F*ck New Year's Resolutions
from Combative Calm · host Sarai Speer
End-of-year burnout, grief, and nervous system overload??? You’re NOT alone. This episode is a raw reflection on surviving 2025 without glamorizing it: no resolutions, forced reinvention, or no Instagram highlight-reel bullshit. We talk about invisible grief, perfectionism pressure, comparison, and the emotional hangover of a challenging year. Why your nervous system reacts to “new year, new you” messaging like a threat, how survival mode shows up in the body, and what it means to enter 2026 without performing joy. Includes one daily nervous system ritual for gentle regulation, plus real talk on curiosity, rest, and identity-based growth for the Year of the Horse.
