Resolutions, Delusions, and Good Intentions

New year, new intentions, same old chaos. Josie and Kayla are back, and in Episode 11, they get brutally honest about why New Year’s resolutions never stick, why we all procrastinate, and why short-term rewards are way more fun than long-term goals.

From Josie wanting to keep her house organized to Kayla trying to focus on one thing at a time without losing her mind, they explore the good intentions that somehow never turn into follow-through. Spoiler: We love planning, we love the idea of doing things, but actually doing them? That’s tricky.

They talk about setting realistic goals instead of the impossible stuff that makes you crash and burn by February. Health and wellness? Yes. Weight loss, meal prep, working out without hating yourself? They cover it. Money goals? Saving for a house, paying off debt, planning trips? They’ve got that too. And somehow, they make it all sound hilarious and relatable.

But this episode isn’t just about the serious stuff. Josie and Kayla get into the real-life challenges: spring hits and suddenly your goals smell like 3:00 beers on a patio, warm weather makes it harder to focus, city FOMO, balancing goals with actually living your life. Kayla talks about learning to cook, playing guitar, moving to the city, and embracing change. Josie shares her push for monthly cultural adventures, trying new restaurants, making art, learning instruments, and doing things socially without needing a drink to get through it.

By the end, you’ll laugh, probably nod your head a lot, and maybe even feel a little inspired to start something small today instead of waiting for the “perfect” moment. This is an episode about starting at day one, taking small steps, and realizing that good intentions are worth celebrating, even if nothing goes perfectly.
