Summary
Every December at Cut & Conquer we sit down and reflect on the year. What worked, what didn’t, what lessons we learned, and the beliefs we had to outgrow. Bella joins me to unpack the year in regards to personal development, fitness, relationships, coaching, and real life. We uphold tradition by picking our 2026 “word of the year,” and get real about our own strengths, weak spots, and growth strategies. 2025 truly surprised me in ways I didn’t expect. I questioned rules I’d lived by for years, leaned into vulnerability, and found progress in places I used to fear. If you’re tired of the “new year, same noise,” this is the episode that gives you real-life stories with depth, anchors, and a clearer lens for your own future. Topics Discussed: Our “word of the year” for 2026 Why I replaced resolutions with a single word five years ago — and never looked back 2025’s biggest lessons, favorite memories, and proudest accomplishments Questioning rules and social norms we take for granted Curiosity over judgment + conflict without ego Strengths that emerged and weak spots that surfaced What made progress in fitness feel easier The meaning we attach to emotions and how that affects behavior No matter what time of year you decide to tune in, If you’re looking for practical takeaways with real depth, you’ll get both.
