Now let's dive into the second part of this two-part series, 25 valuable lessons I learned in 2025. Something really powerful I learned is this concept of being truly authentic to yourself and really understanding what that means. You always hear people say, oh, just be authentic, be authentic. But what does really being authentic actually mean?

To me, something I realized being authentic means I had to go back to my roots. I had to go back to my roots this year and literally go back to my childhood and think about what actually lit me up and made me happy and made me joyful and inspired and really excited to wake up every day. I lost myself in the noise of social media, of other people, of business things, of work things, of experiences. In the midst of being an adult, because that's what adulthood is, we tend to lose pieces of ourself due to stress, due to anxiety.

sometimes we just go through really hard things and we start losing pieces of ourselves and what truly makes us feel alive and like our most authentic self. And for me, 2025, a lot of it had to do with really going back to who I was when I was younger and what lit me up and what made me just happy. It's as simple as that. And there truly were so many moments this year where I had to lock in and tune out the noise and get quiet with myself and get quiet in my head and really think about what it was that defined my happiness. Like, what makes me light up? What makes me want to wake up in the morning and go create something? Because people at the end of the day, they know your frequency. They feel your energy. People feel how you feel about yourself. If you're not in alignment

and you're copying other people, you're constantly stalking other people's lives, wondering what other people are doing, trying to replicate other people's creativity, and you're lost about yourself and your own goals and your own identity. And you're not really following the right path because you're busy trying to copy someone else's life or trying to replicate things that aren't meant for you. People feel that. People can really feel when you're not being true to yourself. And I think I wavered a little bit. Okay, we all go through periods of time where we feel a little lost. It's human. And I feel like I wavered a lot with who I was becoming. This version of me that I thought I was and the woman that I was actually supposed to be and portrayed of the world.

You don't grow and expand and evolve in life if you're trying to be someone else. You expand and grow when you're more you. And that could look different for everyone. And that is going to look different for everyone because everyone is so unique and you're your own person. And you're never going to be able to fully replicate someone else. So you might as well just own who you are, how you were born, how you're supposed to show up.

And listen to your intuition and your inner voice that is guiding you in a specific direction. The point is when you're trying to force content or you're trying to force an identity or persona that you're just not, people know. And aside from other people, this is really about you making your life easier and getting into alignment so you can manifest faster. When you are in alignment, things start speeding up, amazing things start happening, miracle start happening overnight. You start feeling the changes. Everything starts really lining up for you when you embrace who you truly are, when you embrace your passion and your calling. If you keep getting met with insane amounts of resistance,

there's a high probability that there was something missing in your alignment. Something really valuable I took away from just getting quiet in my head and taking time to really understand who I am more. is people aren't subscribing to you. They don't want to be friends with you. They want to be friends with your frequency, where you're operating at, your energy. They feel your energy. We all feel people's energy.

If you meet someone and you're like, I don't really like their vibe, you just kind of know intuitively you're like, this isn't someone I would get along with or this isn't someone that's really ever going to be my friend because I just don't feel great around them, right? People feel your vibration and your energy. And if you're not in alignment

and you're not truly being authentic with who you are, people also feel that. They feel that you're not being true to yourself. So for me, I think having a public platform, having a podcast, this year was super reflective and introspective because I had to ask myself a question, am I showing up online? Am I showing up in my content on the podcast, on Instagram, on TikTok? Am I showing up the way I want to be showing up? Am I showing up the easiest way where I feel most authentically myself? And I fixed things and I corrected things. and I took time offline to really recalibrate and get ready for the new year and get ready to really embrace every single piece of who I am the most authentic way possible.

