What Are We Doing?
We’re you able to hit all of your goals in 2025?
How about your fitness goals?
Were your resolutions kept?
This is why I hate all of the chatter around New Year’s. I don’t want a new me- it’s taken a lifetime to feel comfortable in my skin. I don’t want new habits- I can barely cling to my old ones.
What I do- what I have always done- is reflect on the previous year, take stock of what brought me pleasure or made me happy, and consciously try to make space for more of that. This year? It’s nail polish. I have discovered “nail concealer” and I feel SO pulled together when I wear it!!!
Also, you know what else I think about more often when my nails are painted with “nail concealer”? Keeping them hydrated. I use lotion more frequently which in turn means I don’t have hangnails to play with and destroy my cuticle beds. It’s like a spiral of positive effects. This one small act unconsciously leads to other small acts of care.
And this is what I hope for you: to fill the crevices of your life with all the care you can give yourself. Whether that comes from running, or Pilates, or reading, or allowing yourself to wear those fancy pajamas you have been saving or that nice handbag that lives in a box- if it makes you happy, I hope you do so much of it in 2026 your heart explodes!
Because honestly, it’s the little things that are gonna get us through all the big things that will come with another year.
If you are having trouble finding or identifying your happy, hit me up in Office Hours. (Click the word "office hours" to book!).
You are coached. You are loved. We are winning....by Daring to Do it all over again next year.
As always, I am so, so grateful that you are here, with me. I appreciate you more than you know.
❤️❤️❤️💙💙💙
This Month’s Workouts

I clicked on Maintain and it gave me Rebuild. Help!!!
I’m with you on the hands! Lotion and nice nails! 💅🏼
Yay to pretty hands!! I’m just happy that 2025 is over. I battle thru every obstacle placed in front of me. I want to be more consistent with taking care of me. I will be more consistent with running and it will be complimentary to lifting - my new joy.
