In today’s first episode of the new year, we’re unpacking the three words that might make a huge difference to how we approach the year ahead.

This time of year can be heavy. With the slump of January, the bombardment of “new year, new me” messaging, and the pressure to be better, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or even stuck . . . 
 
That’s why we’re stripping things back to the essentials: a simple framework to navigate the chaos of life with a little more clarity and compassion.

We’re Covering:

  • How to recognize if you’re coming from fear versus love in your decisions
  • Sneaky ways fear can show up (like overthinking, perfectionism, and procrastination)
  • The neuroscience of why love opens doors to creativity and clarity (and fear doesn’t)
  • Practical ways to practice love-based thinking daily, like setting intentional goals
  • A simple mindset shift to get unstuck and move forward
  • Why compassion for yourself can be the best tool for progress
  • Today’s feelgood thing: Ruth’s simple yet brilliant way to boost your mood

If you’re navigating the messiness of adulthood, juggling new challenges, or just looking for a little extra light to start the year, this episode is for you (and make it to the end for the epilogue!).
