No matter who you are and how you feel about New Year’s resolutions, there’s just something about the shift into a new calendar year that feels like a fresh start. Maybe you’ve spent the past few weeks writing pre-resolutions and manifesting big changes in 2024, or maybe you barely even registered the fact that a new year was upon us until the ball dropped. Either way, January gives us all an opportunity to turn a new page.

On The Everygirl Podcast, we’re stocking January with only the best, most inspiring, and transformative episodes organized around four common goals each week: manifest your dream life, detoxify, optimize your health, tap into your best-self energy, and achieve financial success. To help you make the most of the start of a new year (so that 2024 can actually be your best year ever), we’ve put together a January Challenge around these four different goals; expect episodes, articles, and exercises that will put those ~tangible tips~ into action. Consider us your accountability partner for your New Year’s resolutions. Read on below for the first week, centered around vision boarding, getting clear on your dream life, and all things manifestation.

Dream as big as you possibly can—nothing is off-limits for what you are capable of achieving in the new year.
