Nearly 50% of Americans make New Year’s resolutions — and yet, most abandon them within weeks. So what actually works when it comes to change?
In our first episode of the year, we sit down with Sarah Schmidt, psychologist, mindset coach, mom, and host of the Wholly Schmidt podcast, for a powerful conversation about resetting from the inside out.
We talk about:

-Why becoming comfortable with discomfort is often the key to transformation
-How small shifts can lead to meaningful transformation
-Parenting with intention and raising strong, resilient kids
