Episode 80: The Ripple Effect - Why Small Habits Beat Big New Year Resolutions

In this New Year episode, Ruth reflects on why traditional New Year resolutions so often fail and what actually works instead.She explores why intensity, restriction, and chasing perfection rarely survive real life, and introduces the Ripple Effect. A way of building small, sustainable habits that make everything else easier.Ruth shares personal examples, client stories, and practical insights into keystone habits like sleep, morning movement, preparation, fueling well, and reflection. Habits that reduce friction, lower stress, and support progress long after January energy fades.This episode is about letting go of all or nothing thinking, focusing on behaviours rather than outcomes, and choosing habits that fit real life so change can last.
