🎙 Season Two · Transmission One | The Reset Year

What if this year isn’t about fixing everything?

What if it’s about slowing down long enough to notice what’s actually here?

In this Season Two opener of The Manuel Transmission, Brad and Monnica Manuel begin a new chapter — one rooted in awareness, not optimization. After a season of becoming, this conversation invites listeners into something quieter and more foundational: the pause before the push.

We talk about why so many resets fail, how urgency sneaks into even our best intentions, and why awareness is often the most countercultural move a leader, partner, or human can make.

This isn’t a goal-setting episode.
It’s a reset of how we relate to goals, change, and ourselves.

In this transmission, we explore:
• Why “fixing” is often a reflex, not a strategy
• What awareness creates that willpower never can
• The difference between starting over and starting present
• How leadership, marriage, and growth all begin the same way — with noticing
• Why this season is about patterns before performance

Season Two Theme: Awareness
Before identity. Before repair. Before change.

If you’re entering a new year, a new season, or a moment of transition — this conversation is an invitation to slow down and begin again differently.
