2026 is officially more than half over, and before you spiral, this is scientifically the best week of the year to restart anything.

This is a full Mindful Monday: I take you through the halfway reset (why you're allowed to formally quit your January goals today, guilt-free), the moment at the 36km mark of the Gold Coast Marathon where I almost borrowed someone else's dream, and the psychology of "goal contagion" that explains why we chase things we never actually wanted.

Plus: the waning moon energy making this the quietest, most reset-friendly week of the year, the journaling research behind a 42% jump in goal achievement, and one word + one intention to carry into your week.

For my small business gals, something juicy is coming. Last week's freebie is live, go grab it.