A moment I stopped trying to fit into a specific mold or try to make myself or shape shift a certain way, everything started clicking and aligning and my career started taking off again and my work started taking off again and my motivation came back because I remembered who I was and I wasn't looking at anyone else's stuff, I started focusing my energy on me and what I truly needed. The next thing kind of ties into this, but if it feels forced,

if something feels insanely forced all the time, it's not meant for you. I'm sorry to say, but the path of least resistance is often the right path. This doesn't mean things are always going to be 100% easy all of the time. I will say,

the more I've followed that rule in 2025, the path of least resistance, what feels good, what feels softer, what feels more gentle. That is usually what ends up being the best decision, even if it's a harder decision logically.

Let's just say it's the decision you make that gives you the most relief. And this is something I learned from studying Abraham Hicks and really listening to a ton of their videos. It's the thought or the feeling or the decision that makes you feel a little bit lighter. That is the path of least resistance. If you keep pushing and struggling and forcing on something and trying to make a decision at a force,

that's often a sign that you should hold off or you shouldn't make that decision. If relationships feel forced, if you're constantly the only one making an effort, if you feel like things are one-sided, if you feel like you dread hanging out or seeing certain people and you feel drained after seeing them, if you feel like you're pushing and struggling in your career and you hear an inner voice saying, you need to leave, you need to do things differently. 2025 taught me that that voice is guidance.

That voice really is guidance. And I had a voice in my head saying, rebrand yourself, rebrand yourself for so many months before I actually did it. So many people listening to the podcast obviously had crowned me as like this dating guru and date yourself instead and this girl has a dating podcast, blah, blah, blah. And all I could think about was that's just like not really how I wanted to find myself. And it kept replaying in my head over and over again. And I had to force myself to record episodes about dating solely and go into the studio and I had to talk about my exes and I was forcing content. And maybe you can't really tell in the episodes, maybe you can.

But my energy, I feel, has shifted and changed so much since I rebranded. I feel so much lighter. I feel so much better about recording. I feel like I really am myself now. There was a point in my life where I wanted to talk about breakups and healing and dating 24-7 because I knew it was necessary at that time in my life. However, after I rebranded, I felt way more aligned. And the jump to do that was scary.

It was definitely intimidating. It was definitely something that I sat with and wrestled with for a while. But once I made that leap and I was brave enough to change my name, I was like, that was actually the easiest decision ever, because now I can just be myself and I feel lighter. And that was the path of least resistance for me. So ask yourself, what is the path of least resistance in every area of my life? What am I forcing right now?

And what can I let go of? Or what can I do to make things a little bit easier and feel lighter for me? The next thing is, people always say you can't run away from your problems, but I do believe travel has significantly impacted and changed the course of my life. I have met so many amazing, incredible people from traveling. I have met people that have changed the course of my destiny. I have met some of the most amazing female friends that I now have from traveling, from jumping out of my comfort zone, from investing my money into travel.

I've been spending my money on traveling since I'm 19 when I basically had none. I just always loved it. And maybe it's my moon in Sagittarius. I don't know. but I don't necessarily agree with the quote where people say like, oh, wherever you go, there you are, like wherever you go, your problems will follow you. Yes, maybe in certain ways you always take yourself wherever you go technically, like physically. And of course, not everything is going to be solved if you just leave the country and go somewhere else. But I believe that traveling is quantum

leaping. It's the equivalent to jumping timelines. You're changing your environment. You're changing up your routine. You're changing your literal brain chemistry because you're surrounded by new things, new experiences, new people, new opportunities. And 2025, I did travel a lot because I really wanted to get the most out of the year where I struggled a lot mentally. I will say all of these travel experiences have helped me grow as a woman. And it has made me realize now that I would like to be more grounded in 2026, we'll see what happens. I am feeling an urge to settle my roots down more, get more serious about my future as far as what I want out of a family and maybe get a dog. And I'm starting to feel very differently about the way I see my future and my adulthood.

