We tend to place "difficulty" on a pedestal, celebrating when people work hard. But where did we learn that it has to be hard? Why is easy bad? And is easy the opposite of hard or can we look to pleasure, softness, and play as antidotes to widespread burnout from the constant effort we're encouraged to make.

For many of us, this time of year feels like a fresh start...but it can also come with a ton of pressure to transform who you are, feel magically fulfilled all the time, and meet the expectations flying at us from all directions. Let's be honest, it also tends to set us up to feel like failures.So, as we move into a new year, we'll be sharing insights on how to navigate this time of year with more compassion for yourself so you can sustain your momentum long-term.
