Ep 578New Year, Same You! Why this is GOOD news!!

3Rs of Meaningful Housework: simplyconvivial.com/cleanFree Organize Your Attitude Module: https://simplyconvivial.com/story - The "new year, same you" message might sound discouraging at first, but it's actually the hope-filled truth we need.

Instead, it means embracing the growth God has for us while anchoring ourselves in the reality of who we are—people in constant need of grace.In this video, I reflect on the temptation to use guilt or perfectionism as motivation for change and why that approach never works.