But I don't think I would have gotten to this point if I hadn't lived out the experiences I had wanted to experience. And I think traveling is so beautiful if you have the opportunity to do it. Even if it's a day trip somewhere, even if it's a weekend trip somewhere, just to get out of your head, we all need a little bit of momentum and push outside of our comfort zone to really see the world differently or to think things or to get a creative idea or to get your spark back. I am a huge advocate for traveling. And a lot of the traveling I did has been solo travel. So there is an episode I posted a while back and it's all about my solo travel experiences and how I've been able to solo travel. So if you're interested in solo traveling,

drop a comment below and also go visit that episode as well. You could search it on Spotify. It's there for you if you need it. The next thing is when you have a breakdown, that is just information. That something is not aligning for you or you're about to have a breakthrough. It's one or the other. In 2025, I had a lot of moments that felt like huge quantum leaps where I would go through something really difficult. And then the next day or the day after, something amazing would happen. So now when I go through something that may feel a little chaotic, a little bit challenging, I use that day or that moment or that experience as a catalyst. And I see it as a catalyst to the next level of my life. Life is a game and you just got to know how to play it.

Not everything is going to feel smooth and perfect 100% of the time, but it is how you approach it and see it and handle it. That defines your life experience. So when you're going through something that may feel a little challenging or unsettling or you feel like shaken up by a situation, just understand that this is information. I've got a really good at looking at situations more objectively and not over-analyzing it being like, oh my God, like this is the worst day ever, like everything sucks and panicking and freaking out.

First of all, that's never going to help you get anywhere. It's never going to solve anything. And second of all, nine times out of ten, things will get better if you just switch your whole energy around it and you switch your mindset around it. This is kind of funny, but every time I know I need to leave a place, All of these things start happening where I know I need to get out of there. When I left London in October, the last week I was there was the most bizarre, strange week

of my life ever. So many weird things were happening to me. And I was seeing weird things and there were like weird people approaching me. And my gut feeling was literally like, okay, it's time to go. There were clear indications that I was not supposed to be in London at that time anymore. I had already booked my flight out. So I was like, this is just confirmation. The universe is going to often send you clear signs that a situation, environment, a

relationship, whatever it may be, is not fitting your timeline anymore and that you're about to upgrade an up level and switch timelines and go to a better one. So it's okay to let go. It's okay to move on. It's okay to walk away from certain things. It's okay to leave a place if you feel called to leave. It's all going to work out and it's going to be okay. Breakdowns usually happen right before breakthroughs.

This year was definitely one of those years where I had a lot of breakdowns. And then I had some major breakthroughs. The next thing is, if you want a higher quality life, you need better boundaries. You need to work on your boundaries. If you want a higher caliber life and life experience, you need higher caliber boundaries, period. There is no negotiation with this. This is something that I've learned from not knowing how to set boundaries for most of my life. I always felt guilty.

I always felt scared to speak my truth and speak up to people. And it's not that I was necessarily a people pleaser, but I'm very, shy when it comes to standing up for myself. And I've always been that way. 2025 was the year where I had so many situations where I was just like, I don't give a fuck anymore. Excuse my language. But I was literally like, I don't give a fuck about anyone's feelings right now because I have to protect myself. I have to set the ground rules. I have to understand my value, my worth, my time, my energy is the most sacred thing. I can't sacrifice my happiness for a situation or for a person anymore. It's just not going to happen because when you,

hit rock bottom or when you hit a really low point, it's almost a good thing. It really is a good thing sometimes because it wakes you up. It forces you to confront yourself and be like, I don't have time to cater to anyone else's needs right now. I have to be selfish and put myself first because otherwise I'm not going to survive. Like sometimes going into survival mode as hard as it is and how difficult it feels in the moment, it's necessary for you to upgrade your life and it's necessary for you to learn how to set your boundaries. Boundaries are filters, okay? They're the energetic standards for your life and for what's allowed in and what's not going to make it to the next level. So if you don't have clear boundaries in place, write them down and set them

