First episode of 2026, and we’re skipping the “new year, new you” shit.

In this episode, Dez and I talk about why most New Year’s goals fail, and it’s not because you “lack discipline.” Most people build goals on top of chaos: bad sleep, overloaded schedules, unrealistic expectations, and the all-or-nothing mindset that collapses the second life gets messy.

We break down:
• Why “starting hard” usually leads to burnout by Week 2
• The 3 bad assumptions people make in January (and how they sabotage you)
• Why motivation always drops — and what to do when it does
• How to set goals that match your real capacity (time, stress, energy)
• A better approach: survival goals + systems that still work on your worst weeks
• The mindset shift that stops the shame spiral: don’t judge yourself — collect data

If you’ve ever said “this year will be different” and then watched February eat your goals alive… this episode is your reality check and your reset.
