Looking Back With Honesty: A New Way to Approach the New Year

Here's what I see every January working with executives, entrepreneurs, and high-level leaders: They set bigger goals. Create stricter standards. Double down on discipline. And by February, they're just as exhausted as they were in December. Because here's what no one tells high achievers about the New Year: you don't need another goal. You need a more honest relationship with yourself. Real change doesn't happen when the calendar flips. It happens when you pause long enough to look back at what actually worked and what didn't. When you get curious instead of critical. When you mine for data instead of immediately jumping to what needs to be fixed. The questions most leaders skip: Where did your effort not equal fulfillment this year? What patterns continued despite your best intentions? Where have you been overriding your intuition? What are you done tolerating? These aren't comfortable questions. They're meant to be disruptive. Because the truth is, most successful people have achieved everything they thought would make them feel a certain way, only to realize the achievement didn't deliver the feeling. I know this because I've lived it. And I see it every single day with the leaders I coach. 2023 was my year of reckoning. It took me to my knees and flipped everything I thought was true upside down. 2024 was reclamation, navigating grief and healing I'd never experienced. 2025 was recalibration, figuring out who I am on the other side of that cyclone. And one of the biggest patterns I had to face? Waiting for people to choose me instead of creating my own opportunities. Leaning back instead of stepping into ownership. So I don't set resolutions. I set intentions grounded in a powerful word and energy. And for 2026, that word is ownership. No more waiting for the stage. I'm creating it. No more overriding my gut. I'm executing before I talk myself out of it. No more keeping myself as the best kept secret. I'm done with that story. Here's what I want you to know: Success is not a destination. It's a feeling you can choose to step into right now, today, without changing a single external thing. But you have to get honest first about where you actually are. What you're committed to. What you're bringing forward. What you're leaving behind. That clarity creates better choices. And better choices create the change that actually lasts. I just released a solo episode walking through the exact reflection process I use with my clients to enter the New Year with intention instead of pressure. No fixing required. Just honest reflection that creates the foundation for real change. If you're a leader who's tired of chasing achievements that don't fill you up, this one's for you. What's one pattern you're done tolerating in 2026?
