Expect simple family wins, real-life honesty, and a powerful reframe that boosts health, energy & connection in 2026.

KEY POINTS

  • Why “less is more” made Christmas our best yet
  • The simple shoe-box wrapping hack every parent should steal
  • The unexpected joy of giving (and getting) thoughtful gifts
  • How a family goals retreat changed everything
  • Why most resolutions fail — and what actually works
  • The habit shift that created more vitality, energy & presence
  • Small daily choices → big long-term family wins

QUOTE OF THE EPISODE

“Goals work — but only when they become a lifestyle, a rhythm, a routine.”

ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS

  1. Plan a “less is more” Christmas: prioritise time, fun & simplicity
  2. Review family life quarterly: align goals, values, and expectations
  3. Choose identity over outcome: e.g., “I’m a runner” instead of “I’ll run a marathon”
  4. Track tiny wins: small daily progress beats big January promises
  5. Build shared vitality: move, eat well, and model healthy rhythms
