained me or felt forced?
✔️ When did I feel most connected to my health and body?
✔️ What expectations or beliefs am I ready to let go of?
✔️ Who do I want to become in 2026 and what needs to shift to support that?

Grab your journal, take some time, and reflect to project.
This episode will help you build momentum in 2026, not burn out by February!