for the new year. Start the new year with better boundaries and stick to them. The biggest thing is honoring them always and sticking to them even if it feels really hard. Whenever I didn't follow through with a boundary, I ended up energetically paying for it. And whenever I reinforce my boundary, my life upgraded significantly. Perfect example is in dating in 2025. I was no bullshit. Like, I've been through enough and I know you guys if you're listening, you probably feel this way too. I just don't have time for bullshit. So I was literally going into dating very cutthroat. It's black and white. I was like, if I end up going on a date with you, this is my time and I don't want to play games. I want to be authentic. And if I'm willing to open my heart and get vulnerable,

and share my life with you and, you know, have a conversation with you. I expect to be respected. 2025 was a really big year for me in terms of not allocating all my time to dating and talking about guys and just giving my energy away for the sake of giving it away because I needed company. I used to seek validation from men when I was younger in my 20s. I would go on dates just so I had something to do. In 2025, it was literally the polar opposite for me where I was like,

I'm not going to go on this date unless I see potential and I feel a gut feeling that something amazing is going to come out of it. And the two times I ended up loosening my boundaries in those situations where I was like, oh, like I don't feel the vibe. I don't want to go. And I ended up going anyway. I paid for that energetically. I was really drained afterwards. And obviously like you get over it, you move on and you never do it again. As I've learned to love myself so fully, I don't need to go on a date just to go. I don't need to go on a date just to have company and have dinner with someone. Occasionally, if I'm in the mood and the vibe is right and I'm just in the mood to have a good time, great, so be it. But 2025 for me really taught me that I would rather sit and enjoy and

bask in my own energy and company than go on a date with someone where I know there's no future. I'm not here to waste time anymore. And in the process of really understanding my boundaries this year, I did meet someone who respected my boundaries and who I developed a really solid, nice friendship with. And it really taught me a lot about what it feels like to be able to trust someone again, which is a beautiful thing. And I don't know where it will go, but I promised myself that I'm not going to share anything publicly about my relationship life unless it was like I'm engaged with a rock on my finger. We'll see. Things have made change. I don't know. We'll see what happened.

However, I will say that really learning the value of having boundaries has changed the game for me. The next thing I learned in 2025 is that success isn't about manifesting and like you just sit on your couch and manifest by thinking about something. Although sometimes amazing things can happen by doing absolutely nothing, success really comes from being consistent with yourself and showing up for yourself and building a solid routine for yourself. you have to find something that lights you up, something that you're going to want to wake up and do, and move towards it with insane momentum. You have to be obsessed with what you do. That is part of the reason why when the podcast felt like slower,

the growth slowed down. I didn't really want to post as much. I wasn't obsessed with the process anymore. I was not obsessed with the process of like going into the studio and recording. For three years straight, I've been doing that. And I was like very burned out. So it showed in my work. It showed up in the numbers and people felt it too.

And you know that is also why I rebranded so I could have a fresh perspective on my career. And something I really took away from that is consistency because when you start lacking momentum and you're not consistent with what you're doing, it does show. It's not always about like, you know, racing to the finish line and trying to force stuff and trying to put out content and trying to do this, trying to do that. Sometimes we need to slow down and take breaks. and this year was a really big rest period for me. However, I know that the best results for me, for my career, for everything that I want to do in my life, have come from consistency. And it's not necessarily that you have to be the most talented, the best at something. It's just about showing up every day. Truly, it's just about making an effort to show up every day.

But the other side of it is you have to have fun and enjoy what you're doing and be consistent at the same time. So if you're being consistent, but you hate what you're doing, there's a high probability it's going to still feel forced like there's a lot of resistance like you're not seeing the results you want. But if you enjoy the process of what you're building and you show up every day and you're consistent, that will yield the most maximum results ever. That is true alignment right there. Okay. When you're able to be consistent with what you're doing and show up every day and love what you're doing. That's what alignment truly is. And tying this into what I was just saying, rest really is a power move. Like rest really is a blessing. If you take a long break from something,

