Ep. 50 | I Broke My New Year's Resolution on January 3rd (And Why That's Actually Perfect)
Podcast:The Daily Ascent,Molly Carmel,What You're Craving Published On: Fri Jan 09 2026 Description: In today's episode, I'm talking about what happened when I broke my New Year's resolution on January 3rd - and why perfectionism is the real enemy, not imperfection. I share the story of reflexively reaching for my phone and playing Wordle before my morning practice, and how my yoga teacher told the exact same story that day. We'll explore why the goal isn't to never mess up - it's to learn how to mess up and keep going anyway. Question to carry into your day: What resolution or intention are you holding with too much perfectionism - and what would it look like to hold it with both commitment and self-compassion instead?
