Most people start the year convinced this time will be different. And then somewhere around mid-January, motivation fades, routines slip, and goals quietly fall away, a moment often referred to as Quitter’s Day. In this episode of the 52 Weeks Podcast, goal-setting and courage coach Telana Simpson explains why goals don’t fail because of laziness or lack of discipline, but because they’re unclear, borrowed, or disconnected from a deeper intention. She shares how reflection, clarity, and turning lessons into simple personal guidelines can help goals last well beyond January and become meaningful, sustainable change.Here is a free workbook to guide you through this powerful exercise:https://www.innercoaching.co.za/review/
