🐭 'Twas the Week Before Christmas

Hey, peeps ~

Many of you know that I often speak to audiences about resilience and use my Head, Heart, and Hands pathways to help people live life well, especially when things feel full or heavy.

This week is one of those weeks.

It’s also our final Five Words In meetup of 2025, happening this Thursday at Noon CST, exactly one week before Christmas and two weeks before the New Year. Before we sprint into the holidays or limp across the finish line, I want to help you stay grounded, finish strong, and step into 2026 with balanced momentum.

Here’s a simple 5-point checklist to carry you through the week ahead.

A Finish-Strong Checklist 💪

1. Head
Decide what “done” actually means. You don’t need to finish everything, just the right things. Clarity lowers stress.

2. Heart
Pause long enough to name what this year gave you. Wins, lessons, growth you didn’t notice while it was happening. Gratitude grounds us.

3. Hands
Complete one meaningful loose end. One email, one follow-up, one conversation. Completion creates momentum.

4. Pace
Protect your energy, not just your time. Say no to one unnecessary obligation and leave a little margin on purpose.

5. Direction
You don’t need a full plan for 2026 yet. Just ask, “What kind of energy do I want to carry into the new year?”

We’ll reflect on all of this together live on Thursday at Noon CST, close out the year with intention, and create a clean runway into what’s next.

No pressure.
No hustle theater.
Just presence, perspective, and community.

I hope you’ll join us.
