I’m Not Even Mad About It
If there’s one thing I’ve learned this past year, it’s that creating fake deadlines and piling unnecessary pressure on myself doesn’t serve me anymore. I’m done forcing myself to fit into timelines I’ve made up—because guess what? I created them, and I can change them.
Family First: Building a Life That Includes What Matters Most
This year, one of my top priorities is spending meaningful, quality time with my family. Moments like this remind me why I’m making changes and focusing on what truly matters.
When I started building my website, I knew deep in my heart that I wanted to create workout programs that are affordable and deliver great results. Programs for people just starting their fitness journey and for those looking for something fresh. I had decided to start filming the first program for release in February.
But as I sat down today, I realized that probably isn’t going to work for me. I’m starting my certification, taking on a part-time job as a PE teacher for the local homeschool co-op, and adapting to a whole new routine.
In the past, I would’ve been so mad at myself for not following through with what I said and announced. But I’ve learned to give myself grace and recognize that most of the stress we experience is self-created. So, I’m putting this project on the back burner for now. I believe it will come to life after I earn my personal training certification, which I hope to complete by the end of 2025 or early 2026.
Creating Calm to Show Up Fully for My Kids
My number one priority in 2025 is my mental health and limiting stress. When I’m calm and grounded, I can be the mom I want to be—and that helps my kids feel calm and regulated too. Because a deregulated mom can easily lead to deregulated children, and I’m working to break that cycle for them and for me.
There’s so much I’m working on right now, and I’m choosing not to feel bad if plans shift. My top priorities are my own well-being, my health coaching certification, my family, and my relationship with my husband.
2025 is going to be a year of growth and transformation, and I’m proud of all the work I’ve done in 2024 to prepare myself to embrace changes like this. Life is too short to beat ourselves up over self-imposed timelines.
Putting in the Work, One Step at a Time
Growth and change don’t happen overnight, but showing up for myself is a priority I won’t compromise on. Every step I take, every drop of sweat, brings me closer to becoming the best version of myself—for me, my family, and my goals.
