The year didn’t go as planned.
Not even close.
There were months I felt behind, off-track, and quietly disappointed, not just with how things unfolded, but with myself for not handling them “better.”
I had plans. Timelines. Investments.
A very specific idea of how this year should look and feel like.
Instead, I was forced to slow down. Redirected. Asked to sit with discomfort I thought I had already outgrown.
Some days felt heavy. Other days, I looked productive on the outside and felt defeated on the inside.
And just like that, somewhere along the way, something shifted.
The year started taking things away. My attachment to certainty, control, outcomes, and the constant pressure to perform.
Detachment.
And in that emptying, it gave me something quieter and far more important: honesty.
Honesty with myself. About my limits. My needs. What I can no longer pretend doesn’t affect me. Admitting that I want different things now.
I was reminded, again, that growth isn’t always expansion.
Sometimes it’s subtraction.
This is the kind of inner work I now guide my clients through, not to fix themselves, but to come home to what actually fits.
It’s choosing fun without guilt.
Saying no without over-explaining.
Prioritizing what feels alive in my heart.
Decluttering things, expectations, and people.
This wasn’t the year of loud wins or visible milestones.
Yet somehow, it still felt like one.
Because it was the year I built inner ground. The kind you stand on when life takes the lead.
So no, it didn’t go as planned.
And maybe that’s the point.
It gave me clarity.
And a deeper, quieter trust in myself.
And that feels like solid ground.
And if this year felt familiar to you; the slowing down, the unlearning, the quiet recalibrating, you don’t have to navigate it alone.
2026, let's go 🔥
