## Resource

This year, we’re doing things differently. If you’ve ever felt behind before the year even starts... or sworn off resolutions completely because they never seem to stick — this episode is for you. In today’s episode, I'm walking you through a gentle, faith-filled approach to planning your year. Not one that piles on more pressure, but one that invites peace, presence, and God into the process. I’ll share how I’m vision-casting for 2026, the simple method that’s keeping me grounded, and how to break free from the all-or-nothing spiral so many of us fall into come January. In this episode:• the real reason most new year goals don’t work (and how to change that)• how to create a God-centered vision you’ll actually carry through the year• my favorite framework for building rhythms that last• how to stop making goals from a place of shame or striving• choosing a word, verse, and vision statement with meaning JOY FILLED MOTHERS CLUB Joy For The Journey: a free 3 day devotional for moms in the trenches Connect with Jenna on Instagram: @jennamariegriffith
