A Phoenix Rises – Goodbye 2024, Hello 2025!

As the curtain closes on 2024, I am overwhelmed with gratitude, reflection, and a deep sense of purpose. This year has been one of profound transformation—a year where I leaned into uncertainty, embraced change, and discovered new possibilities I hadn’t imagined before.

After 12 incredible years, I parted ways with my job. It was both a bittersweet farewell and a powerful awakening. In leaving that chapter behind, I stepped fully into my calling: empowering others to transform their lives and achieve their greatest potential. This leap of faith has been fueled by some truly extraordinary people.

To my mastermind group, your wisdom, encouragement, and collaboration have been game-changing. You’ve challenged me, inspired me, and helped me see what’s possible when we rise together.
To my accountability partner, your steady presence throughout the year has kept me focused and on track. Your belief in me has been a powerful catalyst for the growth and success I’ve experienced in 2024.
To Patty Aubery, your unwavering support and partnership have been a gift beyond measure. From shared projects to moments of heartfelt connection, you’ve reminded me of the power of authentic collaboration and what it means to live in alignment with purpose.

This year, I’ve had the honor of:

Launching new programs designed to help others rediscover their potential and achieve extraordinary success.
Collaborating with thought leaders like Jack Canfield to co-author impactful books that will touch countless lives.
Building a new business and brand that reflects my passion for transformation and personal development.
Working with YOU—clients, readers, and supporters—who inspire me daily with your courage to grow and thrive.

Looking Ahead to 2025: The Year of the Phoenix

My word for 2025 is Phoenix. Like this mythical bird, I’m embracing a year of renewal, resilience, and rising stronger than ever.

This is the year I continue building on the lessons of 2024, transforming challenges into opportunities.
This is the year I help more people find their spark, rediscover their dreams, and rise from the ashes of self-doubt or setbacks.
This is the year I live boldly, unapologetically, and with unshakable purpose.
As we step into 2025 together, I invite you to reflect on your own journey. What will you leave behind? What will you take forward? And what’s your word for the year ahead?

Let’s dream big, rise boldly, and create something extraordinary together. Thank you for being a part of my story. I can’t wait to see what we’ll accomplish in 2025.

Here’s to 2025: The Year of the Phoenix!

Reflect. Realign. Rise.
