2026 Intention: Ease & Presence

2024 was the year I realized how much of myself I had been pouring into everyone else while quietly neglecting me.

I was giving, fixing, holding space, and leaving literally nothing for my own becoming.

2025 asked something different of me.

It asked me to pull my energy back home.

To stop overextending.

To stop carrying what wasn’t mine.

To let people figure things out without me softening the fall.

That shift was uncomfortable at first. Especially as someone who naturally pours into others. But choosing myself wasn’t selfish… it was necessary.

And in doing that, I didn’t lose anything. I reclaimed my power.

I started building the life I’ve always envisioned, but this time from a place of alignment instead of exhaustion.

Not starting over, just finally standing on the foundation I had already built.

And now, as I step into 2026, my intention isn’t to chase anything else.

For the first time, I’m learning how to live in the life I worked so hard to build.

To actually be present inside of it.

To breathe here.

To enjoy what’s already in my hands instead of constantly reaching for the next milestone.

I’ve spent so many years in motion, hustling, striving, building, becoming that stillness used to feel unfamiliar. Uncomfortable. But I’m learning that peace doesn’t mean I’ve stopped growing. It means I’m in alignment.

I’m done hustling to prove I’m worthy of the life I dreamed about.

I’m allowing that life to meet me where I am.

What’s meant for me doesn’t need to be chased. To chase implies it’s running away. 

It will arrive in its own time, in its own way and I’ll be ready to receive it without burning myself out in the process.

This season is about presence, ease, savoring, and about trusting that what I’ve built is strong enough to hold me now.

And for the first time in a long time… it is.
