EP 460 - Why New Year’s Resolutions Fail and What Actually Works

January 23, 2026·17 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Every January, we promise ourselves that this year will be different. We set big goals, feel a surge of motivation and then quietly slip back into old patterns. If you’ve ever felt discouraged by broken New Year’s resolutions, this episode is for you.   In this conversation, we unpack why resolutions so often fail, not because of laziness or lack of discipline, but because of how they’re designed. We explore the emotional weight we attach to “fresh starts,” the pressure of perfection, and the hidden reasons change feels so hard to sustain.   More importantly, we talk about what actually works instead like gentler, more honest ways to grow that don’t rely on guilt, willpower, or becoming a “new you” overnight. This episode is an invitation to rethink success, redefine progress, and build change that feels aligned with your real life, not an idealized version of it.   xoxo,    Jeannet    Work with Jeannet:   Apply for one on one private coaching: https://forms.gle/bwoTL8HCUDPmM1LY8 Get my FREE workbook to help you identify the skills you can monetize with an online business: https://www.jeannetsacks.com/monetizeskills Coaching Business Workshop: This Workshop is designed to take you from newbie to launching your own Online Coaching Business or restructure your current Coaching Program so it starts making you money.
