We’re in Week 3 of my 4-part mini series, The Up Level Reset: Four Simple Shifts for a Stronger 2026, created to help you (and me) head into the new year with more clarity, alignment, and self-trust.

Part 1 – The Focus Shift: How where you place your attention shapes your emotional world and relationships.
Part 2 – Upgrade Your Beliefs: Questioning the stories that limit you and choosing thoughts that expand what’s possible.
In this Christmas Eve episode, Part 3 – Courage & Trust, we’re talking about listening to your inner voice, laying down what you were never meant to carry alone, and taking aligned action toward the life that’s calling you in 2026.

In this episode, I talk about:

• The difference between all the noise of stress, obligation, expectations, and mental load, and the quiet inner voice of intuition that keeps nudging you toward what’s true for you
• The mental, emotional, and logistical load parents carry (especially moms), and the beliefs underneath it that keep you holding more than you were meant to hold
• What it looks like to choose courage over comfort in small, everyday ways: telling the truth, simplifying, asking for help, and taking steps toward what you really want
• How to take aligned action and treat your next steps as a partnership between you, your inner wisdom, and something bigger (life/the Universe/God) as you step into 2026

Journal Prompts for Part 3: Courage & Trust

1. Where have I been hearing a quiet inner nudge lately — about rest, change, creativity, boundaries, or next steps?
   What has that voice been trying to tell me?
2. What mental, emotional, or logistical loads am I carrying right now that feel especially heavy?
   What beliefs sit underneath those loads (for example, “If I don’t hold it all, everything will fall apart”)?
3. Where in my life am I choosing comfort over growth, even though a part of me knows I’m meant for something more?
   What is one small, courageous step I’m willing to take this week — even if I still feel nervous?
4. If I trusted that I was supported — by life, by the Universe, by something bigger, and by my own future self — what is one aligned action I would take as I move into 2026?
   What would it look like to say yes to that?

This week, I’m continuing my four-part mini series, The Up Level Reset: Four Simple Shifts for a Stronger 2026 created to help you start the new year feeling intentional and grounded.

This is Week 2, and we’re going a level deeper.
If last week was about where you place your attention, this week is about what you believe, about yourself, your life, your teen, and what’s possible for you in 2026.

I talk about how beliefs act like an invisible blueprint, how they shape your emotions and choices, and how to start rewriting the stories that keep you stuck so you can step into a more expansive version of yourself in the new year.

If you haven’t listened to Week 1: The Focus Shift yet, I recommend starting there first — this series is designed to build week by week.

In this episode, I cover:

• How beliefs quietly shape what you notice, expect, and believe is possible
• Why your current perception is often limited by past experiences and conditioning
• How to spot limiting beliefs in moments of stuckness or overwhelm and use bridge beliefs to shift into more supportive thinking
• A simple look at thought work and the CBT TEB cycle (Thoughts → Emotions → Behaviors → Results)
• Tools from Byron Katie, Martha Beck, and Brené Brown to question painful thoughts and choose a kinder, truer story for 2026

At its core, this is identity and belief work:
When you change the story, you change what becomes possible next.

Journal Prompts

1. Where in my life might I be seeing only a limited slice of reality right now? What is another, more supportive possibility I haven’t fully considered yet?
2. When I feel stuck, overwhelmed, or discouraged, what is the thought underneath it? What am I believing right now that is making this feel impossible?
3. Choose one stressful thought and walk it through Byron Katie’s questions, then write one turnaround that feels honest and helpful.
4. What’s a story I’ve been living inside lately — about myself, my teen, my relationships, or the future? What might be a kinder, truer, or more empowering story I want to bring into 2026?

If you’re feeling called to go deeper — for yourself, your teen, or your whole family — here are a few ways we can connect beyond the podcast:

• Coaching for Teens & Young Adults (Rise Up / Ignite)
• Parent Coaching & Support (Rooted in Connection)
• Wilderness Rites of Passage Trips

Each of these offerings is designed to support deeper confidence, emotional awareness, purpose, and connection — so you and your teen can step into 2026 feeling more grounded, empowered, and aligned.

In this first episode of The Up-Level Reset: Four Simple Shifts for a Stronger 2026, I’m kicking off a four-part mini series airing over the last four Wednesdays of 2025.

Lately, I’ve been feeling the weight of life: the grind, the to-dos, the heaviness of the world, and the emotional load of parenting and running a business. So this series is my personal reset too. I’m pulling out my tools, turning the page, and inviting you to do this with me.

This week is about the simplest shift that can bring the fastest relief: where we place our focus. When we stop scanning for what’s wrong and start noticing what’s right, in ourselves, in our relationships, in our kids, and in the world, everything starts to change.

What I Cover in This Episode:

I walk you through five powerful focus resets:

• Negativity bias: why your brain naturally locks onto problems and how that can distort how you see your life and your teen.
• Gratitude: a real mindset and nervous system shift that expands hope and capacity during hard seasons.
• The Circle of Control: how to reclaim your power by redirecting your energy toward what you can actually influence.
• Problem-scanning to solution-noticing: how to ask better questions that move you forward instead of keeping you stuck.
• The 5-minute affirmation challenge: a simple, neuroscience-backed way to rewire your focus and start your day grounded, optimistic, and connected to what’s possible.

I’m inviting you to join me in a short daily practice:
Listen to 5-10 minutes of affirmations or guided meditations each morning through the end of 2025. This is about training your mind toward self-belief, possibility, and what’s already working.

Journal Prompts:

1. What have I been training my brain to notice lately — and is that the reality I want to keep reinforcing?
2. What are three things that are genuinely going right for me right now, even if they’re small? What does noticing them change in my body and my mood?
3. What is one thing I can’t control that I’ve been carrying anyway? What is one thing I can control today that would help me feel more grounded?
4. What is one recurring stressor I’m ready to approach differently? What is one tiny, realistic solution I can test this week?
