Feeling the pressure to reinvent yourself this new year? What if the clarity you’re craving isn’t found in becoming a new you… but in returning to the core version of who you’ve always been?

In this powerful Season 4 kickoff of the Core Happiness Podcast, Kacee Banks unpacks why so many of us feel stuck, disconnected, or behind and how beginning again doesn’t mean starting over. It means realigning with your values, your truth, your inner compass.

Inside this episode:

✨ Why “glow ups” can still leave you empty

✨ How misaligned goals create emotional weight

✨ The science behind identity-based clarity

✨ Why 91% of resolutions fail (it’s not because you’re lazy)

✨ How to reset by reconnecting to your core values

✨ 3 transformational journaling questions to guide your new year

If you’ve been chasing goals you “should” want… if you’ve lost track of your intuition… or if you’re craving a reset without losing yourself in the process, this episode will bring you home to YOU.
