Every January, women are sold a story of reinvention — New Year, New Me.

But Jess argues the real issue isn’t the resolutions themselves (even though they don't typically work) — it’s the mindset beneath them.

In this episode, Jess breaks down why resolutions tend to fail (and it's not for the reasons you might think).

Jess also shares her own holiday story — gratitude, indulgence, and a 2-hour workout rooted in punishment — and the mindset shift she chose to make this year after some deep self-reflection.

In this episode, we'll cover:

1) Why New Year Resolutions almost always fail 

2) Why women should focus on foundations over lofty goals and the important distinction between the two.

3) How to filter goals through self-respect rather than shame

4) Why we should actually slow down in January and go against the sense of urgency and the "start over" mentality supported by society

5) Six strategies/foundations to employ this January that will actually work and lead to the outcomes you likely want.
