The one where we rethink the pressure of a new year and choose what you actually need.

The start of a new year often comes with expectations to set goals, change habits, and get it right straight away. But what if January is not the time to push or reinvent yourself?

In this first episode of Season 2, Liz explores why New Year’s resolutions so often fail and what neuroscience and behaviour change research tell us about creating change that actually lasts. She shares why January can be particularly challenging for maintaining routines, and why allowing yourself time to settle into the year before making big decisions can be one of the most supportive choices you make.

Liz also reflects on her word for 2026, presence, and how this intention is challenging long held patterns of rushing, overdoing, and always thinking ahead, particularly as a person with ADHD and as family, work, and life rhythms continue to shift.

Throughout the episode, Liz offers reflection questions to help you explore what truly supports you, identify habits you may be outgrowing, and consider a word for the year that feels grounding rather than pressurising. She also revisits the power of vision boards, explaining the science behind why they work best when they focus on who you want to be rather than what you want to achieve.

This episode is an invitation to begin 2026 with curiosity, intention, and kindness, letting clarity come through awareness rather than pressure.

If this is your first time listening, welcome. And if you’re returning, you may notice something new landing this time.

In this episode, we dive deep into gratitude, not as a fluffy idea, but as one of the simplest and most powerful tools for shaping mindset and perspective.

You’ll learn the science behind gratitude, how it rewires the brain, lowers stress, strengthens relationships, and why it becomes truly powerful when we feel it in our hearts.

I share practical examples for children, teens, families, and adults, alongside stories from my life as a teacher and parent. We also explore how gratitude creates ripple effects that extend far beyond ourselves.

Together, we uncover simple ways to bring gratitude into daily life, from family rituals to classroom glimmers to powerful mindset reframes.

Because when we choose gratitude, we choose perspective.

If this is your first time here, welcome. And if you’re returning to this episode, you may hear it through a different lens this time.

In this episode, I share my journey of being diagnosed with ADHD at 35. I unpack the stories I carried for decades and the deep relief that came with finally understanding myself.

We explore school struggles, emotional masking, leadership strengths, and healing as a mum. This is an honest look at what I wish my younger self knew and what every neurodivergent child deserves to hear.

There are tears, laughs at my mistakes, and a whole lot of truth. My hope is that this episode helps you feel seen, understood, and less alone.

What if you treated your next goal like an adventure, not a final exam?

In this episode, we explore how shifting into “adventure energy” creates more freedom, fun, and momentum. This podcast is living proof. It started as a little adventure and grew into something I love.

Less pressure. More permission. Because life is an adventure, not a test.

For some of you, this may be your first time listening. Welcome.

This episode marks something special. It was the very first interview on the podcast and a conversation that had been on my heart for a long time.

I sit down with someone I know and love deeply, my husband Jason, to explore what it really means to be a man and a father in today’s world.

This conversation is reflective, emotional, and real. We talk about how the role of men and fathers has shifted since the 90s, what it means to want to do things differently, and how becoming a better dad often begins with facing parts of yourself that were never taught how to feel, express, or heal.

Jason shares how fatherhood changed his life, how he’s working to break cycles, and what he hopes to pass on to our children.

This episode is for anyone who has special men in their lives, is raising boys, or is holding space for a new kind of masculinity to grow.

You’re going to feel this one.
