In this episode of Let’s Talk, Yvie sits down with Jackson Rose, Helpline Supervisor at Butterfly Foundation, to explore the hidden risks of New Year’s resolutions. While the desire to improve or change ourselves isn’t inherently problematic, black-and-white thinking about ‘good’ and ‘bad’ behaviours—particularly around food and exercise—can carry serious psychological and physical risks.
Jackson shares insights into how societal pressures and rigid resolutions around weight loss and fitness can do more harm than good, offering practical tips on how to recognise and navigate these challenges in the new year. Whether you’re feeling uneasy about your body after the holiday festivities or worried about a loved one, this episode encourages a more balanced, compassionate, and sustainable approach to self-care.
