Most New Year’s resolutions fail, not because people lack motivation or discipline, but because they’re built on pressure, guilt, and unrealistic expectations instead of self-trust.
In this episode of Rock Your Comeback, Nichole Eaton explores what it really takes to create change that lasts. If you’ve ever felt excited about a new year only to burn out, lose momentum, or feel disappointed in yourself by February, this conversation will help you understand why and what to do differently.
This episode introduces The Self-Trust Reset, a powerful shift that helps you reclaim control over your year without rigidity, perfectionism, or hustle culture. Instead of setting goals that require you to abandon yourself, you’ll learn how to design intentions that align with your energy, values, and real life.
Nichole breaks down why most goal-setting advice doesn’t work, how internal authority and intuition play a key role in follow-through, and why sustainable self-care is the foundation of confidence, clarity, and long-term success.
Whether your goals involve personal growth, better relationships, improved mental health, more confidence, or financial expansion, this episode will help you build them from a place of trust instead of force.
