January 5, 2026

Good morning Reader,

Happy 2026! As the "New Year" noise starts to ramp up, I want to check in on the part of you that might feel... well, a little heavy.

There is so much pressure right now to do, to act, and to start immediately just because it is now January.

But this season actually calls for a different, slower pace, which feels much more aligned for myself ...

{even though I literally have 4 Zoom meetings scheduled for this week, ending with the first social event of the year...eek}

Outside, it is winter: a season meant for deep rest, restoration, and roots growing quietly in the dark.

If you are feeling emotionally or mentally tired from all the changes, if the idea of "starting fresh" feels more like a burden right now:

I see you {& I feel it too}.

Let's take a pause.. before the world asks for your brilliance, before anyone needs a piece of your magic, give these ten minutes to your own soul.

The 10-Minute
Winter Reset:

For the Woman who Holds it all together.

❋ Choose Your Comfort: Maybe it’s a warm espresso, a spicy chai, or a simple ice water. Let the warm coziness ground you.

❋ The "No-Noise" Zone: No scrolling, no notifications, no "checking in" on the world for just 10 minutes.. This is about checking in on you.

❋ The Brain Dump: Don't worry about goals or resolutions. Grab a pen & just let the tiredness, the thoughts, and the dreams flow onto the paper until the weight feels a little lighter.

*Take a screenshot & save this the next time you need an intentional break!*

Consider this your secret weapon.

You are allowed to bloom in your own time.

Virtually Yours,
Your Virtual Wing Woman

PS. When you are ready, download my new workbook, From Vision Board to Empowered Flow, diving even deeper into those aligned actions!

& if you are local:

➡️ Join me at the 5th Annual She Can Club Vision Board Party on January 10th. I went last year and it was such a great start to the year for my business and ‘social life’! Professional headshots, serious vision boarding and meeting a lot of awesome women in Santa Rosa area!

➡️ Also, if you want to network differently (ie. discuss real topics that matter with other women professionals vs just handing out business cards), the Sonoma County Breakfast Club is for you! The first breakfast is January 15th at the Flamingo Resort & Spa with the topic of staying irreplaceable in the age of AI.
