2025 was a year of contrast.
A year where I witnessed profound inhumanity while also being held by some of the most beautiful humans I’ve ever known. A year where grief and gratitude sat side by side, sometimes uncomfortably, sometimes hand in hand.
It was the year I stopped asking what if and started saying why not. I wrote. I created. I worked harder than I ever had. I made mistakes, fell down, got back up, and kept going anyway. I learned how to listen as deeply as I speak. I let myself love fully, lose honestly, and trust the process even when it didn’t make sense yet.
This journey — the writing, the podcast, the stories that eventually became a book — didn’t come from certainty. It came from showing up. From choosing curiosity over fear. From believing that meaning lives in the in-between moments: the quiet realizations, the heartbreaks, the laughter, the stillness, the sparks.
As this chapter closes and another opens, one thing is clear:
I’m no longer dimming my light to make sense of anyone else’s expectations.
2026 is about shining.
Period.
