If you’re already thinking you “didn’t do enough this year” or that you need to sprint through December to earn a clean slate… this episode is going to shut that noise down for good.

Because 2026 isn’t a resolution year.

It’s an experiment year.

We’re trading “New Year, New Me” hype for familiar evidence, simple wins, and a strategy your brain actually recognizes as doable. Reflection isn’t nostalgia—it’s data. And when you show your brain the receipts, confidence stops feeling like a mystery and starts feeling like momentum.

Inside this episode, we walk you through the Awesome Moments method, our Mastery Circle Hex Map, and the science behind why your wins matter more than motivation. If you want 2026 to feel aligned, repeatable, and less like starting from zero, this is your power move.

What we cover:

00:14 – Why Resolutions Don’t Work (and What to Do Instead)

01:04 – The Problem With “New Year, New Me” Motivation

02:56 – Reflection as Data: How to Build Confidence Through Evidence

04:01 – The “Awesome Moments” Method: Collecting Your Wins

05:16 – The Mastery Circle Hex Map Explained

06:11 – Soul Squad, Joy, Security & Growth: The Six Momentum Categories

10:36 – Why These Categories Work: The Science Behind Wins and Dopamine

12:05 – Your 15-Minute Reflection Ritual for 2026 Planning

12:53 – Jennie & Jeni’s 2025 Awesome Moments

🌟If you’re ready to build 2026 on evidence instead of vibes and anxiety, join us inside the CEO Reset Lab happening at the end of December. It’s your three-day reset to reflect, anchor, and design a year you can actually follow through on.

✨And if you want support, accountability, and a repeatable system for aligned action all year long, get on the waitlist for the next round of Mastery Circle.
