Join the New Year Reset! We start January 5th: https://mindin-my-wellness.captivate.fm/reset26
You don’t need a “new year, new you” moment to lean out and feel confident going into 2026. If you’ve made it through the busiest, messiest months of the year and you’re still here showing up, this coaching chat is your pause button. I’m walking you through how I would personally enter 2026 if my goal was to lean out without pressure, guilt, or starting over. This is about reflecting differently, noticing what actually worked, and using those small wins as your momentum instead of fixating on what wasn’t perfect.
In this final episode of the Holiday Eating Series, I guide you through three simple but powerful reflection questions that help you close out the year feeling proud instead of panicked. We talk about what habits felt easy and sustainable, what you can carry forward into the new year, and what you can finally leave behind in 2025, like guilt, perfectionism, and the constant pressure to do it all right.
By the end, you’ll feel calm, clear, and deeply reassured that you never stopped making progress and that the foundation you built this season is exactly what will carry you into your strongest year yet. Hit play and let’s finish this year on purpose.
