Do You Set Goals in the New Year?

Barb Szyszkiewicz takes a look back at some Catholic Momcast episodes that talk about New Year's goals and resolutions.

There's something about the start of a new year that motivates people to make resolutions, set goals, and build new habits (or break old habits).

We didn't record a New Year's episode of the Catholic Momcast this year, but we have several from previous years that talk about setting goals (spoiler alert: not all of us do this!). Listen in and get to know what makes the Catholic Mom team tick.
