Planning for a Purposeful 2025

The start of a new year always feels like a reset button. For me, 2024 was full of lessons—some exciting, some humbling. The biggest one? I found myself slipping back into an old habit I thought I’d left behind: overloading my schedule, chasing productivity, and forgetting to slow down. It felt a lot like being back in the corporate world, where being busy was the goal. The problem is, being busy doesn’t always mean being creative, and it definitely doesn’t mean having a balanced life.

So, for 2025, I’m switching gears. This year is about creating with purpose, making space for joy, and focusing on what really matters. Here’s the plan.

Letting Go of “Busy”

One thing I’ve learned is that being “busy” doesn’t mean being productive—or happy. This year, I’m cutting back on the noise:

  • No more juggling a million tools and calendars. Simple, focused systems will do the trick.

  • Less time on projects that don’t fit my bigger vision.

This doesn’t mean I’ll be doing less. It means I’ll be giving my energy to the things that really inspire me—and hopefully you, too!

Making Space for What Matters

Creativity needs room to breathe. This year, I’m making rest and play a priority:

  • Weekends and holidays are for recharging, not working.

  • Vacations are on the schedule, no excuses.

  • I may even explore a four-day work week (no promises, though!)

Connecting in a New Way

This year, I’m launching a Super Fan Portal just for you. I’m so excited to create a space where we can connect more deeply and celebrate the creative process together. It’s free to join and will include:

  • Behind-the-scenes looks at what I’m working on.

  • Early access to bonus materials and sneak peeks of upcoming books.

  • Updates on events and exciting milestones.

2025 feels like a turning point—a chance to slow down, focus, and do work that truly matters. Whether it’s VR, healing practices, or storytelling, I’m excited to dive into these projects and share them with you.

Thank you for being here, for reading, and for supporting what I do. Your encouragement keeps me going, and I can’t wait to see where this year takes us. Let’s make 2025 one to remember!
