142. 2026 State of the Union: Habits, Routines, & Mindsets I’m Leaving Behind & What I’m Focusing On

142. 2026 State of the Union: Habits, Routines, & Mindsets I’m Leaving Behind & What I’m Focusing On

In this annual State of the Union episode, I’m sharing what’s officially in and out for me in 2026 - from habits and routines to mindset shifts, consumption patterns, and how I want my life to feel going into the new year. We talk about de-centering excessive scrolling, refining consumption, prioritizing sleep and mental health, and leaning harder into hobbies, creativity, and long-form content. I also share the wellness routines, lifestyle shifts, and creators that are inspiring me right now as I move into a slower, more intentional season.


This episode is less about resolutions and more about direction — what I’m choosing to give energy to, and what I’m consciously letting go of.


🎧 Topics include:

👉🏻 My 2026 “outs” (habits, patterns, and energy drains)

👉🏻 My 2026 “ins” (routines, hobbies, wellness, and creativity)

👉🏻 De-centering scrolling, drinking, and over-committing

👉🏻 Sleep hygiene, mental health, and early mornings

👉🏻 Analog hobbies, classes, and learning for joy

👉🏻 Creators I’ve been loving lately (on IG/TT)
