I've just posted the first of many messages on Substack. Have a listen. I hope this first day of the first month in a "1" year inspires you to create, move, shake... to find joy in the messy middle... to stop and savour each and every win... ...and to recognize and celebrate how truly magnificent you are.

I was striving to write something polished and festive. Instead, I’ll say this: I’m grateful you’re here. This community matters to me more than I can properly put into words, especially at this time of year. Wherever you are today, I hope there’s a moment of ease, rest, or kindness toward yourself. See you all next year!

Are you ready for the year of "new beginnings"? That's what 2026 is all about. As we close out 2025 with grace and gratitude, we'll be kicking off a new year of coaching calls with "The Road to 2026" on Wednesday, January 7 at 12pm ET. Be sure to register so you don't miss it. This will be a working call and I'll be uploading the workbook in this conversation the last week of December - so you can all get a headstart.

Huge thanks to @Dee Stewardson for walking us through the Thayer Matrix last week. Such perfect timing as we go into a new year with knowledge and awareness around this tool that helps us better manage our energy and tasks. The replay is available here for paid Badass Coaching members. You get an opportunity to apply your own tasks into the quadrant and give your nervous system some much-needed attention. It's been a game-changer for me! Dee uses this in her Wildly Well workshops. Check out the next workshop here - better yet, gift it to that hard-to-buy person in your life!

Our last monthly coaching call of 2025 features our very own @Dee Stewardson. Dee will introduce us to the Thayer Matrix, a self-regulation tool that helps us determine if energy and tension are aligned with the task at hand. With the holiday season upon us, this is especially great timing. Hope to see you all there! Please note the time change from 12pm to 10am. Monthly Coaching Call - The Thayer Matrix Date: Wednesday, Dec 3, 2025 Time: 10am (replaces Power Hour).