If you put the brakes on something and you're like, I need to energetically just recalibrate and rest, sometimes that's actually really good to build even more momentum when you return to it. And 2025 really taught me that even though I was super frustrated in moments and really down on myself and really sad because I felt like I wasn't working hard enough and I wasn't putting out the content as quickly as I wanted to be, I don't regret not pushing more because I needed that rest. God was saying take a break because the next level of your life is going to be so fast and big

and there's going to be so much progress and momentum that you're going to need this year to rest. That's how I interpreted it. And it's a beautiful thing when you frame it that way because I look at this year for me as recalibration and rest before the breakthrough, before the biggest year of my life, before 2026, because 20206 is going to be the most amazing, incredible, abundant, fast, successful quantum year for me and for you too. The next thing I learned is some people really are here to trigger you and wake you up and give you that spiritual awakening. And not everyone is meant to stay.

They're just here as catalyst to propel you into the next version of you. There was a guy that I kept going back and forth with for a while and I still like have feelings for him to this day. I don't think those feelings ever really go away when you have a sole contract or a connection with someone. I had insane feelings for him at a point. It is what it is. I've accepted the fact that just because you have feelings for someone and you care about someone doesn't mean they're compatible for you. It doesn't mean they're right for you. It just means that you have a connection and that's it. And sometimes you can't help how you feel. So I had to, one, accept that. Not

everyone that you have feelings for is a part of your future and your destiny and your life's plan. And number two is that person really deeply triggered me when I thought I was healed. Even after all the work I had done on myself, he still affected me and affected my emotions. And I was really upset when I saw that, like a month after we stopped speaking, he got into a relationship. And I was like, how did you move on in like two weeks? That doesn't make sense to me. That's not adding up. And it did trigger me. I think I cried for like an hour. And, you know, then I just let it go. And then I was like, you know what? It's obviously not the right person. And that's okay. And I can accept that. And I gave myself grace in that situation and looked at it from a perspective of

these are the parts of me that still need healing, that I still need to face. And a big part of that was understanding what I just said, that not everyone is meant to come into the next chapter of your life with you just because you love them or care about them or have feelings for them. That's okay. But you can accept that and move on with love and understand that they were here to build you and shape you a little more and help you understand yourself a little deeper. that's it and that's okay and that's a beautiful thing because everyone is here to teach us something he did teach me a lot about myself he taught me how to surrender the outcome of situations because I think I was really hurt about how things played out and how things happened between us and then I just

came to a point where I was like it is what it is I know that we're not supposed to end up together and a lot of things were said and a lot of things happened it is what it is and you just have to take that experience and let it build you and let it shape you. The next thing is your confidence and how you protect your energy does really affect how you manifest. Okay, this is a big one for me. I am my most powerful when I take time alone for myself. I operate best when I get my alone time to recharge and then I step out again.

A big thing for me is understanding that confidence is built in silence. Stop talking about your plans and not acting on them. That actually makes you insecure because if you tell everyone what you're going to do and then you don't do it, you end up feeling like crap because you're like, fuck. I told everyone I had this plan and then I didn't follow through and now I feel like a loser. Like that's a little harsh, but that's basically how it feels to not follow through on something you said you were going to commit to and do and something that you promised yourself. For me, it's like I don't want to let myself down.

I don't want to let my future self down. I don't want to let my highest self feel disappointed in me. So it's like me against me, really. And I realize that the more I stay quiet about what I'm planning, what I'm building, what I'm doing, and I don't share my plans with the world, I started doing more. I started protecting my energy more. I stopped telling people what I was doing. And I got focused and laser focused on my goals.

And I didn't feel the need to tell everyone every fucking thing I was doing. The periods of time where I hibernated this year and, locked in and didn't speak to anyone about my goals were the most productive moments, period. They were the moments that I built myself the most. They were the moments where I solidified my foundation the most, period. The next thing is you can't attract what you're not aligned with. So the biggest thing for me was understanding how to get into alignment this year.

