It’s the new year and with that comes the chatter around goals, resolutions, and making big change in your life.

I don’t know about you, but the “new year, new you” vibe doesn’t resonate with me like it used to. In fact, I think it’s a bunch of bullshit blocking us from one of the most powerful energies for change out there: self-acceptance.

In this episode, I’m chatting with dietitian Kim Tasker, about what self-acceptance means and how it helps to expand who we are as a person, so we can stop chasing the unrealistic expectations we place on ourselves.

Some things we unpack in the episode:

The impact of perfectionism, fear, and judgment on your goals and how it leads to a forced, rigid mindset.

What self-acceptance actually means (hint hint..it doesn’t mean giving up on yourself).

The connection between extreme goals and overcompensating for areas of your life where you feel lack.

How the nervous system and chronic stress influence goal setting.

I hope this episode is a loving reminder that you don’t have to become a totally new person this year – the person you are is already enough.
