It’s 2024 and this is the year you change everything.  Starting today, you’re going to give up all of your unwanted habits and only do the healthy thing from now on.  But wait, haven’t you said this to yourself before?  This week, Catherine and Donald explore the myth of the overnight success and how it can be damaging to our decision making and our expectations.  The couple encourage you to instead make gradual, sustainable changes that are the true way to unlock your goals.  Plus, Catherine has 311 regrets, Donald is not on team mason jar, and it turns out that a childhood enjoyment of Starsky and Hutch may be the secret to a happy marriage.
