It's "Just Fine January" and I hit reset by canceling most of my goals.

from "You Are A Lot" (an ADHD/AuDHD podcast) · host Jen Kirkman

This January I'm not making resolutions, I'm making space in my life. In this episode, I talk about what happened when I realized my 2025 ideas weren't sustainable, why I canceled projects I'd been grinding on for months, how I'm re-thinking my goal-setting and as an AuDHD human, what I refuse to carry into 2026.
