Why Resolutions Don’t Stick (And What You Can Do About It)

Описание: Work with us 1:1 through coaching: https://fiveyearyou.com/coaching/

Why do New Year’s resolutions fail so quickly — even when we really want to change?

In this episode, Andrew and Cat break down why most resolutions don’t stick, why it’s not a personal failure, and what actually works if you want real, sustainable change. This conversation focuses on how your brain, nervous system, and habits really work — and how to build change without shame, burnout, or perfectionism.

If you’ve ever felt discouraged by starting over, this episode is for you.

What we talk about in this episode:
• Why resolutions are often set up to fail
• Why going too big too fast overwhelms the nervous system
• The difference between shame-based goals and identity-based habits
• Why motivation doesn’t come first — action does
• Why systems matter more than willpower
• How to plan for real life, not perfect days
• Why rest and flexibility are part of consistency

Helpful reminders:
• You’re not broken — the system is
• Missing a day doesn’t mean you failed
• Small steps build momentum
• Progress doesn’t require perfection
• One tiny habit can change everything over time

Glimmers from this episode:
Andrew and Cat share gratitude, connection, and the joy of getting to be together after time apart.
