How to Build the Life You Want (Without Burning Out) in 2026

If you’re staring at January feeling behind — like everyone else has their planner, goals, and life together — this episode is for you.

In this solo season 3 kickoff, Betsy reflects on 2025 with zero fluff: what actually made her happier, what quietly drained her, and what she’s choosing to carry into 2026 with more intention. This isn’t a “new year, new you” pep talk. It’s a grounded reset for the woman who wants clarity without pressure.

This episode is an invitation to step out of hustle-mode and back into your own signal — especially if you’ve felt overwhelmed, overstimulated, or like you’ve been playing whack-a-mole in your business (and your brain).

Together, we explore:

  • Why you’re not behind (and why January pressure is a lie)

  • The real “wins” of 2025: the tiny moments that create true happiness

  • What Betsy is leaving in 2025: resentment, self-doubt, and self-sabotage

  • A simple question that changes everything: does this drain you or give you energy?

  • How to set goals that move the needle without piling more onto your plate

  • The shift from punishment to joy in health, movement, and habits

  • Journaling prompts to cut through the noise and lead with intention

  • Why showing up more authentically is the next level — personally and professionally

You don’t need a perfect plan. You need a life that feels like yours.

You are not behind. You are right on time — and you get to write what happens next.
