The BEST Way to Start 2026

In this episode, Kylie Larson talks about the real energy of the new year—after the hype fades and real life kicks back in. She explores why big, rigid goals often backfire and why simplicity, sustainability, and self-honesty matter more than motivation ever will. This conversation is about adjusting expectations, building habits you can actually keep, and letting progress be imperfect (and still powerful). If you’re tired of doing the most and ready to do what actually works—with more compassion and a lot less pressure—this episode is for you.Chapters00:00 New Year, New Beginnings02:53 Finding Balance in January06:13 Setting Realistic Goals09:02 The Importance of Tracking Progress14:10 Embracing the Journey of Change17:06 Adjusting Expectations and Goals20:05 The Importance of Consistency and Mindset22:57 Navigating Maintenance and Long-term Success
