The REAL New Year!

from Still Figuring It Out · host Joel VanMersbergen, Sara Nelson

January resolutions don't work because you make them from a place of chaos. Fall is different — the schedule kicks back in, the routines take shape, and whoever you're becoming right now is who you'll be by June. Joel and Sara kick off a new series making the case that fall is the real new year, and that the question worth asking isn't "what do I want to accomplish?" but "who do I want to become?" Also: big rocks, shallow soundings, a monk who wouldn't talk, and the Randy Johnson seagull incident.
