It’s a new year! Are we new people? Absolutely not.
In this episode, we’re kicking off another year the only way we know how: by rejecting “new year, new me,” ignoring resolutions, and accepting that we are simply carrying the same personalities and problems straight into January.
We chat about the weird pressure to reinvent yourself overnight, why we don’t do goals that make us miserable, and how January somehow feels about 6494302 days long. There’s no 5am routines here, no life glow-ups – just two small business owners easing into the year, lowering expectations, and embracing another 12 months of mild chaos.
If you’re already tired, haven’t set resolutions or are simply vibing at the same level as last year – welcome. You’re among friends.
