Most people don’t abandon their goals because they lack discipline—they drift when reality shows up unannounced. In this episode, Jonah dismantles the myth that January is about motivation and reframes it as the month where identity is tested. This is a grounded, honest conversation about staying connected to who you said you wanted to become when the excitement fades, life gets loud, and progress slows. Episode 44 sets the foundation for a three-part journey through January—not to hype resolutions, but to help listeners go the distance.
