Happy New Year, Sunshine

Welcome 2026

Hello,

Happy New Year! Welcome to 2026.

As one chapter closes and another begins, I wanted to share some reflections with you.

2025 - A Year of Love & Growth

Highlights

January: Marrying my life partner
February: Reunion with work besties in San Francisco, 1+ year after leaving corporate
March: Celebrating our marriage with our closest friends and family
April: Besties visiting me in my new home
May: Mini honey/baby moon along the California coast
June: Preparing baby things
July: Poolside BBQs with family
August: Betting on myself by designing a new programme and starting my coaching accreditation
September: Becoming a mum to a beautiful and healthy baby boy
October: Quality time with my nomad mum, watching her in her element as a grandma
November: Sunshine walks
December: First Warriors game with my family, making it to the Jumbotron (and a Warriors win!)

Each of these moments brought inexplicable feelings. Love, gratitude, excitement, nervousness, and so much joy.

But I want to remind you: these are the highlights of my year. There were also lowlights, moments of doubt, exhaustion, uncertainty, loss and sadness. Remember that most people share their wins and highlights, so please be gentle on yourself when comparing your life to what you see on social media. Your journey is yours alone.

2025 Taught Me...

The importance of adaptability and staying true to yourself no matter what comes up. Because even when you have a plan, things can dramatically change, and it's so important to know who you are so that you can navigate change in the best way for you.
