If you're ready to trade tired resolutions for a year that feels like a work of art, step inside the School of Self-Image for The Curated Year Workshop. https://schoolofselfimage.com/join

Every December, a mysterious entry appears on my calendar that simply says: UNAVAILABLE. No meetings. No calls. No exceptions. Those closest to me don't even ask anymore – they know I'm about to perform my annual disappearing act.

I've done this long enough now to know… Those 24 hours are one of the biggest reasons my life doesn't feel like the same year dressed up in different clothes.

Today, I want to tell you why I disappear for one day every year, what the holiday overwhelm is really costing you, and why giving yourself this kind of space can completely change your self-image and the year ahead.

Here's what we cover:

• Why stepping away for 24 intentional hours can break the cycle of repeating the same year

• How distance, rest, beauty, and new environments create clarity

• The difference between default goals and vision-led goals rooted in desire and honesty

• How curation (reflecting, imagining, and choosing) reshapes both your year and identity

• Why most women stay stuck in loops and how pausing helps you see new possibilities

• How designing your year like a masterpiece leads you to become the woman you want to be

Betrayal Season 5

Betrayal Season 5

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
