Relax, I Got This! Podcast -- Embracing Life After 60

Episode 57: Embracing Life After 60: Progress Over Perfection: Smarter Resolutions for 2026

As 2025 comes to a close and we step into 2026, many of us start thinking about New Year’s resolutions — and just as often, why they don’t stick. In this final episode of the year, Robin McCoy takes a refreshing, realistic look at resolutions through a new lens: simple vs. complex goals.

Instead of overwhelming ourselves with massive, all-or-nothing resolutions like “declutter the entire house” or “downsize by March,” Robin breaks down why small, simple actions create real momentum — especially for adults over 60 and those helping aging parents navigate life transitions.

From decluttering and downsizing to letting go of emotional clutter, Robin shares personal stories, practical examples, and insights inspired by Decluttering at the Speed of Life by Dana K. White and the concept of consistency over intensity. You’ll learn how to:

  • Identify complex resolutions that set you up for frustration
  • Start small without guilt
  • Make progress without chasing perfection
  • Support aging loved ones without forcing change
  • Let go of “stuff” without letting go of meaning

This episode is especially helpful if you’re:
 ✔ Feeling overwhelmed by clutter or downsizing
 ✔ Supporting aging parents or loved ones
 ✔ Planning a move, lifestyle change, or next chapter
 ✔ Ready for sustainable habits in 2026

Robin also shares how gentle, intentional steps — even 15 minutes at a time — can create lasting change and peace of mind.
