New Year’s resolutions? Hard pass.

In this solo episode of Who Let Me Do This?, Saidee explains why she hates New Year’s resolutions, why they’re setting moms up to fail, and what to do instead if you actually want change that sticks. From unrealistic expectations around fitness, sleep, money, and parenting — to the pressure women feel every January to “fix themselves” — this episode is a funny, honest takedown of hustle culture disguised as self-improvement.

Instead of resolutions, Saidee makes the case for small, realistic habits, flexible goals, boundaries, and grace — especially for working moms in the most exhausting season of life. If you’ve already “failed” your New Year’s goals, this episode is your permission slip to start again… or not start at all.
