S3E1: Stop Making Resolutions - Do These 3 Things Instead

Happy 2026! Welcome to Season 3 of Glitter, Grit, and Growth! In the first episode of the new season, we make a bold statement: it’s time to stop making New Year’s resolutions, and to start doing three, impactful things instead. Spoiler alert: those three things are 1) pause, 2) create a vision board, and 3) identify your word of the year.This podcast is for you if you believe that:● Embracing a growth mindset and being brave enough to suck at something new is a must.● Fear should be acknowledged but shouldn’t stop you from doing epic shit!● It should be a “No” unless it’s a “Hell Yes!”● There’s more than enough for everyone.● Your energy will tell you where to go next. Listen and trust the process.● People are so much more than titles and the boxes others put them in.Follow ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Shelley on LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jill on LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Glitter, Grit, and Growth on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Glitter, Grit, and Growth on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit our website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.GlitterGritAndGrowth.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy us a coffee at:www.BuyMeACoffee.com/GlitterGritandGrowthSpecial thanks to the amazing musician featured on our podcast, Brandi Harvey.
