98. Why New Year’s Resolutions Keep Smart Women Stuck (And What to Do Instead)
About this episode
New Year’s resolutions often keep smart women stuck because they’re built on the belief that you must “fix yourself” before you’re allowed to feel confident or start living. In this episode, Holly Toscanini explains why waiting mode isn’t laziness—it’s a self-protection strategy—and shares what to do instead: replace resolutions with standards, build self-trust through small decisions, and create real momentum without pressure or perfectionism.
