This episode offers a compassionate antidote to the relentless “new year, new me” pressure. Instead of pushing goals, habits, or hustle, it explores why January often feels heavy, exhausting, or overwhelming and reminds you that there’s nothing wrong if motivation feels out of reach. With warmth and honesty, I invite you to slow down, understand what’s happening in your nervous system, and rethink how you approach change in a way that honours your energy rather than drains it. No action steps, no pressure... just a calming space to land, breathe, and listen.

A warm, relatable podcast where I break down how real change happens. Through simple science and heartfelt insight, CPR shows how small, repeated actions can rewire your mind, calm your nervous system and transform your life.

This week I talk with bikini athlete Rachel Taylor about the realities behind extreme fitness goals, including mindset, nervous system strain, family impact, and the risks of comparison and disordered eating. We explore the difference between a competition body and a lifestyle body and highlight the importance of community, small wins, and self-compassion.

The episode encourages setting achievable, sustainable resolutions rooted in worthiness—not punishment—focusing on consistency, support, and nourishing habits that fit your life.
