About this listen
My sweet friends 🤍
If you're feeling a little foggy after the holidays, distracted, behind, or like everything is slightly "off," this episode is for you. Today isn't about restarting your whole life. It's a reset. A soft landing into 2026 with some simple systems that help your brain breathe again.
What this episode is really about:
-
Resetting, not reinventing.
-
Getting the noise out of your head and into one place (because progress is pleasing to the brain).
-
Creating evidence that the day moved forward.
-
Recapturing our time, attention, and talent (instead of handing it to doom scrolling).
Key takeaways (quick + clear):
✅ Progress calms the brain. Open loops create mental noise.
✅ A brain dump is a reset button. The goal isn't to do it all—the goal is to see it.
✅ Saving something to your phone isn't an action step. (Ask me how I know 😂)
✅ One irreversible task a day builds momentum and self-trust.
✅ When nothing in your environment reminds you what matters, you lose focus. That's why boards work.
January Challenge: One Irreversible Task a Day
An irreversible task is something that leaves evidence and can't be easily undone:
-
A workout
-
A journal page
-
Reading a chapter
-
Hanging a picture
-
Styling a shelf
-
Completing one project step
3 Board Ideas from the episode (choose ONE to start):
-
Prayer Board – names, requests, scriptures, gratitude
-
Vision Board – not "manifesting," just setting direction
-
Life Board – current projects + punch lists + what matters right now
(Simple supplies. No perfection. Just visible reminders.)
