If you’re an ambitious go-getter who’s feeling that end-of-year / new-year hype (or coming back from a pause, pivot, or “wait… what am I even doing?” season)… this episode is for you.

Because momentum is powerful — but going from 0 to 100 is the fastest way to burn out, hate your goals, and want to burn it all down.

In this episode, I’m sharing how I’m personally ramping things up right now (while finishing my first trimester, parenting a toddler, switching career paths, studying for my real estate exam, building a property from the ground up, and bringing the podcast back 
) — and how you can build momentum in a way that still lets you feel grounded, present, and like you’re actually on your own team.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • Why direction matters more than speed (and why 0 → 100 backfires)
  • How to set goals based on your actual season of life
  • Why your pace might need to change — and that doesn’t mean you’re failing
  • The power of choosing a 30–60 day main focus (instead of 12 goals at once)
  • Deciding what you’re not doing right now (so you don’t drop yourself)
  • Using energy as the metric vs motivation — “does this expand me or drain me?”
  • How to make your goals more fun so you’ll actually stay consistent
  • Why white space isn’t laziness — it’s strategy
  • The reminder you need: you’re not starting from scratch… you’re starting from experience

If this hit, DM me your 2026 goals — I love hearing what you’re excited about and I’m rooting for you big time.
