Listen "New Year Intentions, Old Patterns"
Episode Synopsis
As the new year begins, many people set intentions, resolutions, and goals — but just as quickly, abandon them. In this episode, we have an honest conversation about why New Year’s resolutions often fail, how habits really change, and what accountability looks like in real life, especially as parents.We discuss topics like Dry January, gym goals, parenting habits that impact children, and how to approach the new year with realistic expectations. We also address the public conversation surrounding Pastor Jamal Bryant and the scrutiny around standards, leadership, and accountability, tying it back to how intention without awareness can miss the mark.00:01 – Dry January: Resetting Habits at the Start of the New Year01:51 – Alcohol Alternatives and Health-Conscious Choices03:30 – Why New Year’s Resolutions Do and Don’t Work09:31 – Why People Don’t Change Until Something Forces Them To11:09 – How Parents’ Habits Affect Their Children13:20 – Gym Resolutions and Unrealistic Fitness Goals13:58 – Why You Shouldn’t Commit to Goals That Aren’t Realistic for You16:57 – How to Start the New Year Intentionally With Your Kids19:22 – The Role of the Matriarch in Family Leadership19:45 – Setting Personal Goals for the New Year20:50 – Pastor Jamal Bryant, Public Standards, and Accountability🎙️ Real Talk.
