In this episode of The Unfiltered Lens, I walk through how to reflect on your year properly, use numbers without fear, and set goals that actually change how you work.

This is a business focused approach to planning your next wedding season. No aesthetics. No manifesting. Just clarity, action, and realism.

I also share why delusional goals can both help and hurt, how to turn goals into habits, and why every plan needs buffer, not pressure.
