Happy New Year, friends! Time to Set Your New Year Intention!

2026 is here, and with it comes the opportunity to start fresh, walk in purpose, and move toward the life you actually want — not just the one that happens by default.

If 2025 left you feeling disappointed, discouraged, or stuck, this episode is for you. I’m sharing the honest pep talk I gave myself as the clock turned. It’s a reminder that you don’t have to figure everything out — but you do need to decide where you're going, and take daily steps to get there. Let's set your New Year intention here.

In this episode, I talk about:

• How to reframe the disappointments of last year
• Why belief in your own dream is non-negotiable
• What happens when we drift through life instead of deciding
• A practical daily habit that can help you shift your mindset and build momentum

Whether you're a shy introvert, a mom with very little time, or someone rebuilding after loss or transition — you’ll find encouragement and clarity here. Time to set your New Year Intention.

This year, I'm challenging you (and myself) to stop burying your head in the sand. Let’s stop second-guessing our callings because of fear, burnout, or comparison. If God gave you a picture of the life you want, it’s not foolish. It’s not too big. It’s possible. But only if you believe it is.

And when doubt creeps in? Because it will. I walk you through one powerful thing you can do each day: Speak what you want to see.

Declare it. Pray it. Write it. Say it out loud.
God has given us words, faith, and wisdom. Use them.

This isn’t about hype or hustle — it’s about rooted action. About walking into the new year calm, clear, and confident in who God made you to be.

I want you to show up boldly, take the next right step, and build what matters — even if you’re not sure what the outcome will be. Even if you have to do it afraid.

This episode is your reminder:
You're not stuck.
You're not too late.
You're not too much.
And it's not a dead end unless you decide to stay there.

What are you believing for in 2026? I’d love to hear from you.
