Ep 14: Intentions Over Resolutions: Embracing Growth in 2025

Happy New Year, Sunseekers! We’re kicking off 2025 by talking about setting intentions rather than rigid resolutions. In this episode, we reflect on what truly matters to us as we enter this new chapter. We discuss the power of being intentional in our goals, honoring ourselves (even when it's hard), and finding ways to show up consistently without burning out. We also share how play can bring joy to our routines and how shifting our mindset from self-criticism to self-love can transform the way we approach our lives. Plus, I share some exciting news about my new journey in a master’s program for exercise science, and Meredith gives us insight into how she’s planning our podcast content to make each episode meaningful for all of you. Whether you’re looking for ways to stay motivated, reconnect with your goals, or simply feel seen and supported, this episode is for you. Let’s make 2025 a year of intentional, joyful growth—together!
