WEBVTT 00:00:00.300 --> 00:00:04.679 Happy holidays, everyone. Thanks for joining 00:00:04.679 --> 00:00:08.119 me to share some things as we close out this 00:00:08.119 --> 00:00:13.300 year. I find myself reflecting on this incredible 00:00:13.300 --> 00:00:16.399 journey we've shared together. Whether you've 00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:20.199 been listening to the podcast since episode one, 00:00:20.300 --> 00:00:23.140 or if you just discovered the podcast recently, 00:00:23.620 --> 00:00:26.800 your presence here in my community means everything 00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:30.660 to me. So thank you. Thank you. for showing up. 00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:32.920 Thank you for being willing and thank you for 00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:35.420 your support. This year has been nothing short 00:00:35.420 --> 00:00:39.859 of remarkable. Every download, every share, every 00:00:39.859 --> 00:00:43.179 message that you've sent telling me how a particular 00:00:43.179 --> 00:00:46.780 episode resonated with you. These are the moments 00:00:46.780 --> 00:00:50.500 that just fuel my passion. It's the moments that 00:00:50.500 --> 00:00:53.799 just let me know I'm exactly where I'm supposed 00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:58.640 to be in this space. And you showing up for yourself, 00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:02.560 that takes great courage. And thank you for trusting 00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:07.099 me to be a part of that journey as you look to 00:01:07.099 --> 00:01:10.319 live with greater intention and purpose in your 00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:15.400 life. As we look ahead to next year, 2026 is 00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:17.420 just around the corner. I'm thrilled to announce 00:01:17.420 --> 00:01:21.019 there will be a season two and it's going to 00:01:21.019 --> 00:01:24.599 be our most transformative yet. We'll be doing 00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:28.519 deeper dives into practices, mindsets and strategies. 00:01:30.340 --> 00:01:33.579 We'll help you create the life you want, not 00:01:33.579 --> 00:01:36.560 the life that you think you want or that someone 00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:41.840 else wants you to have, but one that aligns with 00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:46.099 your authentic self. Here's what I know to be 00:01:46.099 --> 00:01:49.760 true. Listening and learning are powerful first 00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:54.340 steps. It's where it begins. But real transformation 00:01:54.340 --> 00:01:59.900 happens when you take action. Here's my invitation 00:01:59.900 --> 00:02:04.120 to you. Are you ready to make 2026 your year? 00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:08.020 Are you ready to live the life you want on your 00:02:08.020 --> 00:02:11.229 terms? Are you sick and tired of just being sick 00:02:11.229 --> 00:02:15.610 and tired? Has the pain of staying where you 00:02:15.610 --> 00:02:20.169 are become greater than that fear of doing something 00:02:20.169 --> 00:02:25.090 different? Let's take action together. Prioritize 00:02:25.090 --> 00:02:28.349 you. I want to invite you to work with me one 00:02:28.349 --> 00:02:31.389 -on -one where we can get rid of the noise and 00:02:31.389 --> 00:02:35.949 the overwhelm, clarify the vision. of the life 00:02:35.949 --> 00:02:39.110 that you want for yourself, unpack and remove 00:02:39.110 --> 00:02:42.110 those obstacles, those things that are holding 00:02:42.110 --> 00:02:45.169 you back that you just haven't been able to figure 00:02:45.169 --> 00:02:49.990 out. We'll develop personal strategies for something 00:02:49.990 --> 00:02:55.050 that actually fits you.

You know, 00:03:04.349 --> 00:03:06.930 creating with intention, it's not about perfection. 00:03:07.430 --> 00:03:10.729 It's about progress. It's about self -awareness. 00:03:10.770 --> 00:03:13.550 And it's about having someone in your corner 00:03:13.550 --> 00:03:16.590 who believes in your potential, even when you're 00:03:16.590 --> 00:03:19.289 struggling to see it yourself.
