As we get ready to wind down for the year, I’ve been thinking about what I want next year to truly feel like. And I’ve landed on one word that is going to shape everything I do in 2026.

Everywhere you look, it seems like people are talking about strategic planning and prepping for the new year. But my strategy for the Christmas break is the exact opposite. And I honestly think it’s the smartest thing I could do for both my business and my sanity.

As the year draws to a close, I’ve found myself reflecting on what can only be described as an absolute rollercoaster of a year. On the surface, things might look picture-perfect. My daughter Sunny is thriving, my marriage with Che is stronger than ever and our home feels like a little sanctuary. But let’s be honest, the real story is always in the messy middle. This year has tested me in ways I didn’t see coming, and I want to share the real behind-the-scenes with you.
