New Year’s Resolutions That Actually Stick with Megan Secrest, LCSW

January has a way of turning change into pressure, noise, and unrealistic expectations.  Today I’m joined by my friend and colleague Megan Secrest, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the founder of Gift of Grit Counseling. Megan brings such a grounded, real-life approach to change—especially when it comes to health goals, identity shifts, and the emotional side of starting over. In this episode, we talk about New Year’s resolutions—but not in the usual pressure-filled way. We get into why resolutions often fall apart, how your nervous system plays a role, and how to set goals that actually fit your real life and energy. If you’re someone who’s tried to “get it together” every January… this one’s for you.  We talk about:  Why most resolutions fall apart (and it’s not because you’re lazy)  The best time to start (hint: it’s not January 1)  How to choose goals that fit your real life—not your fantasy life  The mindset shift from vanity goals to “future me” goals (hello, the 70-year-old version of you)  Megan’s 10 rules for sustainable changes. About today’s guest: Megan Secrest, LCSW is the founder of Gift of Grit Counseling. She supports clients navigating anxiety, trauma, major life transitions, identity shifts, and grief—and she blends trauma-informed therapy, EMDR, polyvagal principles, and practical habit-building tools to help change actually last.
