This week’s solo episode is basically a debrief of the year where I thought I could “have it all”… and instead had goals bigger than my patience, sacrifices bigger than my sleep, and anxiety bigger than my to-do list.I’m spilling the truth about what I aimed for, what I learned the hard way, and why next year I will not be signing up for the Olympic sport of Overcommitting.2026 motto? Balance, baby.More calm, less chaos.
