In this episode, Dr. Trenette invites us to set 2026 goals differently. Instead of rushing into a “new year, go harder” mindset, we pause to reflect on what truly drained our energy in 2025 so we do not carry the same stress into a new calendar. This episode blends practical planning steps with encouragement that reminds us that our most important goals are not only about what we produce, but who we become while we are producing.

In This Episode, We Cover

• Why a new year does not automatically create new alignment
• How to reflect on 2025 without shame but with clarity and hope
• Three questions to identify what drained your energy, focus, and confidence
