How are your New Year's resolutions going?

In truth, most of us struggle to stick to them. Many of us give up entirely or don't think they're even worth making to start with. But can we make changes to our lives that truly stick?

Dr Ayo Olatoye knows how hard this can be. His own mindset transformation began under terrible circumstances. After facing burnout as a doctor working in a hospital, he had a stroke and lost a close loved one in the same year. This led Ayo on a path to consider what really matters – and to find ways to change his mindset so that he could live life to the fullest.

In this week's episode, hear Ayo's story and discover the best way to plan your year ahead.
