Why New Year’s Resolutions Are Hurting You (And What to Do Instead)

New Year’s resolutions often sound motivating—but they can quietly damage your relationship with yourself.

In this episode, Kory offers a gentler, more sustainable way to set goals—one that prioritizes wellbeing over self-criticism. Using the A Well Cared For Human framework, she walks through how to align your goals with your body, mind, spirit, and relationships, while paying close attention to the thoughts, language, and actions that shape how growth actually feels.

This episode explores:

• Why results-based goals can harm your mental health

• How to replace self-judgment with compassion

• A practical framework for setting supportive, realistic intentions

• Why the action itself—not the outcome—is the real win
