One of the hardest parts of being a parent is, if you want to be a good one, you have no choice but to become the kind of person you hope your kids will one day be. And the truth? None of us are there yet. We all have our flaws and blindspots. We all stumble and fall short of who we say we’re all about.

But here’s the good news: As we approach the end of 2025 and look toward the start of 2026, we have an opportunity to take a hard, honest look at ourselves.

What habits are holding you back? What patterns are you stuck in? What example are you setting for your kids that, deep down, you know you need to change?

And just as importantly: What potential is sitting dormant? What could you be if you stopped getting in your own way?

Here’s the reality: You can change. You can get better. And you don’t have to wait for the clock to strike midnight this year to start.

With registration for the 2026 Daily Stoic New Year, New You Challenge officially OPEN, the time to change is NOW!

Over the years, people from all walks of life—teachers, CEOs, army generals, students, artists, stay-at-home moms and plenty of dads—have transformed their lives with the Daily Stoic New Year, New You Challenge. Not through fleeting motivation, but through actionable wisdom.

This year, we’ve taken everything we’ve learned—years of feedback, insights, and hard-won lessons—and distilled them into our most powerful challenge yet.

You’ll discover how to:

• Build resilience through discomfort
• Let go of emotional burdens with practical rituals
• Form lasting habits that drive sustainable change
• Find gratitude and purpose in challenges
• Strengthen your relationships
• Focus on what truly matters
• Become the person you’ve always known you could be

As you stand at the threshold of 2026, ask yourself: What are the risks of NOT striving to reach your potential? What happens if you go another year modeling the very behaviors you hope your kids won’t repeat? What happens if you keep playing small—if you don’t step up to become the parent, the role model, the person you know you could be?

You owe it to yourself to strive for more. You owe it to your kids to show them what it looks like to embrace challenges and pursue growth. To refuse to settle for less. To make real, meaningful progress—starting now.

As a 2026 Daily Stoic New Year, New You Challenge participant, you’ll get:

• 21 Days of Challenges – New, actionable challenges sent daily (plus bonus challenges!)
• 3 LIVE Q&A Sessions with Ryan Holiday – Access to live Q&A sessions with Ryan himself, where you can ask him questions about the challenges

• Access to a Private Community Platform – Gain access to our very own community platform, where you’ll be able to access the daily challenges and chat in discussion boards with other participants

So, here’s the challenge: Will you let 2026 be just another year of broken promises? Or will you take action and start becoming the person your kids, your family—and you—deserve?

The 2026 Daily Stoic New Year, New You Challenge is here to help you do exactly that.

Sign up, commit to the process, and make 2026 the year you stop talking about change and start living it.
