Summary

In this episode, Matthew dives deep into why the "New Year, New Me" mindset often sets us up for failure and how true change is possible with practical steps to break through our old habits and wiring.

Topics include:
  • Why Resolutions Fail: How old patterns and beliefs hold us back, no matter how ambitious our goals are.
  • Why creating new goals without addressing underlying habits leads to frustration.
  • The role of action and getting new reference points to rewire our beliefs.
  • Breaking generational patterns of beliefs, behaviors, and trauma.
  • Deciding to "be the pioneer" who changes the trajectory of your family or personal life.
  • Recognizing the opportunities missed due to self-protective behaviors.
  • Why fear of rejection and always "playing defense" hold us back.
  • Practical tools for managing emotional triggers and replacing them with healthier responses.
