EP 176 \ The Only New Year's Resolution You Need In 2026 (Isn't A Resolution At All)

SHOW NOTES: As the year comes to a close, the pressure to “do more” in January gets louder. Gym memberships, restrictive diets, and 30-day resets promise transformation but often leave women exhausted and discouraged by February. In this final episode of the year, Lori invites you into a different way forward. Instead of chasing another resolution, what if the only thing you committed to this year was faithful stewardship of your body, supported by wisdom and community? In this episode, we talk about: Why most New Year’s resolutions fail at the rootWhy God designed healing and growth to happen in community, not isolationHow sustainable health comes from long-term stewardship, not quick fixes This episode reframes health through a biblical lens and introduces Verity Village and coaching as a grounded, grace-filled alternative to the January wellness frenzy.
