In this episode of The ScaleSmart Podcast, I’m reflecting on the biggest lessons 2025 taught me and what I’m intentionally leaving behind as I step into 2026. This year stretched me in ways I didn’t expect. I found myself listening to too much outside noise, questioning what I already knew, and chasing advice that pulled me out of alignment. These lessons didn’t break me, but they did force me to get honest about where I stopped trusting my intuition and started playing small.

I’m also sharing my grounded predictions for private practices, marketing, and business in 2026. This conversation is about rebuilding self-trust, simplifying your business, and showing up in a way that actually feels sustainable and real again.

In this episode, I talk about:

• Why overconsuming information and staying in student mode can quietly stall your growth
• Letting go of the idea that there’s a secret you’re missing and learning to trust your own experience
• What hiding, perfectionism, and fear of judgment cost you in business and visibility
• Why authenticity, simplicity, and real connection will matter more than ever in 2026

If 2025 left you feeling disconnected from your instincts, overwhelmed by outside advice, or unsure of your next move, this episode will help you slow down, come back to yourself, and move into 2026 with clarity, confidence, and momentum.
