Forget January: September Is the Perfect Time for a Reset

Is September actually a better time to reset your life and goals than January? This week on the SpaHive Podcast, Julie and MaryAnn are officially entering September… although they definitely do not agree on whether summer is actually over. They’re giving summer a report card, sharing their best decisions and most ridiculous moments, debating early sunsets, talking planners, Tai Chi walking, cottage cheese cookies and somehow eventually making their way to the psychology behind the “Fresh Start Effect.” With four months left in the year, this episode isn’t about cramming in every goal you made in January. It’s about deciding what still matters, letting go of what doesn’t, and choosing one manageable thing you’d genuinely feel good about accomplishing before December 31. Because maybe September—not January—is the fresh start we actually need. Listen for a funny, honest conversation about goal setting, productivity, seasonal resets, work, life and figuring out what deserves your energy in the final months of the year.
