"I don't know who originally decided that Jan. 1 had to be a hard deadline for resolutions, but it never sat well with me. That first week of the first month of the new year doesn't exactly tee you up to feel like your best new self. You're recovering from December, the kids are still home, you probably have to (begrudgingly) return to work. Somehow you're supposed to just wake up energized and reborn? Bish, please. And you know what? Michelle Buteau agrees."
"For Buteau, 2026 is shaping up to be another big year. She's the creator and star of Netflix's hilarious hit series Survival of the Thickest, currently back in production for its third and final season; a history-making comedian who became the first woman to record a stand-up special at Radio City Music Hall; and, particularly contextual to this conversation, a mom who fully understands that "new year, new me" energy doesn't magically kick in on Jan. 1."
"That's why teaming up with Premier Protein for its "new, New Year" campaign - which encourages people to start fresh when they're actually ready - felt like a natural fit for Buteau. She's always championed doing life on your own terms. "My mission statement is always it doesn't matter how you get there as long as you get there and give yourself grace," she told us over Zoom."
Michelle Buteau rejects a strict Jan. 1 deadline for resolutions and urges starting fresh when personally ready. She created and stars in Netflix's Survival of the Thickest, which is returning for a third and final season. Buteau made history as the first woman to record a stand-up special at Radio City Music Hall. She partnered with Premier Protein's "new, New Year" campaign to promote flexible, realistic fresh starts. Her stated mission emphasizes reaching goals while practicing self-grace regardless of the path. She balances a high-profile comedy career and motherhood while favoring practical self-care over elaborate getaways.
