Ep. 157 - New Year, Same You—Bigger Mission: Building a Purpose-Driven Life

Step into the new year with clarity, confidence, and a purpose you can actually live out—without the pressure of perfection. In this episode, we talk about why so many New Year’s resolutions fade, what people are really aiming for in 2026, and how stress, anxiety, and financial pressure can quietly shape our goals. Recent polling shows only about 31% of Americans say they’ll make a New Year’s resolution for 2026—and the most common goals are exercising more, being happy, eating healthier, and saving money. We’ll flip the script: instead of chasing a long list of goals, you’ll learn a simple framework to identify your values, define your “why,” and build a life system that supports your mental, spiritual, and practical well-being. You’ll leave with reflective questions, a 90-day plan, and real steps to find your place and purpose—one decision at a time.

The holidays are prime time for scammers. Between flash sales, delivery updates, gift cards, and travel plans, cyber-criminals count on people moving fast and clicking first. In this video, we break down simple, real-world steps you can take to protect your money, your accounts, and your identity while shopping online.✅ Holiday cyber-safety checklist- Shop only on trusted sites: Type the web address yourself or use official apps—avoid random links in texts, emails, and ads.- Watch for fake deals: If a price looks too good to be true, it probably is. Check the seller, reviews, and return policy.- Secure payments: Use a credit card or secure payment service (better fraud protection). Avoid debit cards for online purchases.- Enable 2-Factor Authentication (2FA): Turn it on for email, banking, and shopping accounts—especially your email (it’s the “master key”).- Use strong, unique passwords: A password manager helps you avoid reusing passwords across multiple sites.- Beware of delivery scams: Fake “package delayed” or “address problem” messages are common. Track orders from the retailer’s official site/app.- Avoid public Wi-Fi for purchases: If you must, use a trusted VPN—otherwise wait until you’re on your home network. - Don’t buy gift cards from strangers: And never share gift card codes with anyone claiming you “owe” money.- Keep devices updated: Updates patch security holes that scammers actively exploit.- Check statements regularly: Spot small “test charges” early—report anything suspicious immediately.If you want more videos like this, subscribe and share this with a friend or family member—especially anyone doing a lot of online shopping.
