What’s Your Story, Jaime & Stan? Be a goldfish in 2026 and raise your life by 0.25

In this reflective and refreshingly real episode, Jaime Marco and her dad Stan Brown kick off 2026 with humor, honesty, and a healthy dose of perspective. From why New Year’s resolutions rarely stick, to the power of daily micro-intentions, this father-daughter duo explores how showing up just slightly better each day can lead to massive change. With stories of travel, books, bad days, goldfish memories, and a few laugh-out-loud moments, this episode is a reminder that life isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress, presence, and being real (not reel).KEY TOPICS COVEREDWhy New Year’s resolutions don’t work (and what to do instead)Setting daily intentions instead of massive goalsThe power of micro-moves: raising your “number” by just 0.25Social media, comparison, and protecting mental healthBeing real vs. living life on a reelGratitude, resilience, and allowing space for bad daysTravel plans, book launches, and unfunking the worldWhy everyone has a story worth sharingThe goldfish mindset: letting go and moving forwardMEMORABLE QUOTES“Just take one day at a time.
