We're officially in the December sprint, and somehow also feeling the pull to think about next year. Before you start writing goals for 2026, I'm walking you through the 3 things I always do first to make sure my goals actually stick… and actually matter.

In this episode, I'm sharing how I look back at my year, choose a "word of the year," and vision out what I want my life to feel like before I ever write a single goal. This pre-work is simple and honestly the secret to building a year you're excited about.

Episode Highlights:

• Why jumping straight into goals usually backfires
• The simple look-back process I use to gather real insights from the past year
• How I choose my "word of the year"
• The quick exercise that shapes my vision for the year ahead
• How these three steps set you up to create goals that are aligned, doable, and meaningful
