Many people struggle with New Year’s resolutions - not because they lack discipline, but because the change is driven by pressure. When goals come from self-criticism or the feeling that something needs fixing, motivation fades and resistance builds. In this episode, you’re invited to explore why New Year’s resolutions fail from an energetic perspective. Instead of pushing harder, this conversation looks at how the energy behind your intention determines whether change lasts or collapses.

You’ll hear why force creates inner backlash, how the pendulum effect keeps repeating old patterns, and why self-love --not willpower - creates sustainable change. When goals come from care rather than control, habits feel more natural, balanced, and easier to maintain over time.

Why does loving yourself feel so hard - even when you’re really trying?

If affirmations, mindset work, and self-improvement haven’t created real self-love, this episode explains why. Especially around the holidays, comparison with images of perfect families and harmony can quietly turn into self-judgment — and slowly erode your sense of worth.

In this episode, you’ll hear why self-love cannot be created through the mind, what actually shifts when awareness moves into the heart, and how self-love becomes unconditional when you stop trying to earn it.
