91- Why New Year’s Resolutions Don’t Work — Motherhood Edition

If you’ve ever started a new year full of good intentions… only to feel behind before January is over — this episode is for you.Motherhood doesn’t pause so you can “start fresh,” and most New Year’s resolutions were never designed with moms in mind. In this episode, we unpack why resolutions so often fall apart in motherhood, how unrealistic expectations quietly fuel shame, and what actually supports growth in real life.We talk about:Why willpower and consistency don’t work the way we’ve been told they shouldThe expectation trap that sets moms up to feel like they’re failingRealistic vs. unrealistic expectations in this season of lifeThe powerful parallels between birth, motherhood, and flexibilityWhat to focus on instead of resolutionsThis isn’t about doing more or fixing yourself. It’s about honoring your capacity, releasing pressure, and setting expectations that fit your real life — not a highlight reel.If the new year already feels heavy, let this episode be a deep exhale. 🤍IMPORTANT LINKS: Apply to be a GUEST on the podcastBirth Planning SessionCoaching ProgramWaitlist for Childbirth Education Course FREE VBAC GAME PLAN Link to AUTOGRAPHED Postpartum book Send me a text if you have episode request.
