This episode feels vulnerable… and a little scary to share.

Today I’m walking you through my big, bold 2026 goals — personal, financial, and business — and exactly how I plan to hit them without burning out, overworking, or losing the life I’ve built.

My word for 2026 is expand.

Not hustle harder.
Not do more.
Expand what’s already working.

In this episode, I share:

Why I chose expand as my word of the year
My personal goals around health, energy, travel, and regulation
The systems I’m using to protect my time and energy
My $500K revenue goal (and how I reverse-engineered it)
Exactly how ads, launches, YouTube, and personal brand fit together
Why focusing on one marketing channel at a time has changed everything
How I’m planning growth that supports my life — not competes with it

I also break down the math behind my revenue goals, what I can control versus what I can’t, and how confidence, systems, and consistency have allowed my business to more than double year after year.

This isn’t about bragging.
It’s about showing what’s possible when you pair:
✔ Ads that actually work
✔ A clear offer
✔ Real leadership
✔ And a genuine heart for service
