Listen "Why New Year’s Resolutions Fail (And How to Make Them Work)"
Episode Synopsis
New Year, same old resolutions? In this thought-provoking episode, Lina dives deep into the psychology behind New Year’s resolutions and why so many of them fizzle out before spring. From the importance of understanding your “why” to the critical role of psychological readiness, Lina shares insights on setting goals that stick.
Explore the connection between motivation, sustainable change, and January’s Capricorn energy—marked by ambition and responsibility—that shapes our mindsets as we kick off the year.
With reflections on personal growth (hello, Saturn Return!) and even a nod to Ariana Grande’s recent transformation-themed album, eternal sunshine, this episode will leave you inspired to create resolutions that truly align with your desires—and to finally say goodbye to goal-setting guilt.
Tune in for practical advice, a sprinkle of astrology, and plenty of motivation to start your year off right!
Trivia Questions:

Q2: What percentage of Americans make new year’s resolutions?
Q3: Which is the ruling planet of Capricorn?
