    49. My Most Successful Year Yet: What's Coming With Me into 2026 & What's Staying Behind

    The Honest Truth: What I'm Taking Into 2026 (And What I'm Leaving in 2025) This isn't just a highlight reel. It's the warts-and-all truth about my most successful year yet - the brilliant highs, the messy middles, and the hard lessons I'm not repeating. Here's exactly how putting on my big girl pants transformed my business (and bank balance). In this episode, I'm getting real about: - The breakthrough moment - Why stepping up and getting properly known (not just good at what I do) changed everything  - The income truth - How I hit my full annual target 4 months early and why alignment with my audience was the secret-  -  What actually worked - Pitching for scary opportunities, backing myself differently, and finally walking the walk I've been teaching -  What I'm leaving in 2025 - Money mindset mistakes, being too formulaic, and giving Mrs Doubtfire way too much airtime  - What I'm taking into 2026 - Big girl pants energy, more fun, better support, and a whole lot of courage Here's what I learned: Every single breakthrough came from doing the things that scared me. Not the comfortable stuff. Not the "should do" strategies. The scary stuff that pushed me out of my comfort zone. The bottom line? When you properly align with your audience, back yourself, and step into being known for what you do - your confidence changes, your opportunities change, and yes, your bank balance changes.
