Embrace the Journey. Take the Leap.

Dear EmpowHer Friends,

I didn’t jump because the road was easy, I jumped because it was mine. I could see the road ahead: the turns, the climbs, and the moments that would ask more of me. I chose movement anyway.

It’s New Year’s week, and everywhere you look someone is talking about goal setting. New plans. New rules. New versions of ourselves.

But here’s the truth for me: There is no New Year, New Me.

There’s just me - more aligned, more honest, and more willing to move forward with what I've already begun. In fact I have had a workshop called Brand New You for years - one on realignment to self once you’ve lost your way and sold out to other things, companies, or people.

We’ve just come through a year of shedding ... Snake energy: releasing old identities, outdated expectations, and quiet ways of abandoning ourselves.

Now we’re stepping into Fire Horse energy: not just momentum, but aligned, courageous movement. Fire Horse doesn’t ask us to plan more, it asks us to move in truth, visibly and fully expressed.

Momentum: this is the way for me.

And momentum isn’t about starting over, it’s about tuning into the courage to continue. To stay devoted to what’s already alive instead of chasing something new just because it’s January.

As I look toward 2026, I keep asking myself:

Do we really need another goal?

Or do we need to get aligned?

Don’t get me wrong, you know I believe in goals, but goals only work when they’re supported by strong rituals, habits, and routines. That foundation is what creates sustainable success. Alignment plus daily practice is what actually carries vision forward.

I’m not naïve.

I’m choosing courage.

This year isn’t about avoiding obstacles, it’s about meeting them fully expressed. It’s about trusting and embodying what’s already been placed before us, and moving with it.

Momentum doesn’t mean everything is smooth, it means we stop waiting for certainty before we move. It means alignment turns into action.

That’s the energy I’m stepping into as we head into the new year, and it’s the energy I’m inviting you into, too.

Because momentum isn’t built by willpower alone, it’s built through practice, consistency, and commitment - to you! Through breath, when your nervous system needs grounding. Through vision, when the path feels foggy. Through community, when you don’t want to walk it alone.

Three Key Ways to Build Momentum in January:

• Breathwork sessions to regulate, release, and reconnect to your body

• Visioning experiences to clarify where you’re headed, and why 

• Community gatherings and membership spaces for support and accountability

• Workshops and events designed to help you move — not just reflect

You don’t need a perfect plan...you don’t need to have it all figured out.

You just need to choose movement over delay.

Truth over comfort.

Presence over autopilot.

If you feel that quiet nudge, the one that says this year I move differently, I’d love to walk alongside you.

Let this be the year you don’t talk yourself out of momentum.

The road may twist.

But you are more ready than you think.

It’s time. Both feet in. Let the road shape you, and let the momentum carry you. Just jump.

Be well. Do well.

All my best,

PS - I heard answers from a few of you after the question I posed in my email last week, but I am not merely saying it I mean it - after 25 years of various coaching, I care, and I’m curious! 

What is one thing you want to do, feel, or experience in the coming year?

One desire. One devotion. One truth you're ready to honor.

Write back and tell me! Let me know so we can walk toward it together!
