It’s a week into 2025, and I hope you’re reading this with excitement about what lies ahead. But if 2024 left you feeling disappointed and wondering what went wrong, you’re in the right place.
2024 was tough for a lot of women I’ve talked to. The economy felt unpredictable, the election year was stressful, and there was a general sense of instability. If you’re a woman striving for success while juggling life at home and still trying to find time for yourself, I get it. It’s a lot to navigate and it makes sense that you might be feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or anxious.
But here you are, with a clean slate, a fresh start, and a new calendar ready for you to make it your own.
I’m here today to tell you that 2025 doesn’t have to be a repeat of last year! It’s time to stop setting goals that fizzle out before the end of January and start making real, lasting changes.
Think about this: how many times have you promised yourself you’d finally figure out how to stand your ground, ask for what you need, and prioritize your well-being—only to watch it fall apart weeks later?
It's not just you and it’s never too late. Whether you’re reading this in January or August, today is the day to make it happen.
Why Do You Keep Quitting on Yourself?
Are you tired of starting strong, feeling motivated, and then watching your goals slip away, leaving you frustrated and stuck doing the same things, expecting different results? It’s not a you problem. So many ambitious women get caught in cycles that sabotage their progress.
The first step to breaking the cycle is recognizing these traps and I’m here to help you do it.
Here are a few patterns that might be keeping you stuck:
The All-or-Nothing Mindset
Have you ever thought, “If I can’t do it right" or "If I'm not the best, it’s not worth doing”? Maybe you promised yourself to go to the gym six days a week, but after missing one workout, you felt like you’d failed then it all fell apart. Perfection doesn’t create progress, small, consistent steps do.
No One to Hold You Accountable
Staying motivated on your own is tough. Without someone cheering you on, reminding you of your goals, or calling you out when you’re slipping, it’s easy to fall back into old habits. Accountability is key to keeping you focused and moving forward, even when it’s hard.
Relying on Willpower and Motivation
You might believe that if you just push through with enough willpower and motivation, you’ll make it. But let’s be honest, willpower and motivation alone won’t help you through discomfort, especially when change feels vulnerable and difficult. Lasting change needs more than willpower or motivation, it requires strategy, mindset, and support.
The Truth About Change
Change is sometimes hard. It’s uncomfortable. Your brain wants to stay in the familiar past, even if it’s not working for you or what you want. But lasting change isn’t about feeling more motivated or having more willpower. It’s about creating a strategy and mindset that work for YOU. It takes determination, small steps, and frequent celebrations along the way. And most importantly, it requires you to step out of your comfort zone, take risks, and make mistakes without letting them stop or define you.
How to Make Changes That Last
Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable: Change feels awkward at first, and that’s okay. If it feels challenging, it means you’re growing. Expect discomfort and keep going.
Set Realistic Goals: Forget trying to overhaul your entire life in a month; that’s a recipe for overwhelm and burnout. Focus on one or two small, achievable goals at a time and build from there.
Find Your Person: Whether it’s a friend, partner, or coach, having someone in your corner who can hold you accountable and cheer you on is game-changing.
Progress Over Perfection: Celebrate small wins, and don’t let setbacks throw you off track. Learn from mistakes and adjust, but don’t give up. Use setbacks to learn and move forward.
Prioritize Self-Care: You can’t pour from an empty cup. It sounds cliché, but it’s true. Regular self-care is essential, whether it’s taking a walk, practicing mindfulness, or simply taking time to do something you love.
Why Coaching Can Be the Game-Changer
Clarity: You’ll get crystal clear on what you want, why it matters to you, and how to take intentional and meaningful steps toward your goals.
Accountability: With regular check-ins and personalized support, you’ll stay on track and keep moving forward, even when you feel anxious or uncomfortable.
Skills That Stick: Learn how to manage stress, set boundaries, and communicate effectively in real-time, so you’re not just making changes, you’re actively building new habits and beliefs.
Customized Strategies: Your goals are unique to you, and so is your journey. We’ll create a plan tailored specifically to your life and your challenges.
