As the year comes to a close, the pressure to reinvent ourselves starts to rise. “New year, new me” culture tells us we must transform, overhaul our habits, set 20 resolutions, and show up in January as a completely new woman. But what if you don’t have to? In this Mid Week Tease episode, Adelle Onyango offers a soothing, truth-filled conversation about stepping into the new year gently, without burnout, shame, or the pressure to rebuild yourself from scratch. We explore:
- Why January reinvention culture creates unnecessary pressure
- How the self-improvement industry profits from women feeling “not enough”
- What gentler, more realistic growth models look like
- Why healing and change don’t follow calendar timelines
- How to honour the version of you that carried you through this year
- Soft, sustainable shifts you can embrace instead of drastic reinventions
This episode is for anyone feeling exhausted, uncertain, reflective, or overwhelmed by “new year expectations.” You deserve a beginning that feels kind, not punishing.
