High achievers don’t need more goals—they need more integration.

A New Year, A Softer Kind of Beginning

When I was a newer coach, I loved the New Year.

It felt like a fresh page in a journal —> a clean slate, a chance to reinvent, to set bold intentions and move forward with momentum.

And I still love that energy. But this year feels different.

Over the past year, as I’ve gone deeper into presence, embodiment, and yin practices, I’ve felt a quieter pull — not toward doing more, but toward integrating what’s already happened.

As I’ve been scrolling through my photos and journals, I’ve found myself pausing:

• The birth of my nephew.

• The celebrations and ceremonies that followed.

• The trips with friends.

• Time with family.

• Moments of solitude.

• The courses I’ve taken.

• The lessons that shaped me in ways I didn’t fully absorb at the time.

And I’m noticing something I also see in so many of my high-performing clients…

We’re really good at filling our lives with meaningful experiences —> growth, goals, adventures, achievements, but we rarely slow down long enough to digest them.

To let them land. To let them change us.

So while part of me still loves the energy of a fresh start, another part of me is honoring this quieter invitation:

To reflect. To integrate. To let things marinate before rushing into the next thing.

If you’re someone who thrives on New Year momentum, I’m here for that too — and I’ll happily help you work through the beliefs that say, “I can’t have what I want,” or “I’ll fail again.”

And if you’re someone who feels called to slow down, soften, and reflect before moving forward, I’m right here with you.

Because integration is work.

Stillness takes courage.

And often, the deepest transformation happens in the pause.

Here’s to a year of honoring both momentum and meaning.

Happy New Year, 2026
