Fred Again, Staying Present, and Why You Don’t Need the New Year to Reset

from Note 2 Self · host Saskia Starck

In this episode of Note 2 Self, Saskia reflects on seeing Fred Again live in New York during his residency and why the night felt less like a concert and more like a spiritual experience. She explores how great DJs read and channel energy, why live music creates such deep presence and connection, and what happens when we allow ourselves to fully experience a moment instead of trying to capture it. From there, Saskia dives into the dreaded New Year’s resolutions. The pressure, the overwhelm, and the belief that January 1st is the only time we’re allowed to reset. She unpacks why resolutions can feel so heavy, how easy it is to feel like you’ve already failed, and why meaningful change is often found in listening to your body and making small, tangible daily shifts rather than rigid rules.Touching on health, movement, alcohol, food, and goal-setting, this episode is a reminder that progress doesn’t require perfection... and starting over doesn’t need a calendar date.