Instead of trying to do the most, something I really had to master was being more in my divine feminine energy and understanding that the more I was open to just trusting, and allowing and not pushing and like begging the universe, that was a crucial piece for me to unlock the next levels of my life. And to really understand that sometimes surrendering is the only thing we could do. Manifestations don't really happen when you're not aligned. It doesn't matter how much you ask or beg or journal or vision board. If you're not in alignment, it's going to be way harder to access what you're trying to manifest or what you're praying for. So a big thing for me was understanding how to honor what makes me feel good and move towards that. So whenever I was in a

bad mood or I was feeling stuck or I was feeling like I was making no progress, I would listen to Abraham Hicks over and over again and a huge piece of their teachings talks about moving towards what feels good and getting your actual vibrational state and how you feel internally to a state where you feel joy, excited, happiness. Once I started mastering that when I had like my breakdown moments. It really did help me. It really did help me get back into alignment and remember who I was and start making better decisions and start manifesting towards the end of the year. Things have been picking up. There's been so much happiness and momentum and joy in my life recently because I've been mastering, leaning towards the things that make me feel good.

That is really the secret to getting into alignment is just moving towards something that makes you feel good. A lot of the times, it could be as simple as waking up in the morning and having your cup of coffee and listening to happy music, which I do all the time now, because that's what makes me feel good when I wake up. When you listen to happy music and it lifts your mood, that is getting you more into alignment. When you go for a run and you feel an endorphin high, that is getting you more into alignment. Anything that makes you feel good is moving you closer to your manifestations. The next thing I learned is being alone is not punishment. It's preparation. All of the most meaningful growth I've had this year happened when I was alone. And it sucked at

times. I was really struggling for a bit with this concept of being on my own and having to move forward on my own and do everything alone. And I'm like, oh my God, I just teared up thinking about it because there was a period of my life this year where I felt like I was going through pain again and I was like, I'm never going to let myself get to that place again. And then it kind of happened again. And I was like, this is so crazy because I know what my mission is here. I know what I have to do. I know how important it is to show up for the people in my community in my career to fulfill my purpose.

And being alone really forced me to build an unshakable foundation internally within. I had to build my home from within. I couldn't seek it outside of myself. I couldn't seek it in a man. I couldn't seek it from anywhere else. And now looking back, I'm like, God was really building an unshakable foundation for me this because now I understand what was happening and why I had to go through that. But it was not easy.

I will say that. Another really big thing I learned is clarity often comes after action and not before it. So if you're waiting on a decision because you're like, oh, I don't know, I don't know. And you're not taking any actions or moving towards a decision in any way. You're often going to stay stagnant or confused or stuck. Sometimes you just got to make the decision and then make the decision right. I saw a quote about that a while ago on Instagram, and I love it and it always stuck with me. Sometimes clarity comes after you make the decision.

Obviously, listen to your intuition, but I think some of my biggest breakthroughs have happened when I've made the decision this year. Sometimes overthinking is going to kill the momentum of where you're going. So just move. Move towards something that feels a little bit better or lighter. Whenever I decide to travel to a new city, whenever I decide to make a business decision, or, you know, literally anything okay every decision gave me feedback and if i didn't like the feedback i would reroute and i would make a different decision the next time but just making a decision and understanding that everything is part of your divine plan and you're here to learn and you're here to experience life

that is a really beautiful thing and i'm the type of person who overthinks everything and i'm like oh should i do this and then i'll hesitate but the truth is when you follow that initial nudge and that initial piece of intuition that's telling you to do something that's telling you to do something that's you to make a move, telling you to go somewhere. Follow that and move and take action and clarity will usually follow. The next thing is, home is not a place. It is the energy that you carry. And this is something that I just touched on, but this year was really big for me in terms of building my internal foundation to be unshakable. Home for me isn't in Bali. It's not in London. It's not even necessarily in New York where I'm from, even though it technically is my original home and I miss

