New Year Pressure Is Real for Parents—Here’s a Gentler Way Forward

January comes with so much pressure — start strong, fix everything, become a new version of yourself. But what if the new year doesn’t need a reset… just more compassion? In this episode of But the Years Are Short, Katie and Meagan talk about the intense pressure that shows up every January — especially for parents — and why traditional resolutions often leave us feeling discouraged by February. They explore the difference between resolutions and intentions, why all-or-nothing thinking gets in the way of real change, and how choosing values-based intentions can help families move into the new year feeling grounded instead of overwhelmed. You’ll also hear: Why motivation isn’t enough How to reflect before you reset Why self-compassion makes change sustainable How to create a family intention with your kids If you’re craving a calmer, more realistic way into the new year, this conversation is for you. ⬇️ Download the free 2026 Intention Worksheet linked below. https://awesome-unit-60406.myflodesk.... 00:00 – Welcome & why January feels heavy 01:30 – The myth of the New Year “reset” 04:30 – Why real life doesn’t magically change in January 06:15 – Common New Year resolutions & why they’re hard to sustain 08:45 – Why resolutions usually fail by February 12:45 – Resolutions vs intentions: what’s the difference? 15:30 – Why life season & bandwidth matter 18:00 – How intentions change mindset, not just behavior 20:00 – What intention-setting teaches our kids 22:45 – Reflecting on what worked and what drained you 24:45 – Creating a family intention (without pressure) 26:30 – Closing thoughts & worksheet invitation #parentingpodcast #newyearintentions #resolutionsvsintentions #parentingmindset #gentlegoalsetting #podcast #mentalhealth #parenting #family #newyear
