Yeah, we’re not doing that this year. In this episode, Dee and Dr. DJ break down why New Year’s resolutions so often crash and burn, and why that doesn’t mean you failed. We unpack the psychology behind quitting, how shame sneaks into goal-setting, and why the popular “21-day habit” rule is more myth than motivation. Instead of rigid resolutions and productivity guilt, we explore intentional goal-setting, realistic change, and the importance of celebrating small wins (yes, they count). This is a conversation about embracing failure as part of growth, decoupling self-worth from productivity, and choosing goals that actually fit your life — not an idealized version of yourself. If you’ve ever felt discouraged by resolutions, burned out by “SMART goals,” or stuck in an all-or-nothing mindset, this episode is for you. ✨ Topics we cover: Why most New Year’s resolutions fail The role of shame and guilt in quitting Why the 21-day habit myth misses the point Intentions vs. resolutions Celebrating progress without tying worth to productivity Why failure is part of growth, not proof you’re broken 🎧 New episodes of Let’s Pick This Up Next Week drop regularly.
