This isn't your typical New Year reflection. Join me for an unfiltered look at 2025, the year that shattered my expectations and rebuilt me from the ground up.

I'm sharing:

• The first four months of motherhood nobody talks about (spoiler: it wasn't Instagram-worthy)
• How becoming a mom exposed every toxic pattern I learned in childhood
• Why I finally changed my brand name after years of hesitation
• The moment I realized rest isn't lazy, it's essential
• Learning to speak up when I've spent a lifetime staying silent
• Navigating work, childcare collapse, and the impossible standards placed on mothers
• What I'm carrying into 2026 (hint: authenticity over perfection)
