Ready for a new year that doesn’t demand a sprint from day one? We’re starting 2026 with honesty, a warm cup of chai, and a clear reminder that winter is for roots. The holidays were full, the house is still a mess, and yet the path forward can feel calm and strong when we stop forcing hustle and start trusting the season we’re in.
We reflect on a year of shedding—friendships, roles, routines—and how that release makes room for a steadier kind of confidence. Instead of a rigid resolution list, we choose one meaningful focus you can live across seasons. Think “be outside more,” then map it for winter, spring, summer, and fall. We share practical ideas for keeping goals visible where you’ll see them daily, and small daily actions that actually stick. Five minutes beats perfection. A sticky note on the fridge beats a forgotten note on your phone. Momentum grows when the plan fits your real life.
Hit play, exhale, and pick your one focus for the year. Share it with me for accountability, send this to a friend who needs gentler goals, and leave a quick review so more women can find a space where confidence feels like home.

"Disney World might be the happiest place on earth but The Self(ish) Retreat is one of the safest places on earth to share your true self. All parts of you are welcome at the Self(ish) Retreat. It's an opportunity to make new friends and bond on a deeper level with old (and new) friends. You're guaranteed to learn something new about yourself. Jess takes care of all the details of the weekend so you can focus on turning inward and getting what you need out of the retreat."
"You NEED to work with Jess. No question. In the 4 months I have been working with Jess so far, my business and I have grown EXPONENTIALLY. Four months ago, I was just talking about the idea that I might start a business, and now I have left a career that wasn’t aligned for me, committed to the adventure of a lifetime, found my niche, launched my business, and rediscovered WHO I AM in the process. I promise you, YOU WILL NOT REGRET choosing 1:1 coaching with this powerhouse woman. Just make sure that you are ready to GROW more than you thought possible."
