I'm walking you through the five goals I've set for the year, why I approached goal-setting differently this time, and how my 2026 word of the year — surrender — is shaping both my life and my business. We'll talk about: Letting go of control and perfection in goal setting Why personal and business goals can't (and shouldn't) be separated What it looks like to focus on embodiment instead of constant tracking Creating consistent, meaningful impact through generosity And my core business goal for 2026: creating opportunities for women in real estate that wouldn't exist otherwise I'm also breaking down the specific action steps behind each goal — because vision without a plan doesn't get you very far.
