In this Episode

Aly offers an alternative to New Year’s resolutions—one that trades pressure for perspective. She reframes January as a season for reflection rather than immediate execution. She unpacks how productivity culture and fitness marketing can quietly push people into “should” thinking, and why that mindset often leads to burnout instead of consistency. Through a three-part framework, listeners are guided to explore what actually worked for their bodies last year, what felt draining, and what deserves to be carried forward.

The episode reminds listeners that meaningful movement doesn’t have to wait for the perfect plan to be fleshed out. You can be someone mapping out an entire year or simply deciding how you feel in your body today. Aly reinforces that movement stories can be rewritten at any point, without guilt or grand declarations. Listeners are left with permission to slow down, simplify, and build a movement practice that is sustainable, responsive, and deeply personal.
