Creation and flow were my words of 2024 which felt like a building year, a year of me creating the habits of a brand new person. A person who trusted herself, a person who shed weight physically, spiritually and emotionally. A person who bet on herself and owned her true essence. The armor and the masks were slowly dissolving and I could see them clearly. The illusions were coming to light and heading into 2025, I felt free and light. I felt aware and my heart was expanding. A little less protected than it had been before. I thought I was heading into a phase of embodiment and integration.

I chose the word LIVE for 2025, the year of the snake. I had no idea that living meant meeting more shadows. It meant shedding old patterns that no longer served. It mean more trusting and less controlling. Curiosity over judgment. It has felt like God asking me, “Do you actually really want this?” And reminding me that the price of my new life, is going to cost me my old one. The same awareness’s resurfaced but this time clothed in new scenarios and some new characters. Living has become integration for me. No more digging up, just practice with a force of movement to catapult into my next timeline.

A pattern that showed up consistently for me in 2025 has been this belief of everything being hard. Love, rest, motherhood, friendships, weight loss, money- you name it. Performance was my “go-to” survival tactic that my mind, body and spirit were asking me to shed this year. It wasn’t working for me any longer and it showed up consistently throughout the year. My job has been a whirlwind of change, relationships have shifted, my weight loss journey has been just that- a journey. Ups and downs, heavy and light.

I want to thank this year for showing me that living has meant life. It revealed to me that challenges will arise and I will be resilient and dance through them from a different lens- softer, grounded, more curious and open. The work lies in pausing, feeling, loving and setting struggles free. Confidently trusting that all will be okay and that all is working in my favor always as I continue to evolve. I won’t always be zen. I won’t always live in peace. I won’t always be positive or happy even. I won’t always have it all figured out. I may take a couple steps backwards and mess up. The beauty of this life is experiencing all of it. Feeling all of it and being all of it. 2025 has been a testament to my growth, my clarity, my alignment and gratitude for all versions of me that have gotten me this far.

As I embark on the new year, 2026 is not a year of proving- it is a year of ease. A year of becoming with grace, love and compassion for myself.
