    Are you ready to make 2025 your best year yet? This episode is here to help. It's time to ditch rigid New Year's resolutions - let's focus on setting meaningful goals, choosing empowering words, and embracing inspiration mantras instead. In 2024, I embarked on a personal journey of growth. Instead of setting a resolution, I set specific goals and chose the word “Growth” to represent what I wanted out of the year. This decision fueled my journey to stay consistent in my goals, including writing my book, The Overthinker's Guide to Joy: A Handbook for Overachievers, People-Pleasers, and Perfectionists. This year, I'm pairing the word “Calm” with the mantra “Calm is a superpower” to reshape my mindset and actions. In this episode, I'll share the lessons I've already learned using “Calm”, the power of affirmations, and how you can use a single word or mantra to bring focus, clarity, and intention to your year.

    Why is it that we're often our own harshest critics? Why are we harder on ourselves for mistakes, we would easily forgive others for? I know I've experienced self-criticism, especially when it comes to perfectionism. Society expects us to always do well and emphasises achievement. We're told to work hard and be resilient. Social media fuels this by setting unrealistic standards we've all seen and come accustomed to but are still vulnerable to. Perfectionism, the inner critic, and the fear of judgment can also play a psychological part of self-criticism. Luckily, cultivating self-compassion and reframing negative thoughts can combat self-criticism. In this episode, I'll discuss various tried-and-true practical strategies for living a more joyful, self-compassionate life.
