YET is a small word with a powerful impact. It doesn’t deny reality. It doesn’t sugarcoat struggle. It simply leaves room for growth. When life feels hard, many of us speak in absolutes: - “I can’t do this.” - “This isn’t working.” - “I’ve tried everything.” - “I’m too old.” - “My body doesn’t respond anymore.” But watch what happens when you add one word: “I can’t do this… yet.” “This isn’t working… yet.” “I haven’t figured this out… yet.” That single word changes the entire conversation. Yet doesn’t promise instant results. It acknowledges that change takes time — especially in real life, in real bodies, in real seasons. In today’s world, where people feel stuck, overwhelmed, inflamed, tired, and discouraged, YET reminds us that progress is still possible — even if it’s slower, even if it looks different than it used to. A growth mindset isn’t about blind optimism. It's about staying open to the next step. YET creates space for: - Learning instead of quitting - Patience instead of frustration - Progress instead of perfection You may not be where you want to be —but you’re not done. YET Challenge (Good / Better / Best) Good:Pay attention to the words you use when you talk to yourself. Language shapes your emotional state and your future. Better:Today, add the word YET after negative thoughts or statements. Best:Practice adding YET all week — especially when you feel stuck, discouraged, or impatient. You don’t need to have everything figured out. You just need to stay open to what’s possible. *If you’re feeling stuck and telling yourself “this isn’t working” or “I’ve tried everything” — add one word: Yet. You don’t have to change everything overnight. You just need the right structure, support, and next step. My next Metabolic Edge System (MES) groups are starting again next Monday. This is for adults 50+ who want: - Better energy and digestion - Sustainable fat loss without extremes - Stronger habits and a calmer mindset - Real progress — even if it’s slower than it used to be

Have you taken time to reflect on 2025? Not just what went wrong — but your wins, your victories, and everything you’re genuinely grateful for? Have you also looked honestly at: - The obstacles you faced - The challenges that stretched you - The habits or patterns that held you back Reflection matters. In an ideal world, I would do some form of reflection daily — and when I do, I’m at the top of my game. I’m clearer, calmer, more grounded, and more aligned with how I actually want to live. This isn’t a new-age idea. I first learned this practice back in 2010 while taking a course at the Mercy Center, centered around The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius — a practice that’s over 500 years old, used by the Jesuits to cultivate clarity, discernment, gratitude, and alignment. Reflection is time-proven. It helps us: - Cut through the noise - Stay focused on what matters - Learn from the past without living in it - Make better decisions moving forward It also connects directly to what we talked about last week — EASE. My central theme for 2026 is EASE, and reflection is one of the most powerful tools I know to create it. When we pause to reflect: - Life feels less reactive - Decisions feel lighter - We stop repeating the same mistakes - We move forward with more intention and less force Reflection helps us live with clarity instead of chaos. Reflection prompts (take 5 minutes): - What went right for me in 2025? - What am I most grateful for? - What challenged me — and what did it teach me? - What do I want to do differently moving forward? If you’d like help slowing down, reflecting, and turning this into a clear plan for 2026, I’m hosting a Virtual Goal-Setting Session this Wednesday @ 4:30 PM PST, where we’ll walk through this together step by step. Here is the zoom link: Zoom I’m also opening another round of my 14- & 21-Day Detox for those who want a simple, structured reset — physically and mentally — as we head into the new year. It’s not a long-term lifestyle, but it can be a powerful way to reset habits and regain momentum.

Happy New Year 🎉 Let’s kick off 2026 with one of my favorite January rituals: Choosing your “word of the year.” Take a moment to think about it. What one word or phrase makes you feel energized, grounded, or hopeful for 2026? Think of it as your 2026 North Star — an intention that helps guide your health, your relationships, your work, and your life when things get busy (because they will). It doesn’t need to be profound or poetic. It just needs to mean something to you. Some client favorites over the years: ✨ Purpose ✨ Strength ✨ Focus ✨ Resilient ✨ Committed ✨ Empowered The choices are endless, but the goal is the same: 👉 Choose a word (or phrase, or even a verse) that brings you back to what matters most in 2026. Your simple challenge 1. Choose your word or phrase for 2026 2. Make it visible — mirror, sticky note, phone background 3. Use it as your compass when you feel distracted or overwhelmed Spend a little time on this. It often creates more clarity than any resolution list ever could. 👉 If you’d like, hit reply and send me your word. I truly enjoy seeing what people choose. A gentle option if you want a simple reset Some people like to start the year with a short reset — not as a long-term solution, but as a way to clear the noise, reduce inflammation, and reconnect with better habits before building something sustainable. If that sounds like you, I offer a 14- or 21-Day Detox that many clients use as an easy, cost-effective starting point. It’s not meant to be a forever plan — just a structured way to create awareness and momentum.

This year, I want to move with more lightness — less force, less stress, and more presence. More time with family, more travel, and fewer moments of feeling rushed or overwhelmed.

As things settle in the next few days and as the year comes to an end, take a pause & breathe to remember all of your wins in 2025. This will help you ground, reduce stress and finish this year with a bang. Have an amazing Christmas Eve.
