Hey besties, I'm Melissa and welcome to Brain Dump Podcast — a space for unpacking the habits, family patterns, and emotional inheritances we carry & asking what were ready to set down going into a new year. In this episode we reflect on leaving the 2025 baggage behind: over-explaining, over-responsibility, guilt about resting, and survival patterns that no longer serve us. We'll dive into mindset shifts over new years resolutions, Q&A listener responses, and choosing to pursue curiosity and small, sustainable steps over perfection. Take one grounding question with you: "What would make this year feel lighter to carry?" — a gentle nudge to start setting down what was never meant to be permanent.
