Happy New Year, dearest and darlingest Listener!
This week on the podcast, we're talking about the difference between New Year's resolutions versus intentions. We're also talking about Emily's intentions and how we can expect the resistance (aka: embracing the suckage). We're also talking about how we can set realistic expectations for ourselves, how to stop overthinking and start doing, and how we can afford to let ourselves get a little weirder in the coming new year. Let's let the magic into our daily lives!
