Today’s episode we’re getting into something that almost everyone is carrying right now, whether they realize it or not: The weight of negativity. This isn't about "toxic positivity." I’m not going to tell you to just "smile more" and your problems will vanish. That’s not what we do here. We’re going to talk about the raw truth of why we get stuck in these ruts and the relevant steps you can take today to actually break free and start transforming your reality. We will also discuss the importance of how to stop letting your history dictate your destiny. You have the power to change the lens.

Happy New Year, family! Welcome to the very first episode of 2026. Before we can welcome the new, we have to be raw about what we’re leaving behind.

Take a deep breath right now. That version of you that stayed silent to keep the peace? The version that let fear dictate your career moves? The version that struggled with the same old habits? We are saying goodbye to them today.

You cannot enter your future while holding onto the baggage of your past. 2026 requires a lighter, faster, and more authentic version of you.

Release the guilt. Release the 'could-haves.' We are thanking the old you for getting you this far, but they don't have a ticket to where we’re going next.

Every person has a unique destiny; an extraordinary purpose waiting to be fulfilled. Yet too often, our potential remains dormant because we feed our fears, doubts, and distractions instead of nurturing the vision planted within us. Just as our bodies need nourishment to thrive, so does our destiny. What we feed our minds, hearts, and spirits directly shapes the path we walk. We often think of destiny as something predetermined, a path laid out before us that we have no control over. But what if I told you that you have the power to actively participate in creating your own destiny? We will unpack this, and so much more on today’s episode.

Hey there, beautiful souls! Today’s episode, we're taking you through a packed holiday weekend: we tried to make Pinterest-perfect Christmas cookies (spoiler: it was a mess), battled the holiday crowds for gifts at Hudson Yards, drank eggnog, and braved the utterly chaotic but beautiful wonderland that is Rolf’s Christmas Bar for that perfect photo opp. We'll be talking about the magic, yes, but mostly the hustle—the budget, the crowds, and the importance of just being present with family!

Let's face it: the holidays can be a pressure cooker. When you mix long shopping lines, awkward family dinners, and spending money on presents, it’s easy to slip into Grinch mode—that cynical, bah-humbug refusal to participate—or become a Negative Nancy—the person who points out everything that's going wrong. This year, we're giving both the Grinch and Negative Nancy their walking papers! We're choosing to protect our peace and cultivate genuine, resilient joy.

We’re going to get real and raw about the things that can rob us of our joy and choose to actively nurture and protect it!
