Entering 2026 WITHOUT forcing change

I'm entering 2026 without forcing change or fixing myself first. Here's on how to stop being so hard on yourself while staying ambitious and my approach to self-improvement, sitting with your feelings and trusting yourself in the new year.

Everyone says: you need to fix yourself to enter the new year ready.

And while I also love being prepared and having my plans written out, I allowed myself a different start this year.

One that's not about forcing change or fixing myself first, but about tuning in with myself while starting my most ambitious year ever.

Think that's a contradiction?

Stay and find out how being ambitious without being at war with ourselves is actually the goal.
