New Year, Same You — Coming Home to Yourself with Sam Beretta

Every January carries a quiet pressure to become someone new. New habits, new goals, new identity. But for women living the touring life — holding families together, adapting to constant change, and carrying emotional weight behind the scenes — the New Year can feel less like a fresh start and more like another expectation to hold.

In this episode of Offstage and On Duty, we sit down with licensed therapist Sam Beretta to gently unpack the emotional weight of “New Year, New Me.” Why does January feel so loud? Why does reinvention feel so tempting? And why do so many women end up feeling behind before the year even begins?

Together, we explore identity in the touring lifestyle — how months of flexibility, caregiving, and emotional transition can leave your own desires feeling blurry. We talk about quiet exhaustion and why real growth doesn’t come from self-rejection, but from compassion and reconnection.

If this year brings anything new, we hope it brings you back to yourself — not as a project to fix, but as a person worthy of care, softness, and support.
