                <description><![CDATA[<p>It’s February… so let’s be honest. How are those New Year’s resolutions really going?</p><p>If you’re still on track — amazing. If you’ve already fallen off? You’re not alone. In this episode, I share why traditional resolutions tend to fail and introduce a more sustainable approach I created called <strong>New Year’s Aspirations</strong> — a flexible, realistic, and results-driven way to set goals that actually evolve with you.</p><p>We’ll talk about: why most resolutions don’t stick, the psychology behind common goal-setting mistakes, how to create SMART, meaningful goals rooted in your “why”, why January 1st isn’t magical (and what to do instead), and practical strategies to stay consistent all year long</p><p>Because life changes — and your goals should be able to change with it. Progress isn’t about perfection. It’s about intention, adaptability, and momentum.</p><p>If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe to my podcast, or tell someone else about it, I would greatly appreciate it.

                <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;It’s February… so let’s be honest. How are those New Year’s resolutions really going?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you’re still on track — amazing. If you’ve already fallen off? You’re not alone. In this episode, I share why traditional resolutions tend to fail and introduce a more sustainable approach I created called &lt;strong&gt;New Year’s Aspirations&lt;/strong&gt; — a flexible, realistic, and results-driven way to set goals that actually evolve with you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We’ll talk about: why most resolutions don’t stick, the psychology behind common goal-setting mistakes, how to create SMART, meaningful goals rooted in your “why”, why January 1st isn’t magical (and what to do instead), and practical strategies to stay consistent all year long&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Because life changes — and your goals should be able to change with it. Progress isn’t about perfection. It’s about intention, adaptability, and momentum.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe to my podcast, or tell someone else about it, I would greatly appreciate it.

                <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;In this episode, I talk about what what to do if you are struggling to lose weight, but your calories are too low to keep dropping them. There is a process that will help you get back on track called a reverse diet. I also discuss my free virtual race I will be hosting the last week of October. The distance will be completely up to you and if you participate, you will get a free sticker! Why? Why not?
