Summary

Hey friends! Kaleb and I are so excited to kick off 2026 with this episode! Kaleb and I sat down and had a really honest convo about where we crushed it last year… and where we definitely did not 😂. From faith goals to fitness habits and even our not-so-great budgeting moments (aka WAY too much Chick-fil-A 🙃), we break down what went wrong and how we’re getting back on track this year. We talk about our new version of 75 Hard, realistic habits, financial rhythms as a married couple, and how we’re learning to serve each other better while staying plugged into church. I also chat about my word of the year and why I’m praying for more intentionality—not hustle—in 2026. Grab your journal, pray through your own goals, and let’s dream big this year together 💫. Love y’all so much and praying this episode encourages you!
