1. The Q1 Clock In: We kick off the new year with a concept I affectionately call the “Q1 Clock In.” This episode is all about resetting and preparing for the year ahead. By reviewing what worked last year, listeners can gain a clearer perspective on how to move forward. I embrace the idea of authenticity, stating that the podcast is all about having fun and enjoying the process.
2. Setting Intentions and Goals: I emphasize the importance of taking time to clean out your workspace and create a vision board. This practice isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about setting intentions for the year. I share her personal experience of creating an “ins and outs” list, which serves as a guide for what to focus on in 2026. This reflective process helps in identifying priorities and setting achievable goals.
3. Gentle Reminders for the Year Ahead: Throughout the episode, I presents a series of gentle reminders to inspire listeners. One standout piece of advice is to “book the trip.” Life is too short to wait for the perfect moment, and I’m encouraging listeners to embrace spontaneity. Additionally, I urges everyone to enjoy life’s simple pleasures, like swimming in the ocean or singing loudly.
4. The Power of Content Creation: I highlight the importance of posting content without fear of judgment. I share my personal journey with social media, explaining how trial and error have led to growth. By embracing vulnerability and sharing experiences, you can open doors to new opportunities and connections.
5. Embracing Adult Freedom: One of the more empowering messages I share is that as adults, we have the freedom to pursue our passions without limitations. Whether it’s starting a business or trying a new hobby, there are no rules holding us back. I also promotes her own business, Binxties, which supports local animal shelters, underscoring the joy of aligning passions with purpose.
6. Maintaining Presence and Connection: I touch on the importance of being present with loved ones and making meaningful connections. I encourage listeners to smile at strangers and lend a helping hand, which can lead to unexpected friendships and transformative moments in life.
7. Leveling Up: As the episode progresses, I discusses the concept of leveling up in various aspects of life, including personal and professional goals. I encourages listeners to keep their ambitions private, as this can protect personal peace and allow for focused growth.
8. Revisiting Childhood Joys: Finally, I share my journey of reconnecting with hobbies she loved as a child, such as photography. This reminder to embrace past passions fosters a sense of joy and fulfillment that can reignite creativity and enthusiasm in life.

As we embark on a new year, these insights serve as a powerful reminder to reflect, reset, and embrace opportunities that come our way. Whether it’s booking that spontaneous trip or sharing your authentic self online, every action contributes to a fulfilling year ahead.

Key takeaways include the importance of staying true to yourself, being open to new experiences, and creating genuine connections with others.
