Why New Year’s resolutions fail and how to plan for 2026 without burning out by February.

Every December, we’re told to overhaul our lives, set bigger goals, and become a “new version” of ourselves but most resolutions don’t survive past January.

In this Christmas special episode, we’re breaking down the biggest New Year planning traps and sharing a realistic, pressure-free way to plan for 2026 that actually works in real life.

The festive season is magical… but let’s be honest, it can also feel a lot. Between social plans, expectations, end-of-year deadlines and trying to make everything feel “perfect”, it’s easy to forget about yourself.

In this Christmas special episode of Matcha Morning Club, we’re slowing things down and talking about how to truly care for yourself during the busiest time of the year. We share the small rituals, mindset shifts and gentle tactics we rely on to make the festive season feel calmer, more intentional and far less overwhelming.

From setting boundaries and embracing rest, to finding moments of joy within the chaos, this episode is a reminder that you don’t have to do it all to enjoy Christmas. Think cosy chats, honest reflections and permission to glow at your own pace 🎄

Pop the kettle on, grab your matcha, and join us for a slower, softer festive reset.
