Stop Winging It: How to Build a Life You Can Actually Stick To This Year

In today's episode — Part Three of my New Year Planning Mini Series — we're taking everything you discovered about who you were last year and who you want to become next year… and we're turning it into a practical, step-by-step plan you can actually follow through on.

If you've ever set goals in January only to lose momentum a few weeks in, this episode is the missing link. I walk you through exactly how I design my routines, habits, and daily structure so they match the woman I'm becoming — not the version of me that's operating on autopilot.

This is where your identity, your intention, and your real life finally align.

You'll learn: • How to build a simple daily plan that supports your future self • The key habits that matter most (and which ones you can stop stressing about) • The mindset shift that makes consistency easier • How to reverse-engineer your goals into doable action steps • Why structure creates freedom — not pressure • What to track, what to ignore, and how to stay anchored all year long

By the end of this episode, you'll have a realistic plan you want to stick to because it reflects the life you're intentionally creating — not another overwhelming list that burns you out. This is where your new year stops feeling chaotic and starts feeling clear.

If you haven't listened to Parts One and Two yet, pause and go back. This entire framework builds on itself, and I want you to have the breakthrough, not just another to-do list.

Let's create the year you keep saying you want.

Who You're Becoming in 2026 — Getting Clear on Your Direction Part 2 of the New Year Clarity Series

In last week's episode, we looked honestly at our lives and reflected on who we were this past year—our habits, patterns, behaviors, emotions, and the identity we've been living from. Now it's time to take the next step. In Part 2 of my three-part New Year Clarity Series, we're shifting from reflection into vision. We're getting clear about the direction we want to go in 2026 and the woman we are intentionally becoming.

This episode is all about designing your future with clarity and purpose. We're not drifting into a new year hoping it magically feels different. We're deciding, on purpose, who we want to be, how we want to feel, and what we want our life to finally reflect.

Inside this episode, I guide you through deep, practical vision-casting prompts to help you identify: ✨ Who you want to become a year from now ✨ The fears you're ready to release ✨ The habits and patterns you want to embody ✨ What you want your health, body, money, work, routines, and relationships to look like ✨ How the future version of you speaks, walks, thinks, and moves through her day ✨ What kind of work and purpose you feel called to pursue ✨ What environments support the life you're trying to build ✨ What you're no longer available to tolerate in this next season

This is vision work, identity work, and mindset work all woven together. Before we make tangible plans or set goals, we have to understand the direction of our lives and the identity we're stepping into. Without vision, we end up recreating the same year again and again.

Think of this episode as your permission slip to dream again—to imagine a life aligned with your values, your energy, your faith, and your desires. Whether you're craving better health, more money, deeper purpose, emotional peace, or a stronger sense of self, this is where the path forward gets defined.

This is Part 2 of 3, where we build vision and clarity for your future before mapping out the action steps that will help you fully execute your life in 2026. Next week, we'll take everything you've uncovered and turn it into practical, tangible steps you can implement right away.

Let's dive in—your future is calling.

Don't Plan 2026 Yet — You Need to Hear This First. Part 1 of the New Year Clarity Series

Before we start chasing new goals, new routines, or a "new year, new me," we have to pause and actually understand the story we've been living. In this first episode of my three-part New Year Clarity Series, I'm guiding you through a powerful life audit—a reflection practice that helps you see your patterns, habits, energy leaks, and the places you've abandoned or honored yourself over this past year.

Most women never slow down long enough to evaluate their lives, and without reflection, we end up repeating the same year again and again. If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, burnt out, disconnected, or unsure of what you truly want for 2026, this episode will give you the clarity and emotional grounding you've been craving.

Inside this episode, I walk you through: ✨ How to identify the patterns you lived in this year ✨ The habits that silently shaped your identity and energy ✨ What drained you vs. what fueled you ✨ Where you showed up for yourself—and where you didn't ✨ Simple reflection prompts to help you see what's actually true in your life

This is the work that creates real transformation. Before we map out your direction for the new year, we start by understanding who you were, what you tolerated, what you avoided, and what you can celebrate about yourself.

