But Why Don’t Resolutions Work? | Goal Setting, Burnout & Being Kinder to Ourselves
It’s our holiday party and we’re breaking down the science (and the BS) of New Year’s resolutions — all while sipping wine, comparing tattoos, and trying not to set anything on fire. In this festive-but-serious episode, Kristin and Laura explore:• Why so many resolutions fall apart by February• How to make goals that actually work for you• The psychology behind outcome, process, and open goals• What neurodivergence, shame, and survival mode have to do with “laziness”• Why self-acceptance — not pressure — is the key to real change It’s part party, part pep talk, part therapy. Settle in with your weirdest wine glass, grab a snack you love, and remember: you’re not lazy. You’re tired, human, and trying your best. Socials: https://linktr.ee/butwhy.pod
