26 LESSONS I'm taking into 2026 👇🏾

lesson 1: the person you marry is the most important career decision you’ll ever make.

lesson 2: failure isn’t the opposite of success - it’s the tuition fee.

lesson 3: the first thought you have is often the truest. Trust it more.

lesson 4: regret is always louder than rejection.

lesson 5: do not let the internet tell you how hard you should or shouldn't work.

lesson 6: everything is figure-out-able if you’re willing to look stupid.

lesson 7: anger is often just fear in disguise.

lesson 8: your health is the foundation under every ambition. Without it, nothing stands.

lesson 9: if you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it deeply.

lesson 10: your childhood is an explanation, not a justification.

lesson 11: you become unstoppable the day embarrassment stops being a price you fear.

lesson 12: if it costs your peace, it’s too expensive.

lesson 13: the people you love will always be your best investment.

lesson 14: growth feels a lot like loss at first.

lesson 15: if you can’t change it, change how you see it.

lesson 16: most timeframes and delays people give you are fake - it's just "how it's always been done". Your job is to push on them to see if they're made of concrete or paper.

lesson 17: your energy introduces you before your words do. Get right with yourself.

lesson 18: your biggest opportunities will show up dressed as problems

lesson 19: the people who win are the ones who can suffer boredom.

lesson 20: success is rarely about doing more - it’s about deleting what doesn’t matter.

lesson 21: great work is just good work repeated. Be consistent, not perfect.

lesson 22: protecting your time is the highest form of self-care and self-respect.

lesson 23: fear shrinks when you move
toward it.

lesson 24: discipline is easier than regret

lesson 25: don’t just chase goals. Chase environments that make those goals inevitable.

lesson 26: mind your own business.

I’m curious, which of these lessons did you have to learn the hard way? Drop the number in the comments. Or, if you have a Lesson 27 that I missed, leave it below. I’ll be reading through ❤️

One of the best parts of being a therapist is seeing the strength and beauty in each of my clients.

Children always seem to be listening when we think they are not. After reading this quote I reflected on what I am saying when the kids act like they aren’t listening. My husband and I made efforts to speak positively about friends, family, and neighbors noting qualities of value such as being responsible, kind, or hard working. We also intentionally spoke kindly about our kiddos so they could hear how much they are loved and appreciated. One night our son said through our bedroom wall, “Awww, thanks guys.” And, I knew we were on the right track.

(Somehow all kids seem very good at tuning out when we are asking them to do chores though. 😂).

Childhood abuse and sexual abuse is still shockingly common. Thank you, NNECA for this informative graphic and resource. It’s never too late to process things that have happened to you. It’s never too late to seek support. 🫶

Don’t forget to take care of yourself this holiday season. ❄️

The holiday season can bring on many added stressors. It’s important to carve out small moments of peace. For me, that’s often moments outside. For others it’s a warm cup of tea, or listening to a favorite song. What works for you?

Yaaaaas!

Be true to yourself and let things fall where they may.

Thank you
for the reminder about boundaries. So often we feel as if the things that are happening are out of our control. While this can be true, we can control our responses and reactions. It is especially important to take time and think about things before you respond. Friendly reminder that “No” is a complete answer.

Good things and bad things are happening all the time. All we human have control over is our mindset. Thank you .e.l.e.n.m.a.r.i.e for this cheat sheet of how to help create a positive mindset.

Food, water, and shelter are our most basic needs. There is no judgement about needing help sometimes.
