New Year, Same You (Why Resolutions Are a Scam)New Year's resolutions aren't about transformation – they're a manufactured ritual designed to make you feel insufficient while profiting from your predictable failure.In this episode, Hema and Mike expose how we've turned January 1st into a collective delusion where millions of people believe the calendar flipping gives them magical powers to change. You make your list, declare "new year, new me," commit to the gym and the journal and the habit – and by February, you're right back where you started. But here's the truth: nothing changes between December 31st at 11:59pm and January 1st at 12:01am except our perception. Yet we treat crossing into a new year like it's a factory reset button.In this episode, you'll discover:Who actually profits from your resolutions (gyms, diet industry, and businesses that need you to fail)Why resolutions fail: based on willpower (finite), focused on outcomes not systems, rooted in "should" not "want," attacking symptoms not root causesThe missing "why": are you changing for you, or for the idea of who you think you should be?Why you're trying to change behavior without changing belief (if you believe you're lazy, no gym resolution will stick)Why we're always waiting for January 1st instead of starting October 17th or next TuesdayWhat actually creates sustainable change: internal motivation, small incremental shifts, self-compassion not self-criticismThe alternative to resolutions: one meaningful thing, built as a system not a goal, made ridiculously easy to startFrom "new year, new you" marketing to the fantasy that you can become someone new just because the calendar changed, we break down why resolutions are rooted in self-rejection instead of self-acceptance, and why real transformation doesn't wait for the calendar to give you permission.Ready to disrupt the resolution default? Tune in now.Perfect for: Anyone who's already abandoned their 2026 resolutions, making the same goals they made last year, waiting for the "right time" to change, performing self-improvement without addressing what's underneath, or ready to stop treating themselves like a project that needs fixing every January.
