On this episode, Steph addresses a big concern that typically comes up at this time of the year: WHAT THE HECK SHOULD I SET AS MY NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION?? She discusses why we gravitate towards weight and body goals in the first place, what the scientific literature actually shows about the links between weight and wellbeing, and how we can begin to brainstorm ideas for more fulfilling and self-respecting goals in the coming year.
