I'm sure you’ve probably heard the phrase, "It's not how you start; it's how you finish that counts." In today's episode, I'll be inviting you to make December the best month of your life and telling you WHY and HOW to do it.

As the holiday season approaches, many people create resolutions and personal goals for the new year. What I'd like you to consider is that how you finish the year will impact how you start off in the new year. One reason why most New Year's resolutions fail is because of the unproductive habits that we create (or fail to create) in December.

Whether you have financial or health goals, today’s show will help keep you on track to start the new year with momentum. If you challenge yourself to make December your best month ever, you'll be able to pursue and achieve every meaningful goal that you set for yourself with confidence.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Your achievements matter, but so do the moments with the people you care about
• You can’t control every result, but you can control the habits and processes that lead to success
• Small wins now build big momentum later
• The real win isn’t hitting the goal - it’s becoming the kind of person who achieves 
• Goals are great but never forget WHY you want to accomplish them

Last week, I shared a quote from Mark Groves on Instagram about reconciling our differences, especially in the context of voting and politics. Unsurprisingly, the responses varied—some resonated deeply, while others disagreed. 

And that's okay because it brought to light a truth I've been reflecting on all week: Love and understanding aren't conditional. They're not reserved for those who agree with us or share our worldview. Every single person is worthy of compassion, regardless of their background or beliefs.

In today's episode, you'll walk away with a simple question that will transform how you approach your relationships with friends, family members, or anyone with different views and opinions. 

This simple but powerful mindset shift will help you understand where they're coming from and empower you to show up with empathy, love, and understanding, even in the most challenging interactions. In a world that often feels very divided, this can help us create a ripple effect of kindness and understanding when it's needed most.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Seeing the world through unconditional love changes everything
• Everyone’s fighting their own battles, even if you can’t see them
• When someone’s being harsh, that’s when they need kindness the most
• People aren’t inherently good or bad - it all comes down to their choices
• Love won’t fix everything, but it works wonders for the struggles inside you

For those of you who follow me on Instagram, you may have seen the post I made on the morning of the US Election last week, long before the results were known. That post was about finding a positive way to move forward, no matter who won. 

Not surprisingly, it generated many comments and reactions, some positive and some negative, which is to be expected with any presidential election—especially this one.

Now that the election is over, and whether you are celebrating or mourning the results, I want to offer an empowering perspective on how we can accept reality exactly as it is, take personal responsibility for our lives, and move forward effectively. 

The only way I know how is by accepting reality exactly as it is and focusing on the things that are within our control. What other choice do you have? While politicians create policies, they don’t control your growth, your relationships, or your mindset. Only you have that power. 

So, I invite you to take a deep breath… and listen to this episode with an open heart and an open mind. I love you so much, and I sincerely hope today’s episode leaves you feeling at peace with the things you cannot change and empowered to focus your energy on the things that you can control. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• We all have more in common than we think
• Focusing on things outside of our control prevents us from moving forward
• The most important choice we make is how we show up each day
• Taking full ownership of your life is the first step to real change.

Last week, I shared the steps for creating an inner reality that’s in sync with who you want to be. This week, we’re taking it one step further and exploring how to build the life you truly want to live by understanding the connection between your inner beliefs and your ability to create your external reality.

I will walk you through the practical strategies that helped me escape from feeling unfocused, undisciplined, and unsuccessful to building a life I’m proud of. These are simple strategies you can start applying today in any area where you want to see change, whether it’s relationships, finances, or your health.

You’ll learn that creating a life you love doesn’t rely on perfect timing or bursts of motivation. It’s about consistently taking small steps each day that might seem insignificant but will gradually transform the world around you. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Get used to being uncomfortable, that’s where growth happens
• To have goals that matter, you need a clear picture of where you’re headed
• Every result you want comes from following a specific process
• Don’t get caught up in daily wins or losses. Trust the process
• What you believe internally shapes what you see externally
• Surround yourself with people and places that inspire and motivate you
