My Raw Thoughts on 2025

I’m currently living a terrible year. So much negativity, bad habits, shedding, change, and pain have dragged with me all 2025. As I’m processing everything happening currently, I am trying to remember the pockets of the good. 

Here are a few: 

  • Found community in two places deeply this year. 

  • Built my personal brand that allowed for more speaking engagement, training others, and having conversations that meant so much. 

  • I traveled to SPAIN to speak because of the hard work I put in on my podcast and thought leadership platform. (bonus, my sister was with me) 

  • I got to experience Disney for the first time with my goofy nephews and see them light up in new ways. 

  • I saw 23 whales in the wild this year. (Hawaii and Washington) 

  • I wept for the first time in years. 

  • My best friend turned 5 and we had more walks than ever this year. 

  • I got into Tarot and led with intuition.

  • I flew over 43,500 miles this year to new places, continued favorites, for work, personal, and for solo adventures. 

  • Had oysters on both coasts of the US this year. 

  • I danced in 12 states and 2 countries. 


What I’ve learned: 

  • Clarity doesn’t just come when you are five steps ahead. 

  • It’s okay to need other people and in fact, it’s a requirement for living a full life. 

  • When one door closes, so many more open. 

  • Change is shedding and I had a lot to get rid of this year. 

  • I am stronger than I have ever let myself believe. 

  • Leading with heart isn’t a weakness, or something I should hide. 


So here’s to 2026. The year of the horse! To new beginnings, beauty, passion, and realigning myself to my purpose.
