January goals don’t fail because you’re inconsistent — they fail because January isn’t the time yet.

For Sensitive Bodies, jumping straight into goals before the body is ready creates resistance, burnout, and shame. In this episode of Cosmic Body Shenanigans, Amanda explains why intentions must come before goals, how January is meant to be a listening month, and how to use a simple three-month bridge so execution finally feels supportive instead of forced.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why motivation collapses when timing is ignored
  
  
  
• The difference between intentions and goals (and why it matters)
  
  
  
• How to create intentions your body can actually consent to
  
  
  
• What January, February, and March are each designed for
  
  
  
• How to move your body without turning movement into pressure
  
  
  

This episode is for sensitive, intuitive, high-capacity humans who are ready to stop fighting their bodies and start working with them.
