For many, New Year's resolutions are a pact to change areas of our lives, hoping that those changes will make us more worthy and lovable. Pushing ourselves to transform from a place of lacking self-worth in hopes of gaining acceptance is unproductive and defeating in the long run. So, is there a better way to create lasting change?
In this episode, Abi and Justin ditch traditional New Year’s resolutions and share insights on achieving lasting, tangible transformation. They explore how embracing your inherent value and approaching change from a place of worth—not to earn it—creates momentum and meaningful results. They also highlight the importance of desiring self-love as a foundation for healthy transformation and how this approach drives you to remove obstacles that hinder love, opening yourself up to a lifestyle of wholeness.
If you’ve experienced unsuccessful approaches to shifting your life in the New Year, then this episode will give you hope, clarity, and direction on how to change things up in the year to come!

Do you want to know a vital key to making your life better? It’s probably not what you think it is.
