January Workshop: Why You Don’t Stick to Resolutions (and It’s Not a Willpower Problem)

Every January, we’re told this is the moment to get serious.

✔️ New goals.
✔️ New habits.
✔️ A fresh start.

And for a lot of thoughtful, self-aware women, that message lands with a mix of hope and quiet dread.

Because you want things to change.
You care deeply.
And you’ve already tried—more than once.

If resolutions don’t stick, it’s easy to assume something is wrong with you.

This workshop exists to name a different truth.

For many women, the issue isn’t willpower at all. It’s self-trust and a nervous system that learned it wasn’t safe to keep pushing.

This workshop is for you if:

  • You start strong, then lose momentum and don’t fully understand why

  • You’re self-aware, but insight hasn’t translated into follow-through

  • You’ve made the same resolution more than once—and felt discouraged when it didn’t last

  • You’re tired of blaming yourself for patterns that feel bigger than effort

  • You want change that feels steady and supportive, not punishing

You don’t need another plan. You just need clarity about what’s actually happening.

What we’ll explore

In this live workshop, we’ll gently unpack:

  • Why willpower and discipline aren’t reliable explanations for follow-through

  • How self-trust quietly erodes over time (often through burnout and overextension)

  • Why procrastination, hesitation, and resistance are usually forms of protection

  • What your nervous system is actually responding to when goals feel heavy

  • A different way to approach change that doesn’t require forcing yourself

This is not a productivity talk, and you won’t be asked to set goals or commit to anything.

You won’t leave feeling “motivated,” you’ll leave feeling relieved.

Relieved to understand yourself better.
Relieved to stop treating self-trust like a character flaw.
Relieved to know there’s another way forward.

Clarity first. Action later, if and when it feels safe.

Workshop details

  • Live, virtual workshop

If you’re quietly wondering why this keeps happening—You’re not broken.

This workshop is a place to slow down, make sense of what’s been going on, and begin again, gently.