New York very much. Home is within. Home is your relationship to yourself. It's how much you know yourself, how aligned you are, how much you know your heart, how much you know your boundaries and your worth, and your relationship to God. I've learned for me this year that building a solid routine, as I mentioned before, has played such a big role in shaping who I am at my core and getting into a really good health routine, just taking care of my physical body, has truly helped me build the home from within. You don't have to seek outside of yourself. You always have yourself. And that's something I really took away from this year. The next thing is your parents, if you still are lucky enough to have parents and you have a relationship with your parents, just spend more

time with them, show them you appreciate them more. That's something that I really learned this year is understanding that your parents are here experiencing life too and they're not always going to understand you or get you or agree with you on a lot of things and you know parents are parents we're living in two different generational timelines and there's going to be disagreements you know misunderstanding sometimes between family but if you're lucky enough to have your parents just appreciate them and give them as much love as you can give and do your best to heal your relationship with your parents if they're still around I think that's just really important that's something that I took away from this year because I've spent more time getting closer to

my mom and dad and just appreciating them more and understanding that, you know, your parents aren't here forever. And I just really feel like 2025 has emphasized that for me a lot. Your parents are human as well. This year just taught me to call them more, to connect with them more, and to visit them more. I'm going to be home for the holidays with them again this year and spending more time with them this year in New York. And I just think it's a really beautiful thing if you have the privilege to still do that if your parents are still around. Your parents put you here on this earth. You wouldn't be here without them. So show them that gratitude if you can. I understand not everyone has a good dynamic with their family members, but if you can, show them a little bit of gratitude, give them a little

bit of grace and try to forgive them if possible. The last thing I want to talk about is you could lose literally everything and still make it through and rise and come out on top. Now, what do I mean by that. This is the biggest takeaway I am taking from this year. You can go through 11 months of slowness, of stagnation, of no progress. And then the last month, God will give you your blessings and manifestations and give you everything you've prayed for all at once, faster than you could ever even imagine. I know moving into 2026, that 2026 is the year of breakthroughs, miracles, and resurrection. And I'm claiming it and I want to claim it for you guys too. If you're claiming it as well, comment on Spotify. 2026 is the year of resurrection. Everything we felt like we lost

in 2025. We are getting back multiplied in 26. I truly believe that. Everything that you felt crumbled was taken away from you. Your plans will fall apart. Your relationships will fall away. Everything sometimes has to break down and crumble in order for you to come back 10 times stronger, a hundred times stronger, a thousand times stronger. Everything you've ever prayed for, can seem so far away. And then all of a sudden, at the last second, God will be like, surprise, I got you. I got you. I was never going to let you down. I just wanted to build you first. I just wanted to make sure that you were fully prepared and ready for what I was about to give you. That's what I've taken away from 2025. I feel like this year has built my strength, my character,

my maturity. I had so many difficult periods, but I had so many amazing breakthroughs. And I'm so grateful for every single chapter. Something I'm realizing now is that There is nothing I can lose that God isn't going to replace with something a hundred times better, a hundred times more divine and magical. And oftentimes when you feel like you're falling behind and you're making no progress, that is just you being strengthened and rebuilt for an even bigger breakthrough, for even bigger miracles than you could ever even imagine. And I'll leave you with this to close out 2025.

If you're watching this right now, you walk through the fire and literally still came out on top. You walked through every test, every trial, every fire, and you still came out strong. You shed an old identity that was not yours anymore. You are stepping into your most abundant divine timeline in the new year. God was rebuilding you so he could introduce you to the most powerful, unstoppable version of you in the new year. Now you're going to be able to walk into the new year with higher standards, higher self-worth, higher confidence, knowing that you're on a mission with your highest calling and your divine purpose. You've experienced all the healing.

You've done all the lessons. You've done everything you could possibly do in 2025 in order to rise to your highest potential. in the new year. Now, 2026, let it be your comeback year. Miracles are going to be happening for you left and right every single moment. 2025, the chapter is closed. We can move on. The old self is history. We're leaving the past behind. And now we're stepping into 2026 stronger and better than ever. I love you guys so much. You mean the world to me.
