This is a reflection episode and a conversation about planning for 2026 in business.

I wanted to slow things down, look back properly, and ask better questions before moving forward. Questions about what you have actually achieved, where you might not be giving yourself enough credit, and what winning really looks and feels like for you next year.

We talk about simplicity, letting go of chaos, and why making things harder than they need to be can feel familiar, even when it is no longer serving you. I share what I am choosing to say no to in my own business, how I am creating more ease, and why planning for 2026 in business does not have to mean doing more.

I also share a personal moment that reminded me how quickly we can make things mean something they do not, and why asking what your future self’s future self would think can cut through overthinking fast. If you are ready to make clearer decisions, back yourself more, and move into 2026 feeling steadier and more intentional then have a listen.

This episode is not a goodbye so stay tuned for more in the future. In the meantime you can find me on instagram on the links below.

2025 has been a whirlwind in my business, and I wanted to take a moment to reflect on everything that’s happened this year. In this episode, I share my a reflection on my business growth, the wins, the lessons, the moments that stretched me and the risks that paid off.

From networking every week to launching the Embody Mastermind, getting my own office, and stepping into bigger opportunities, this year has been about showing up, backing myself and embracing the energy that fuels real growth. I also share the challenges, illness, injuries and the times I’ve had to step back to recharge, because growth isn’t always glamorous, and acknowledging the tricky parts is just as important as celebrating the wins.

I’m sharing all of this because I want you to see what’s possible when you commit to your business and your own growth. This isn’t just a highlight reel, it’s real, messy, challenging and full of lessons that can help you in your own journey. I hope to give you permission to celebrate your wins, learn from the tricky moments and step into 2026 with clarity, confidence and the belief that you can create the results you want in your business too. Will 2026 be the year you back yourself?
