What do you hold onto when life tilts? Jax opens her heart about losing her mom and the calm that came from love, faith, and being present every day. That moment reshaped how we think about time and priorities, and it frames a practical blueprint for building a life that respects what matters most.

We move from reflection into action with a clear New Year reset: a belief audit, a values check-in, and a full digital declutter. Jax shares her multi-planner system—daily schedule, finances, content, curriculum, and wellness—so each lane of life has a home. Then we walk through her 3:30 a.m. workday routine for 2026, designed for midlife energy and focus: a gentle wake-up with visualization, hydration with lemon, and a supplement stack tailored to gut health, cellular energy, skin, and inflammation support. Movement layers in smart: vibration plate, Bend app stretching, 100 kettlebell swings, either strength and lunges or Zumba, and a walking pad session that pairs steps with learning.

Breakfast stays savory and steady with protein, fiber, and veggies, followed by a skincare sequence that prioritizes vitamin C, niacinamide or double serum, rich moisture, and daily SPF. Jax journals with prompts to set intention, packs lunches for herself and her son, and turns the commute into study time with audiobooks and podcasts. Throughout, the theme is simple and strong: systems free attention; attention fuels love and growth. The routine is a living template that will evolve with upcoming bloodwork and functional medicine insights, proving that consistency is kind when it stays flexible.
