What really happened behind the scenes this year?

In this special crossover episode, my beautiful biz bestie Mel Daniels, host of The Powerful Content Podcast, and I have an honest and reflective chat about what 2025 looked and felt like for both of us, in business and in life.

We sat down with a list of big-hearted questions to explore what we’ve learned, what we’ve let go of, and what we’re carrying into 2026 with fresh intention.

This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s a real conversation between two friends, navigating the mess, the magic, and the middle bits of business with honesty, a few laughs, and full permission to go deep.

In this conversation, Mel and I discussed:

• The moments that reminded us why we chose this business journey in the first place
• What we’ve each let go of this year — and how it created more ease and alignment
• How we’ve grown beyond the numbers (and what growth really looked like for us)
• Our soundtracks for 2025
• The resistance we've faced and what it has taught us, and what we’re intentionally bringing into 2026 — and how we want it to feel
