A few months ago, I reached out to a successful businesswoman I didn't know and asked if she'd meet me for coffee. She said yes. She gave me an hour of her time...a complete stranger. And it wasn't what we talked about that changed everything. It was how I felt walking away from that conversation. Like anything and everything was possible. That feeling of pure possibility completely shifted how I'm approaching 2026. And after listening to this episode, I don't think you'll set traditional resolutions either. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the 3-step framework I'm using to create lasting change in my life and health. No willpower required. No restriction. No shame. You'll discover: ✨ Why 80% of resolutions fail (and the research that proves it) ✨ What beacons are and why they work when resolutions don't ✨ How to calibrate your nervous system so your body stops fighting you ✨ The lies you're telling yourself that are keeping you stuck ✨ My personal story about integrity, alcohol, and standing in my power This isn't about perfection. It's about alignment. It's about becoming the woman you already are underneath all the "shoulds." Want all 10 steps?
