Going into 2026, I realized I couldn’t keep building my dream life the same way — it was exhausting me.

In this episode, I’m sharing five hard truths I’m taking with me into the new year — the kind that aren’t always comfortable, but are necessary if you want a life that actually feels good to live.

We talk about:

• Why your dream life shouldn’t burn you out

• Why your life might look “boring” before it looks beautiful

• Why forgiveness is not required for growth

• Why owning your decisions matters more than making the “right” one

• And why it’s time to stop commenting on other people’s bodies

I also reflect on what it means to keep dreaming — and choosing yourself — in a world that feels heavy, unjust, and overwhelming.

If you’re tired but still hopeful, this episode is for you.
