At the beginning of every year, we hear these questions; "What are your goals for this year?" OR "What’s your New Year Resolution?"

But sometimes, there's the struggle to fight against resistance when we want to achieve our goals...Other times, it's simply a matter of gratification. And that's what we chat about with our guest on part 1 of this episode.

P.S: Happy New Year! What have you been getting up to at your end?
