Tired of Resolutions? Why Choosing a Word of the Year Works Better for Moms( 70)

Do New Year’s resolutions already make your shoulders tense up? Have you ever made goals in January that felt exciting at first… and then quietly disappeared by February? Do you ever think, “I don’t actually need more goals — I just don’t want to keep feeling this way”?   In this episode, we’re talking about why New Year’s resolutions don’t work for overwhelmed working moms — and what to do instead. I share why resolutions assume a predictable life (and why that doesn’t match motherhood), how choosing one Word of the Year can bring clarity without pressure, and how a single word can become an anchor you return to when your days don’t go as planned. You’ll hear my personal story of using words like action, presence, and commit through weight loss, business growth, and family life — and how a word supports who you already are instead of asking you to become a “new you.” This episode is for you if you’re tired of starting over every January and want a steadier, more supportive way to move into the year ahead. I f the thought of January already makes your shoulders tense, this episode is for you. We’re talking about five small shifts that help your days feel less stressful and more doable, without trying to become a “new you” or overhaul your whole life. I walk you through how to start with the part of your day that throws everything off, why fixing everything at once never works, and how one tiny tweak can change how the rest of the day feels — just like it did for Ashley.
