Today we have a chat about letting go of New Year's resolutions, self-acceptance, and the pressures of productivity, especially in midlife. We talk about our personal experiences with resolutions and when we let them go, the arbitrary nature of the New Year, and the importance of embracing change authentically. We remind each other and our listeners to recognize our worth without the compulsion to constantly improve or prove ourselves, especially during transitional periods like the New Year.
