It’s the beginning of December, and every feed is telling you to end the year strong, set your New Year’s resolutions, and start “crushing” next year’s goals right now. If that makes you feel behind, pressured, or secretly irritated, this episode is for you.
Blaze gently calls out the myth of the New Year sprint: the idea that you should be sprinting toward self-improvement, comparing your life to everyone else’s, and fixing everything by January 1st. Together, we unpack how this constant push to achieve more fuels burnout, comparisonitis, and overspending… and why it’s especially misaligned with the natural energy of winter.
Instead of forcing yourself into a high-pressure “fresh start,” Blaze invites you to experiment with a slow start to the new year. You’ll explore how to use December as a season of calm, reflection, and gentle dreaming: gathering ideas, noticing how you actually want to feel next year, and preparing your energy rather than draining it. We’ll talk about minimal-effort holidays, low-pressure intentions, and how to build goals around your true nature, not around marketing.
If you’ve ever felt like resolutions set you up to fail, this episode gives you permission to do it differently: softer, wiser, and more in tune with your own rhythm.
