Perfect for: Divorced empty nesters tempted to "resolve" their way through discomfort, women tired of failed resolutions, anyone ready to approach their life as growth instead of a series of destinations to reach

What if New Year's resolutions are setting you up to fail? In this episode, Julie explores a different approach: growth over resolve.

Resolute means "firmly determined." Growth means "increasing in value, the process of developing." Which would you rather choose?

For divorced empty nesters sitting in discomfort, it's tempting to feel resolved to move through it. But what if there's another way? What if you could grow through the discomfort instead of forcing your way past it?

Julie shares three powerful ways to start your year with growth instead of resolutions:

3 Ways to Start Your Year:

1. Find Value in Today, Not Results in Tomorrow - What if success isn't about outcomes but about what's valuable in showing up right now, in this moment?
   
   
2. See Discomfort as Growth, Not Something to Resolve - Your discomfort isn't a problem to fix - it's information about your expansion. It's the becoming. It's the growth happening right now.
   
   
3. Invest in the Process, Not the Destination - Resolutions bet everything on arriving somewhere. Growth invests in who you're becoming along the way.
   
   
   

Key Insights:

• Resolutions require willpower that runs out; growth invites presence
• The discomfort you're feeling isn't a problem - it's information about your expansion
• What you do today is valuable today AND ripples into the future
• You get to choose: forced determination or gentle commitment to your own expansion
