From Audacity to Ease | Reflecting on 2025 and Choosing What’s Next

#pilotingyourlife #midlifewomen #thrivingover40 #2025reflections #2026 Happy New Year. I’ll be honest, it’s been hard to ease into 2026, even though my word of the year is Ease. Recovering from a partial knee replacement, navigating a challenging year personally and nationally, and reflecting on everything that unfolded in 2025 has made this transition anything but simple. In this video, I reflect on a year that required a lot of audacity, and why I’m giving myself a gold star for surviving and showing up anyway. 2025 included: • Our first full year creating travel and content with Zeke and Terri Adventures • Two major trips to Europe, including seven weeks in France • Teaching Navigating Midlife for Women through Stanford Continuing Studies • Consulting work with Stanford • Testing coaching and beginning to design a retreat ecosystem • Navigating osteoarthritis, knee surgery, and recovery • Major habit changes and weight loss with the help of Zepbound • Letting go of emotional coping mechanisms and facing some long-held mental baggage • Watching our kids grow into themselves: Adam starting a master’s program at SF State and Theodore preparing to graduate from UVM and chase the travel bug • Finding joy in smaller moment: tennis with Adam, drawing again for the first time since high school, reading voraciously, and writing 2026 is about Ease, supported by three guiding words: Play. Grace. Curiosity. I talk about what ease means for me, why it may be harder than audacity, and how I’m actively working toward it, including starting therapy, continuing to fight for democracy, and staying engaged even when it’s uncomfortable. I also share my reflection process, how I approach vision boards, and why I believe travel, creativity, and curiosity make us better humans.
