Ready for 2026 to be YOUR year? Check out my holiday discount on coaching! 🎁

If the idea of reflecting on your year or setting New Year’s resolutions feels overwhelming, or you’re not quite sure where to start, this episode offers a refreshingly simple approach.

Inspired by a blog post I read by Tim Ferriss, this simple year-in-review ritual can help you gain real clarity without big worksheets, long journaling sessions, or complicated systems. All it takes is about 20 minutes and a look at your calendar.

In this episode, I discuss:

🔸 Why traditional goal-setting and year-end reviews can feel so overwhelming

🔸 How to use your calendar as a mirror for your real life, not your ideal life

🔸 How to identify the people, activities, and commitments that created positive emotions versus negative emotions

🔸 Why emotional data matters just as much as productivity data

🔸 How to create simple “more” and “less” lists that guide your next year

🔸 How this quick reflection can help you avoid repeating patterns that leave you exhausted

🔸 How this process supports busy women managing work, kids, schedules, and endless logistics

This approach is especially powerful for women carrying a heavy mental load. Your calendar quietly holds the story of your year, including the invisible labor, appointments, sports, caregiving, and commitments that don’t always get acknowledged. When you review it with intention, you gain honest feedback without shame or pressure.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, reflect gently, and move into the new year with intention instead of overwhelm.

If you finish this review and realize you want support turning clarity into real change, coaching is designed to help you take those “more” and “less” lists and turn them into habits, boundaries, and systems that actually stick. Information on coaching and the limited-time holiday special is below.

If you’re craving a simple, calm, and healthy holiday season this year, this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air. December can easily turn into a whirlwind of shopping, decorating, scheduling, cooking, budgeting, and carrying the mental load for everyone. But a simpler holiday doesn’t mean a less meaningful one. In fact, simplifying your season might help you show up with more joy, presence, and energy than ever.

In this episode, I talk through how the holidays feel different for everyone and why it’s important to stay aligned with what matters most to you, not what social media or cultural pressure tells you to do. Gifts might not be your love language. Clutter might drain you. A tight holiday budget might matter deeply. And if so, this season can feel heavy. You’re not alone.

We’ll walk through the hidden mental load women often carry this time of year and why it’s so easy to slip into holiday overwhelm. You’ll learn why it’s completely normal to feel stretched thin, and why doing “all the things” doesn’t automatically create a more meaningful December.

Most importantly, we talk about the power of simplifying. Simplifying your holiday season can lighten your mental load, protect your energy, and help you create a calmer, more connected experience for you and your family. I’ll share several practical ways I’ve simplified over the years and how each one has helped me show up with more presence.

In this episode I cover:

🔸 Why the mental load increases for so many women in December

🔸 How financial pressure around gifting impacts stress and energy

🔸 Why clutter, overspending, and holiday expectations feel overwhelming

🔸 How simplifying helps you stay aligned with what actually matters

🔸 The connection between simplicity, presence, and meaningful holiday memories

🔸 Personal examples of simplifying gifts, budgeting, meals, and holiday traditions

🔸 How delegating holiday responsibilities can reduce stress and strengthen connection

🔸 A simple Google Sheets system for staying organized and on budget

🔸 Why elegant simplicity can bring more joy than over-complicating (thanks, Ina Garten!)

🔸 How to identify your own holiday tipping point so you stay on the enjoyment side

If you’ve ever found yourself feeling tired, stretched thin, or overwhelmed by holiday expectations, this episode will give you clarity, a shift in perspective, and a breath of fresh air. A simple, calm, and healthy December is absolutely possible for you.

If you’ve ever wanted to change something in your life but you just can’t seem to follow through, this episode is going to connect a few important dots. Most people know exactly what to do when it comes to eating healthier, moving consistently, and taking better care of themselves. The real struggle is staying consistent in the middle of real life.

In today’s episode, we talk about why motivation and willpower aren't the issue and what the real missing piece is when you keep starting over. You’ll learn why external accountability creates momentum, why it’s helpful during busy seasons of life, why it's especially important in the early stages of behavior change, and how it takes you from good intentions to real results.

You’ll also learn how structure, support, and accountability help you follow through long enough to see the changes you’ve been wanting, and why this kind of accountability feels encouraging, not intimidating. We’ll talk about how accountability looks in real life, why it works so well for women juggling work and family, and how it gives you clarity, confidence, and the follow-through you’ve been craving.

We’ll also get into why it’s easy to invest in our kids’ growth and development but so hard to invest in our own, even though our health and energy have a massive impact on everyone around us. If you’ve been trying to do things on your own for months or years, today’s episode will give you a new perspective on what actually helps you stay consistent.

You’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of how to gain momentum, and what to put in place to create sustainable habits that last.

In this episode, we talk about:

🔸 Why information isn’t the problem and why implementation is

🔸 Why motivation fades and why accountability creates consistency

🔸 How external accountability helps you follow through when life gets busy

🔸 Why new habits feel hard in the beginning and how support makes them stick

🔸 How coaching gives you structure, support, and clarity

🔸 What accountability looks like inside a real coaching relationship

🔸 Why planning your week helps your decisions feel easier

🔸 How simplifying your meals and habits makes consistency more realistic

🔸 Why your health impacts your patience, energy, productivity, and family

🔸 Why your goals matter just as much as your kids’ goals

🔸 How to know if it’s time to try something different instead of going it alone

If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or frustrated with your lack of progress, this episode will help you understand what’s likely been missing and what to do next.
