About this listen
A new year often feels like a blank page, but if setting goals feels good, why do so many resolutions fade so quickly?
In this episode of Blank Pages, we take a deeper look at New Year’s resolutions and why they so often fall apart. We explore the psychology and biology behind goal-setting, from the dopamine boost of making plans to the “all-or-nothing” thinking that sets us up to quit. Along the way, we talk about identity, habits, values, and why lasting change has less to do with willpower and more to do with who you’re becoming.
Rather than offering quick fixes, this conversation invites reflection, patience, and a more intentional way of approaching the year ahead. If you’ve ever felt discouraged by goals that didn’t stick, this episode offers a new way to think about turning the page.
