This is the first episode of 2026, and we’re starting strong—with truth, not trends.

Every January, social media explodes with “New Year, New Me,” motivation hacks, and goal-setting hype. But here’s the problem: motivation doesn’t last. In fact, studies show that 80% of people give up on their New Year’s resolutions by the second week of January—and by February, most are barely hanging on.

In this episode, Kala Simmons, empowerment coach and creator of The Kollective, breaks down why motivation is a shaky foundation for success—and what actually creates lasting change: ownership.

You’ll learn:

• Why motivation is fleeting (and why that’s not a personal failure)
• The truth behind New Year’s resolutions and why most don’t stick
• How choosing ownership puts you back in control of your goals and decisions
• What it really means to elevate your current self (not reinvent yourself)
• How taking responsibility for your choices unlocks confidence, clarity, and momentum

Kala also introduces Own It, a powerful personal growth workbook designed to help you:

• Stop repeating the same cycles
• Take ownership of your habits, mindset, and decisions
• Create real, actionable change without pressure or fluff

Whether you’re a self-guided girlie or want deeper support with a 1:1 call, Own It meets you where you are—and helps you move forward with intention.
