from Mandy on the Mountain · host Amanda H Shook, M.Ed.

What if the whole “New Year, New Me” thing… just ain’t it?In this Appalachian, laugh-out-loud anti-resolution special, Mandy on the Mountain lays out everything she is absolutely NOT doing in 2026, from becoming a morning person to decoding teenager slang like “67.”If you know Mandy, you know she’s stubborn as a mule, and ain’t nobody ever made her do anything she didn’t want to do.So this year?She’s declaring her independence from pressure, perfection, and performative New Year rituals.This episode is equal parts comedy, storytelling, healing, and holler-deep truth:• why January is NOT “new me” season• why the New Year should really start in spring• the gym membership she donates to but never uses• becoming a “morning person” (absolutely not)• planners that require a master’s degree to understand• 75 Hard? 30 Day challenges? Cold plunges? No, ma’am• staying soft, barefoot, grounded, and Appalachian• fixing what she didn’t break (she’s done with that)• refusing to shrink to make other people comfortable• the Walmart bread aisle meltdown sermon• the Eat Pray Love “Appalachian Julia Roberts” healing era• Marilyn Monroe, body image, and “meat with your taters” wisdom• beef tallow loyalty• AND the unhinged math-teacher rant about why teenagers keep saying “67”If you’re tired of reinventing yourself every January…if resolutions make you feel like you’re failing before you even begin…or if you just want some mountain-woman honesty with your coffee —welcome home.Sit down and stay awhile.✨ New Year, Same Me, just with better boundaries, deeper peace, and a whole lot more humor.
