5 Things You Need to Stop Doing in 2026

It’s officially 2026—and this year, I’m choosing a different kind of New Year.

Instead of jumping straight into big goal-setting sessions and perfectly mapped-out plans, I’m leaning into something gentler: progress over perfection.

In this episode, I’m sharing a very real reflection on what this New Year has looked like for me—goal planning at the kitchen table with my four-year-old, rearranging our home to fit this season of life, and learning to release the pressure to do everything “the right way.”

We’re talking about:

Why your goals don’t have to be all-or-nothing to matterHow to let intentions guide you instead of restrict youFocusing on small, meaningful steps that move you forwardGiving yourself permission to build momentum slowly and sustainablyChoosing progress—even when life feels messy, full, or unfinished

If you’re stepping into this year craving clarity, peace, and a little more grace for yourself, this episode is for you. You don’t need more time or a perfect plan—you just need one small step forward.

✨ If this episode encouraged you, I’d love for you to share it with a friend who could use a little extra grace this New Year—or leave a quick review to help this podcast reach more hearts like yours. Your support means more than you know.

Here’s to a different kind of New Year. One rooted in intention, growth, and showing up exactly as you are. 💛
