42 • The 5 things I focused on in 2025 that made all the difference.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE

This episode is a reflection on the five New Year’s Resolutions that I focused on in 2025—a year that felt less like running and more like crawling, but ultimately changed my life. Instead of pushing harder or chasing achievements, I chose to slow down and invest deeply in myself, even when it meant stepping back from my career, losing income, and spending real time and money on my health.

I share how prioritizing my physical and mental health, working on my marriage, building real friendships, asking for help, and allowing myself more rest and play became the foundation for everything else. These choices weren’t easy or exciting, but they brought me to a place of stability, clarity, and pride that I’ve never experienced before.

If you’re a “Good Girl,” “Martyr Mom,” or recovering perfectionist who feels guilty for slowing down and focusing on you, this episode is an invitation to rethink your New Year plans. Taking care of yourself isn’t falling behind—it’s the foundation that makes everything else possible.
