Summary
In the past 2 years, I've felt it ALL. At times I thought that the intensity of the pain would break me; and if I'm being honest, it did. But not in the ways I thought it would. Today, I reflect back on what 2025 taught me about heartbreak, about loss, and how these lessons set you up for success in 2026. I share why you can't expand your capacity without first breaking, and how to become the version of you that can hold everything you desire. Plus, my word for 2026 and what it truly means for transformation, for healing, and for the energy of the new year.
HIGHLIGHTS
00:00 What I learned from 2025 that will set you up for success in 2026.
03:00 How the past 2 years broke me in a way I didn't expect.
08:00 Why breaking is necessary in order to expand your capacity.
11:25 What will 2026 ask of us?
15:00 My word for 2026 and what it means for me.

| 1:05.9 | And I shared something on Instagram this morning. I've been kind of quiet on Instagram this year, |
| 1:11.8 | really just doing a lot of inner work and not needing to show up and say anything about it. |
| 1:19.8 | Something I'm going to be carrying into 2026 for sure. And I'll talk a little bit more about that |
| 1:26.2 | at the end. I want to share just really what, |
| 1:29.6 | as I reflected on this last year, what it taught me, what it showed me about myself, and especially |

| 2:02.3 | But I want to share a perspective on that process that will set you up for success in |
| 2:10.1 | 26, which is apparently if you believe in all of that, it's the year of the horse. |
| 2:16.4 | It's about forward movement and momentum. And all of that, it's the year of the horse. It's about forward movement and momentum. |
