Leading Yourself

Someone asked me the other day how old I am…
and I paused.

It’s not a question I get often.
And if I’m honest, it’s one I used to feel uncomfortable answering—especially once I entered my 40s.

But now? I share it proudly.

Chronologically, I’m 44.
Biologically, I’m 29.5.

And that didn’t happen by accident.

I’m deeply intentional about how I listen to my body, care for it, and honor what it needs—physically, mentally, and emotionally. Aging, for me, isn’t about fighting time. It’s about partnering with my body and making choices that support the life I want to live.

Then there’s my Spotify age 😅
According to Spotify Wrapped, I’m 18.

That one made me laugh—because the truth is, my daughter uses my Spotify more than I do. And when I am on it, about 80% of the time it’s with her.

So how old am I?

It depends on who you ask.
But what I know for sure is this: I feel grounded, energized, and more myself than ever.

And that’s the age that matters most. ✨

7 Habits That Changed My Entire Year

And no… none of them are complicated, extreme, or Pinterest-perfect.

They’re small. Human. Doable.
And they helped me feel more grounded, joyful, and in control of my days — even during the messy seasons.

This year taught me that you don’t need a full life overhaul…
sometimes you just need one tiny habit that shifts your energy, builds your confidence, and reminds you who you are becoming.

Swipe through to read the seven habits that supported me the most — as a mom, a leader, a creator, and a woman navigating a big, beautiful, busy life. 💛

I hope at least one of them lands with you today.

What habits have most impacted you this year?

In today's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on 2025, not to celebrate wins, but to identify what actually created them.

Here's what I learned: transformation doesn't come from dramatic overhauls. It comes from small, sustainable habits that don't feel significant in the moment but quietly reshape everything: your energy, your confidence, the way you show up.

I'm sharing the seven tiny habits that made the biggest impact on my year. No extra time required. No budget needed. Just intention and awareness.

If you've been waiting for the "right time" to make a change, this episode might shift your perspective. Sometimes the most powerful moves are the smallest ones.

Why wait for January 1st to take charge of your career?

The real game-changers don’t wait for the calendar to flip, they start now.

While others wind down in December, this is your window to design your 2026 on your terms.
✅ Reflect: Who do you want to become, not just what do you want to do? Use this quiet time to review where you thrived and what truly energized you.
✅ Act in 90-Day Sprints: Forget vague 12-month resolutions. Set one clear, meaningful milestone for Q1 and start moving toward it today.
✅ Own It: Don’t wait for permission. Make your wins visible, ask for what you want, and find someone to hold you accountable.

Start now. By January, you’ll have momentum, and a head start others will envy. Your future self will thank you.

Everyone's waiting for January to start fresh. New year, new me, right? But here's what I've learned: by the time January 1st rolls around and everyone's making resolutions, the people who really own their careers are already three weeks into executing their plans.

My living legacy. 💫

She may not look like a mini-me, but her mindset? That’s where I see myself — only better.
At her age, I wasn’t nearly this strong, this independent, this curious, or this committed to growing. Watching her become who she’s meant to be reminds me every day that our greatest impact isn’t in what we achieve… it’s in who we raise.

Mom & daughter moments are my absolute favorites, the kind that fill me up, ground me, and remind me what really matters. 🤍✨

Here’s to the next generation of bold, kind, unstoppable women. And here’s to the honor of being her mom.

Every year I tell myself, “This time, I’m not buying anything.”

And every year… I buy something. 😅

But honestly? It’s hard to resist a good deal—especially on things I already use, love, and that support my goals and the version of me I’m becoming.

So here’s a peek at what I’m stocking up on this year:https://www.patreon.com/posts/144470593

We’re in the final stretch of the year.

And this is the season when your energy can either feel focused and intentional, or completely scattered and drained.

Between holiday plans, wrapping up work projects, social gatherings, and trying to finish the year “strong,” it’s so easy to end up spending your energy everywhere, but not really investing it anywhere that truly matters.

So today, I want to pause with you and ask a powerful question:

👉 Are you spending your energy… or are you investing it?

Because how you manage your energy in these last few weeks of the year — not your time, not your to-do list, but your energy is what determines how you’ll step into the new year.

So grab your coffee, take a deep breath, and let’s talk about what it really means to invest your energy in what gives you life, instead of draining it away.
