  • What I'm Leaving in 41 And Welcoming in 42!
    Jun 4 2025

    In this special birthday episode, I’m reflecting on the lessons, growth, and shifts that came with year 41 — and the bold intentions I’m carrying into 42. Inspired by the quote from Ed Mylett, “The greatest gift we give ourselves is to be a different version each year,” I’m sharing what I’ve chosen to leave behind: limiting beliefs, small vision, and waiting for “someday.” And more importantly, what I’m now embracing — discipline with grace, bold alignment with my future self, and living the big vision daily.

    takeaways

    • Your authenticity is your superpower.
    • It's essential to leave behind limiting beliefs.
    • Don't shrink your vision; aim for bigger goals.
    • Building a community is crucial for growth.
    • Health and well-being should be prioritized over perfectionism.
    • Courage is necessary for taking bold steps.
    • Living in the present can open new opportunities.
    • Inspire others by sharing your journey.
    • Focus your energy on what truly matters.
    • The best years are always ahead.


    If you’re in a season of becoming, this one’s for you. Let’s grow, evolve, and step fully into who we’re meant to be.
