Welcome to Unstoppable Intentions, my special New Year Edition and the first solo episode of 2023. As we step into this fresh chapter, I'm sending you my heartfelt wishes for a year filled with happiness, health, and prosperity.

For years, I've embraced the power of vision boards and goal setting, and it's been fascinating to witness how my journey in these areas has evolved and flourished. But just as revealing has been reflecting on the gaps and moments of misalignment along the way. And you know what? That's okay—it's all part of the process.

The most important step was simply starting. Creating vision boards, setting goals, and moving forward—even imperfectly—has been transformational.

In this episode, I dive into four key areas to help you make 2023 your most intentional year yet:

1. Choosing Your 'Word of the Year' – A powerful anchor for your year's energy.

2. Intentions & Goal Setting – Creating clarity and direction.

3. Embodiment Boards – Beyond vision, stepping into being.

4. Navigating the Gap – Acknowledging blocks, resistance, and what's holding you back.

Are your plans, goals, and dreams truly in alignment for the year ahead? What's standing in your way? Together, we'll explore how to identify and overcome resistance so you can lean into your dreams—just as Oprah advises.

Let's create a year of unstoppable momentum, where intentions become reality. Are you ready? Let's begin.
