After the Confetti Settles

Episode 105: “After the Confetti Settles” The first week of January often brings a quiet shift: the excitement fades, routines return, and doubts creep in. In this episode of Staying Power, JDK and Ashley explore what actually sustains change once novelty wears off. Drawing on neuroscience, behavioral psychology, and ancient wisdom, they unpack why motivation is unreliable — and what works instead. This episode helps listeners normalize the dip, reframe it as progress (not failure), and learn how to stay engaged with their intentions in a grounded, compassionate way.
