This year taught me more than I ever expected. There were wins, challenges, business growth, motherhood, maternity leave, and more. In this episode, I’m walking you through my full Year in Review, highlighting what worked, what didn’t, the surprising lessons learned, and what I’m taking into 2026 with renewed clarity and intentional focus.

Listen in as I share insights from a year that included launching a new offer, scaling systems, taking a 12‑week paid maternity leave, and showing up again with more resilience than ever. Whether you’re wrapping up your year or beginning your planning, this episode is your invitation to take meaningful stock of your own business.

In this Episode:

• Big wins in business and strategy that moved the needle in 2025
• Honest lessons from things that fell flat
• Why reviewing your year matters — not just for numbers, but for perspective
