Episode 32: Honoring Your Seasons: Why New Year's Resolutions Don't Always Work for Physician Spo...

If you're married to a physician, the "New Year, new you" pressure can feel extra exhausting, especially when your life is already running on a high-demand schedule. In this episode, Kendra and Katie offer you something better than resolutions: permission to honor your current season and work with your real energy, not an arbitrary calendar date. In this episode, we cover • Why January 1 can be a terrible "starting line" (and why nature is resting when we're told to sprint) • The seasons framework, using a farming metaphor: • Winter: planning, rest, reflection • Spring: gentle planting, experimentation • Summer: consistent growth and maintenance • Fall: harvesting wins, celebrating, completing the cycle • Why your seasons do not have to match the calendar, and how you can be in different seasons in different areas of life • The simplest way to identify your current season: • What is your energy actually like right now? • Does starting something new feel exciting or exhausting? • Real-life examples from Kendra and Katie about where they are right now, and what they're choosing to say yes to, and no to • A practical way to answer the "What are your New Year's resolutions?" question without over-explaining • A reflection prompt to help you align this week with what you truly need Reflection prompt (from the episode) What does my season need from me right now? Coming next Next week, we're talking about what the principles of Fair Play can look like in physician families. Interested in Coaching with Kendra?
