As the year kicks off, a lot of people are thinking about how to reset. Not just work goals, but how they actually feel day to day. More focused. Less reactive. Less drained by the middle of the week.

In this episode, Richard Farmer sits down with wellness and energy coach Elika to talk about what really helps when you’re starting a new year already feeling stretched. They explore why meditation doesn’t work for everyone, how breathwork can be a practical way to calm a busy nervous system, and why rushing into big plans often adds more pressure than progress.

They also talk about energy beyond the physical. How beliefs shape behaviour, why leaders set the tone through how they show up, and what it actually looks like to start the year in a way that’s sustainable, not exhausting.
