NEW YEAR, SAME OLD AND EXHAUSTED YOU?

And just like that, the holidays are over.

I guess it’s time to circle back and make New Year's resolutions or not?

New Year resolutions are cool but if you’re like me and you started the year feeling a little tired and lethargic, I came to tell you that you’re 100% normal!!!

Look, the demands of the festive season can leave people feeling either underwhelmed or "over-revved".

Chances are you probably didn’t get to spend the holidays with your loved ones.

And even if you were privileged to have family, community and fun, as soon as things slowed down and everyone was back to minding their bills and business, you may have felt a little deflated. Either way, it’s okay.

If you’re not feeling as motivated and inspired as so many folks around you ‘seem’ to be, just breathe, take things one day at a time…And try this instead.

HERE’S WHAT’S UP 🤝

• Justin Trudeau resigns as Canada’s prime minister. According to him, he cannot be the ‘best option’

• Grad students in Canada are earning less than the poverty line, despite recent increases in federal scholarships

• Looks like people entitled to Canadian citizenship will have to wait longer for changes as the government missed the deadline – and Parliament won’t return until March 2025

• These are the changes coming to Express Entry in 2025
