In this episode, our discussion centers around the topic of New Year's resolutions (and lofty goals) and why up to 80% of them fail for most of us. Travis and Jessie talk about their own New Year's resolutions. Travis goes on a rabbit trail about beards and shares about his New Year's goal around better beard grooming and "bearding responsibly" in 2024. Jessie talks about her unique workplace setting.

They share tips and paradigm shifting resources they've learned that help us better achieve our goals and resolutions. They discuss rhythms and creating space for new habits to take root. They also talk about being the beloved of God and leaning into this reality.
