how I am entering 2026 + re-meeting my dream self
My family is outside and I am alone with my words and thoughts for the first time in a minute.
Our holidays have been pure magic and intensity all braided into one - and these next few days feel like a gift of slowness, zero real plans and space to just savor and integrate.
After we got home last night and I got myself into a very salty bathtub, I felt a little spark...
A jolt of excitement and anticipation for what's already in the works for 2026.
As I was falling asleep, I set an intention to receive clarity on what is most relevant for me to bring to my community in this space between 2025 & 2026 and I was delighted to wake up with the exact words I know I needed most...
You know you can do this right? Just ask your subconscious self to give you information in your sleep...
What came through this morning was too good...I couldn't wait to share it with you!
Here it is straight from the pages of my journal:
The biggest block for the clients that I coach is not a lack of clarity in their vision, it's a lack of clarity for how it's going to happen given the circumstances of their present life/business.
At the intersection of their current patterns, money stories and perceived challenges lives a complicated web of beliefs that set off the signal, "I'll believe it when I see it" - conditions galore!!! - Even though they know that this is not how it works!
This simple contradiction IS the block, in and of itself.
So what's the fix, then?
1. Radical clarity on the ULTIMATE outcome you'd like to experience - you CANNOT skip this part!!!!
Yes, if the dream is in you, it's for you - 2026
2. Moving with conviction, the wind at your back, the KNOWING that the dream IS the proof.
3. Living as if it's in progress and every day you are getting closer to it - because it is and you are.
As I lay in bed looking up at the slat board ceiling and loft with the hickory slide in and out ladder that we designed and built from our ideas...
I was reminded that this is how it works.
And the needing to know how is the hitch in the giddy-up of our wild visions and dreams.
Read that one more time...
Our need to know HOW!?....is the condition that's holding us back!!!
But there's an additional rub I see everyday showing up for my clients...
Our overtaxed and exhausted systems.
Our past "failures."
Our inability to trust that life has got us because we've learned to hold it ALL, ourselves..
This is where the real work emerges...
And the soft place to land is in learning how to not only trust life, but to trust your life.
To learn how the how works in your world, your energy system and your story.
To learn that there is a completely different way of EXISTING in physical reality...
One that looks like ease, living out your wildest dreams in every moment (yes, for real), more money than you've ever known (hello, resources!), ease-filled relationships, motherhood, client magic and so much more...
I know this because I live it and learned it in real time.
When we built our house here on the lake and the Tree Haus, when we adopted our son, conceived our daughter through IUI on our first try, when we decided to quit our jobs to go all-in on these businesses, when I wrote the books and so many other things in between - the only thing that got us through was learning how to trust our dreams, themselves, as our directions for what's next.
It's honestly almost comical to look around at everything that's here now and deny that this method of opening to what's next, trusting our dreams doesn't work.
And when I do forget - because I do, sometimes - life reminds me!
So here's the offering for us all in these often hazy, in-between and fruitful days:
1. Sit down with a blank page and write down what it is you really desire.
I mean the real thing - the dream that makes no sense - the thing that feels way way out of reach and impossible right now. Write it all down on the page without the obligation to have to make any of it happen.
I need you hear me say this: Your unapologetic dreamer is the most important person in your life right now.
2026 is going to feel like a Ground Hog day version of 2025 if you can't give her the space to say the real things out loud somewhere.
Want space to do this in real time? I am hosting a free workshop on 12/31 - click here to join.
2. Take one small action on something you wrote down.
This could be researching how to publish a book on KDP
This could be messaging that coach you've always wanted to work with to see about an Intensive.
This could be sitting down with your January calendar and mapping out your content and launch plans.
It could be setting the date for a free workshop or booking those plane tickets.
This is all yours to do and celebrate!!
3. Move, Live, Speak, Act AS IF it's inevitable from here on out.
Because it is once you take your dreams seriously.
And so many people I talk with are non-committal to their visions because they understand what it means if they decide to go all-in.
They could "look silly" if it doesn't come to fruition - which is just code for "I'm scared to go all-in."
They could "fail" - which is code for learning what next thing to try and deciding that you're going to keep going.
They could get even closer to their desired reality!
Here's a short exercise for you to try...
Let's say, you want to increase your monthly revenue by 10% - you can calculate what that looks like in exact numbers, reverse engineer it to get your monthly numbers and decide what that looks like in your business/offers.
I created a spreadsheet called the Right Number Tool you can use to simplify. Click here to access it.
You can get even more specific with this tool to look at how it breaks down into your hourly or PER participant rate to get more data on how to strategize your next moves.
Taking action like this is the classic: "Call Your Shot and Move Like it's Going to Happen" portion of today's message!
Like my client Sarah who just joined ELEVATE on December 1st and declared that she would land 2 more clients to help her finish paying for the investment in full and SHE DID IT!
My favorite part was messaging her and saying, "If you can call your shot for 2 more clients, that means you can call your shot for that full client roster we've been talking about for 2026?!"
When you really get that you are the CREATOR of your personal reality - yes, in co-creation with God/Spirit/The Universe, of course!! - you are dealing with a completely different deck of cards.
When you LIVE this paradigm of reality - the old rules need not apply...
And yes, you will confuse people...
But mostly because your ability to rapidly realize your dreams feels like something out of a storybook.
And when people ask you how you do it - you can tell them - I decided to trust my dream and live as if it were the only option.
Because for those of us reading these words right now - it is.
Oooooo that feels so good to say, doesn't it?
Ok, my husband is pulling my children behind the tractor in a sled so I could have the space and time to sit down and write to you.
I am still in my pjs and the forest is calling me.
I love you.
I see you.
I am with you...
And I can't wait to dream with you in the New Year!
PS - If 1:1 mentorship or an intensive is on your wish list - now would be the time to schedule your Breakthrough Chat with me.
We're doing some really epic things in 2026 and I can't wait to dive in with you!
Take good care of you, love.
