In this January 2022 episode of We Can Do Hard Things, author and activist Glennon Doyle discusses her issue with the common New Year's mantra, as well as her own spiritual growth.

'New year, new me' — who hasn't said that at least once?

We're obsessed with self-improvement, and in January, everybody seems to be talking about it.

Glennon Doyle is here to tell you that you're fine, just as you are.

As social media churns with new diets and productivity tips, it's time to step back and ask whether January 'self-improvement' culture is doing us any good.

Doyle is a writer and activist who has spent over a decade examining female empowerment and women's issues.

On her podcast, We Can Do Hard Things, Doyle candidly explores a range of issues within an honest, judgment-free atmosphere.

She is often joined by her wife Abby Wambach – who is an Olympic soccer player – and her sister Amanda.

In this episode, Glennon, Abby, and Amanda examine the self-improvement trend, exploring our need to always be 'better' and the alternatives we can look to for authentic wellbeing.
