The start of a new year always feels like a fresh chapter—a chance to reflect, reset, and dream about what’s next. But how many of us set goals in January, only to feel disconnected from them by February? If you’ve been there, you’re not alone. The key isn’t just setting goals—it’s creating traditions and systems that actually work for you.

Traditions That Keep You Grounded

In our household, we’ve adopted a tradition that makes goal-setting meaningful and, dare I say, fun. My husband and I choose a "Word of the Year." This single word serves as our North Star—a constant reminder of the focus we want to maintain throughout the year. For us, it’s not just about goal-setting; it’s about accountability. Every time we’re faced with decisions, our word helps guide us back to our bigger purpose.

Your tradition doesn’t have to look like ours. Maybe it’s a family meeting where everyone shares one goal. Or a vision board night with friends. The point is to create something that resonates with you and keeps your goals front and center.

Beyond the Physical: Holistic Health Goals

When we think about New Year’s resolutions, many of us immediately jump to physical health goals. While there’s nothing wrong with wanting to improve your fitness, this year, I’d like to challenge you to think bigger. What about your mental health? Your relationships? And yes—your finances.

As Americans, many of us are grappling with the reality that our dollars don’t stretch as far as they used to. Inflation has reshaped how we budget and spend, and as we prepare for a new administration in the coming weeks, now is the time to take a hard look at our financial health. It’s not just about maintaining a lifestyle—it’s about creating a healthier, more intentional relationship with money.

Introducing: The Debt Detox

If finances are an area you want to focus on this year, we’re here to help. Our new on-demand course, The Debt Detox: New Year, New Relationship with Money, is designed to empower you with practical tools and strategies to transform your financial future. The best thing about it, you can take this course right from the comfort of your home, on your mobile device, or wherever you desire!

In this course, you’ll learn:

How to create a budget that aligns with your goals and values
Ways to manage and pay down debt strategically
The importance of building an emergency fund, one small step at a time
Proven techniques for reducing financial stress and cultivating a healthier mindset about money

We know talking about money can feel overwhelming or even uncomfortable. That’s why The Debt Detox is structured to be approachable, relatable, and packed with actionable steps you can take immediately. It’s not about perfection—it’s about progress.

Prioritize Your Mental Health

If mental health is an area you’re focusing on this year, we encourage you to prioritize yourself and your needs.
