Is it just me or did 2025 fly by? It was a year of deep learning, some huge wins, other things that didn't pan out and plenty of reminders that life doesn't always go according to plan. As I sit here reflecting on it all, I'm thinking about what I'm taking with me into 2026 and what I'm leaving behind.

A big lesson for me this year has been that not everything works out, no matter how hard you try. Despite a lot of hard work, there were things I really wanted to see happen that just didn’t work out, both personally and professionally. But I've learned not to take that personally. Not everything is meant for us at every moment, and there's real wisdom in accepting that.

I’ve been reminded to trust in life's unfolding, even when it doesn't look the way I expected. Something I also consciously remember is that our our well-being doesn't depend on outcomes. Happiness is an internal compass. We get to guide it, no matter where life takes us.

Key Takeaways:

• Our well-being and happiness don't depend on outcomes; they come from within
• 2025 brought business success, program growth and the importance of a supportive team
• Building villages means fostering real communities, both personally and professionally
• My vision for 2026 to host more in-person connections to create deeper, more meaningful relationships
• Trusting life's unfolding, even when it doesn't match our expectations, brings peace and clarity

I'd love to hear from you. What was your most significant lesson from 2025 and what's one thing you want to bring with you into 2026?

The silly season is here! And with it comes more food, more drinks, late nights and routines that go completely out the window. It's a magical time but it can also leave you feeling off-balance. Let's talk about how to enjoy the festivities without the dreaded blowout, whether that's weight gain, bloating, or a general slump in mood and energy.

With so many end of year gatherings and Christmas parties, navigating a smorgasbord of delicious treats can be challenging. In this episode, I share some practical tips on how you can still have a great time without paying for it later.

• Never Drink On an Empty Stomach
• Eat Mindfully
• Eat for Satisfaction Over Fullness
• Hold Off Sugar Where You Can
• Stay Hydrated
• Stay Active
• Cherish the Moments

Above all, enjoy this time with family, friends and loved ones. The hustle of busyness and presents can be all consuming but don't lose sight of what's truly important: reconnecting and making meaningful memories. Socialise, laugh and fill your cup with the warmth and love around you.

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas from me and all of my team! Here's to a season full of joy and wellness.

Your health isn't a vague aspiration. It's a strategic advantage. As we step into a new year, many of us reflect on resolutions like eating better, sleeping more or exercising regularly. But for high-performing women, achieving goals requires more than vague intentions. Today I'm sharing the specific health metrics you should be tracking as a business leader to optimise your personal operating system and genuinely transform how you move through your life.

We explore five foundational health metrics: metabolic markers like fasting insulin and glucose levels that reveal how efficiently your body uses energy, your stress recovery curve, sleep quality, mental bandwidth and emotional regulation under stress. I share why these aren't just random numbers but strategic data points that directly impact your leadership, decision-making and business growth.

We discuss getting comprehensive pathology reports twice a year to track your baseline and progress, shifting from just maintaining your health to actually mastering it. This is about waking up every day feeling energised and clear-headed, not just surviving.

What health metric are you going to start tracking first?
