Summary

If the old tactics aren’t working anymore, it doesn’t mean you’re broken, it means you’re aware, and awareness is power. In this episode, I break down why this season isn’t asking you to quit, it’s asking you to get more intentional. Success is seasonal, effort isn’t always the answer, and when things feel harder than they used to, it may be feedback, not failure. I also share an exercise to turn how you want to feel in 2026 into an actual strategy so your calendar, energy, and actions support the life you’re building next.
