A new year often brings with it a familiar question: What will I resolve to do differently this year? This year, I jokingly told myself that my resolution was to keep my resolution going just 30 days longer than last year. While that may not sound particularly inspiring, it reflects something very real—staying on track can be hard. Even with the best intentions, life has a way of interrupting our plans.

We’re focusing on something many people struggle with this time of year: financial stress, self-care, and staying balanced right through the end of December.

The holiday season is filled with celebration, connection, and cozy moments—but it can also bring stress, fatigue, and the pressure to do everything perfectly.