If you want a year that feels intentional, aligned, peaceful, and purpose-driven, this life audit is where everything begins.

Get ready for deep honesty, self-awareness, and the relief that comes from finally seeing your life clearly.

This is Part 1 of 3, and it sets the foundation for the next episodes where we'll uncover who you are right now and design the direction you want to move toward in 2026.

Let's dive in — your clarity begins here.

In this episode, I'm sharing the real secret to avoiding seasonal depression, winter sickness, and holiday burnout. We're talking about how to honor the natural rhythm of the season instead of fighting it — learning from nature, animals, and even our own biology. I'll walk you through why so many of us feel exhausted and heavy this time of year, what's actually happening in your body and brain during the darker months, and how to protect your energy with simple, intentional habits. If you're ready to feel grounded, joyful, and healthy through the winter months (like loving it as much as you love summer!) — without overloading your schedule — this episode will help you slow down, align with the season, and find peace in the pause.

In today's episode, I'm sharing a story that hit me right in the heart — a story about a woman who rebuilt her entire life through one tiny act of ownership. Not a dramatic morning routine, not a huge reset, not a massive life overhaul… but a glass of water.

I walk you through her journey of exhaustion, numbness, and self-doubt, and how a single small decision became the starting point for an identity shift. Then, in the second part of the episode, I break down what this means for you: how micro-habits, tiny wins, and simple daily choices can rebuild your confidence and transform your life from the inside out.

This episode is for you if you feel stuck, overwhelmed, behind on your goals, or like you've lost trust with yourself over time. I give you a practical framework to start rebuilding — gently, sustainably, and powerfully — one small promise at a time.

In this episode, I talk about: • The power of tiny, consistent habits • Why big plans often keep us stuck • How to rebuild trust with yourself • Identity shifts and why they matter • Overcoming overwhelm and starting where you are • Creating momentum through small daily decisions • How to choose your own "glass-of-water moment" • Simple, doable habits that create real transformation

Ever feel like there's never enough time — yet somehow other women seem to get everything done and have time to breathe? In Part 2 of my automation series for the intentional woman, I'm breaking down exactly how to create systems that take the pressure off your daily routines and give you back your brainpower.

In this episode, I'm sharing the simple automations I use to keep life flowing without constant decision fatigue. We'll talk about:

• How to automate your grocery shopping

• A flexible system for meal planning that doesn't burn you out

• A streamlined clothing system for you and your kids

• Ways to help your home run smoothly—without micromanaging every detail

This isn't about doing more just to be more productive. It's about building rhythms that support who you want to be. Your time, your energy, and your presence matter. Let's stop wasting them on stuff that can run on autopilot.

Hey friend — if your to-do list is running your life and your brain feels like it has 72 tabs open… this episode is for you.

In today's kickoff to the Automation for the Intentional Woman series, I'm helping you start small but powerfully: by building systems around your chores, monthly and annual responsibilities, and your digital life — so your mind can breathe again.

In this episode, I'll walk you through:

• How to delegate and automate everyday household tasks

• My exact process for tracking recurring monthly and annual life admin

• Simple ways to clean up digital clutter (without overwhelm)

• The mindset shift that changes everything when it comes to systems

This is about reclaiming your energy — not for hustle, but for what really matters. Let's start building a life that works for you, not against you.

Trust your intuition like it matters—because it does.

Have you ever felt a quiet nudge to do something—but ignored it, overthought it, or talked yourself out of it?

In this episode, I share a powerful mindset shift that completely changed how I relate to my intuition. I talk about how ignoring our gut instincts is a lot like asking our kids to do something three times before they respond—and how we accidentally teach ourselves that our inner voice doesn't matter.

I'll walk you through how to:

• Tell the difference between fear and true intuition

• Rebuild self-trust after years of second-guessing

• Strengthen your decision-making muscle in everyday moments

• Live more in alignment with peace, clarity, and purpose

Whether you call it intuition, the Holy Spirit, a gut feeling, or soul wisdom—this episode will help you recognize it, trust it, and respond the first time.

Let's talk about the quietest voice in your life that just might be the most powerful one.
