It’s a new year, which means culture is telling us it’s time to write resolutions. But hard refreshes aren’t for everyone. (We believe cold turkey is best served as a sandwich after Thanksgiving instead.) For some, however, this can be an ideal time to set intentions and plot paths for growth. So: What’s on the horizon for 2025, and what do we want to put into the universe?

This episode, we discuss our own goals and the process of setting thoughtful intentions. The new year should be a season for reflection, not restriction, and it’s important to remember that fresh starts can happen long after January has come and gone. But what goes into a strategic (or, SMART) goal? How can we organize our hopes and dreams around a central theme or word to guide our direction?

We discuss our process for new year goal-setting across all areas of life: work, family, hobbies, and personal growth. Whether you’re looking to embrace new opportunities or release old habits, we have a few practical tips to craft resolutions that inspire, empower, and stick.
