Why Your New Years Resolutions Suck.

New Year, same unrealistic resolutions? Zoë and Kylee dive into the science, myths, and psychology behind habit formation — and why your January goals are destined to flop without a game plan. From ancient Babylonian promises to modern-day Quitters Day, we unpack the history of resolutions, the cognitive biases that sabotage them, and why you can’t willpower your way into a better life. Spoiler: it’s not about losing 20 pounds in 4 weeks or cutting out sugar forever.

Instead, we explore what does work. Learn why SMART goals aren’t just a corporate buzzword and how to set resolutions that actually stick (hint: be specific, not perfect). Whether you’re deep in the cult of optimization or just trying to make it to February with your sanity intact, this episode will help you build habits that last longer than a TikTok trend.
