New Year, New Intentions

They say the Year of the Snake is about shedding skin. Releasing what no longer serves you. Transformation that isn’t gentle but necessary.

And let me tell you something:

I shed everything in 2025.

My identity.

My career.

My sense of safety.

My belief that doing the “right thing” always protects you.

2025 brought me to my knees. Not metaphorically. Literally. Rock bottom, standing in the eye of the storm, learning how to breathe again.

But here’s the thing about snakes, they don’t shed their skin because they’re weak. They shed it because they’re growing.

And I refuse to drag the pain of 2025 into the fire with me. I’m Leaving the Pain Where It Belongs. I am not carrying shame into the new year. I am not replaying every decision I made trying to survive. I am not beating myself down for choosing change, even when change hurt like hell.

I made choices from a place of exhaustion, truth, and self-preservation. That doesn’t make me reckless. It makes me human. I refuse to spend another year punishing myself for trusting my gut.

The pain stays in 2025.

The lessons come with me.

If the year of the Snake taught me how to let go, the year of the Fire Horse demands that I move forward.

And that’s how I’m stepping into this next chapter. No more living in constant panic. No more waking up with my heart racing. No more shrinking myself out of fear.

I am resetting my mind. Re-mapping my thoughts. Reclaiming my nervous system and my power.

I am putting my everything into my business with my soul sister by my side. We are building something real. Something rooted in creativity, resilience, and community. It’s about building a future and giving back to the place and people who held us up when things fell apart.

I will continue working in women’s health because it fills my cup. Because it reminds me every single day what women supporting women actually looks like. I will continue selling hair extensions. I will continue working part-time scrubbing charts. I will continue doing whatever I need to do without shame because I will never let instability touch my family.

Everything I’m doing is watched by two little girls who are learning what perseverance looks like in real time.

I want them to know you can fall apart and still rebuild. You can be scared and still move forward. You can manifest a future while standing in the middle of uncertainty.

Hard work.

Determination.

Belief.

And a little bit of magic.

That combination changes lives.

I’m Not Looking Back! This is the year I stop apologizing for surviving. The year I stop doubting my worth. The year I choose forward motion over fear. I don’t know exactly how every piece will come together yet.

But I know this:

I am done living anxious.

I am done carrying pain that isn’t mine to keep. The snake shed the skin. The fire horse takes the lead. And I’m riding straight into the new year with no intention of turning back.

Farewell 2025 ✌🏻
