The Next 90 Days: How to Make Real Progress (Without Adding More to Your Plate)

Do you ever feel like you’re stuck in a cycle of busyness but not actually moving forward?

It’s easy to get caught up in the urgent—shifts, charting, patient care, meetings—leaving little room for the important. The goals, changes, and dreams you want to focus on? They get pushed to “later.”

But here’s the problem: later never magically appears.

So how do you actually make progress—without adding more to your already full plate?

The 90-Day Rule: Why It Works

Instead of vague resolutions or an overwhelming five-year plan, focus on the next 90 days.

Here’s why:
It’s long enough to see real results. You can accomplish more than you think in 90 days.
It’s short enough to stay motivated. You don’t lose steam like you might with a year-long goal.
It forces clarity. When you only have 90 days, you have to get specific about what matters most.

Try This Today:

Pick One Focus – What’s one thing that would make the biggest difference in your work or life? (Better boundaries? More energy? A project you’ve been avoiding?)
Set a Simple Action Step – What’s one small thing you can do this week to move toward it?
Decide What You’ll Stop Doing – Success isn’t just about adding; it’s about cutting what’s draining your time and energy.

Example:
Goal: Be more present at home instead of mentally bringing work stress home.
Small Step: Set a 5-minute “shutdown routine” after your shift to transition out of work mode.
Stop Doing: Checking work emails after hours.

If you want to create a real, doable 90-day plan, reach out to book a complimentary consultation call for your personal 90-Day Success Accelerator.

We’ll map out your next 90 days.
You’ll get strategies to follow through (without burnout).
You’ll leave with a plan that actually works.
We’ll meet weekly for accountability.

What’s ONE thing you’d love to accomplish in the next 90 days?

90-Day Goals: A 3-Month Blueprint for Real Progress

In the fast-paced world of healthcare, long-term plans can feel overwhelming. Whether you’re juggling patient care, shifts, or managing a busy schedule, setting a 90-day goal can be a game changer. Instead of aiming for distant milestones, this approach lets you focus on what you can achieve in the next three months—with clear steps, regular check-ins, and room for adjustments along the way.

Why 90 Days?

The idea behind a 90-day goal is simple: focus on a short, manageable timeframe that keeps you motivated without burning out. Here’s why it works:

  • Clarity: A three-month window forces you to narrow down your focus to what truly matters.
  • Momentum: Smaller goals create quick wins that build your confidence.
  • Flexibility: You can pivot quickly if circumstances change—essential for busy professionals.
  • Realism: It’s long enough to see meaningful change but short enough to avoid procrastination.

Think of it as your personal sprint, designed to get tangible results without the overwhelm of a long-term commitment.

Step 1: Define Your Vision

Start with the big picture. What do you want to see change in your professional or personal life over the next 90 days? Your vision should be clear, inspiring, and measurable.

  • Be Specific: Instead of “improve time management,” try “cut down my shift handover delays by 25%.”
  • Focus on Impact: How will this change make your work or life easier? Think less stress, better patient care, or improved personal well-being.
  • Write It Down: A written goal cements your commitment. Even a simple statement on a sticky note can serve as a daily reminder.

Step 2: Break It Down

Once your vision is set, break it into bite-sized tasks. This step is all about making the big picture approachable.

  • List Actionable Steps: Identify the key actions required. For example, if your goal is to streamline workflow, tasks might include researching best practices, setting up a new schedule, and trialing a new system.
  • Prioritize Tasks: Not everything needs to be tackled at once. Determine which tasks will have the most immediate impact and focus on those first.
  • Set Mini-Deadlines: Divide your 90 days into smaller chunks—perhaps in 30-day segments—and assign deadlines. This helps you gauge progress without feeling lost in the long-term view.

Step 3: Build in Accountability

Accountability is the secret ingredient that turns a plan into action. Here are a few practical ways to keep yourself on track:

  • Weekly Check-Ins: Set aside time each week to review your progress. A short self-assessment can help you adjust your approach as needed.
  • Use a Planner or App: Whether it’s a digital calendar, a time-tracking app, or a classic paper planner, tracking your daily actions can highlight wins and reveal areas for improvement.
  • Share Your Goal: Telling a trusted colleague or friend adds an extra layer of motivation. Sometimes a quick chat with someone who understands your field can spark fresh insights and keep you accountable.

Tracking Your Wins: Measuring Progress

Knowing you’ve made progress is key to staying motivated and keeping your plan on track. Here’s how to measure your progress in a tangible way:

  • Set Clear Metrics:
    Define specific indicators that relate directly to your goal. For example, if your aim is to improve workflow efficiency, you might track:
    • Time Savings: How much quicker are you completing tasks?
    • Task Completion Rates: How many tasks did you check off your list each week?
    • Quality Indicators: Are there fewer errors or delays in your processes?
  • Create a Scorecard or Dashboard:
    A simple spreadsheet or an app can serve as your personal dashboard. Log your key metrics regularly to see trends and identify when you’re on track—or when you need to adjust your approach.
  • Qualitative Check-Ins:
    Sometimes numbers don’t tell the whole story. Reflect on questions like:
    • Do you feel less stressed or more in control of your schedule?
    • Are colleagues or clients noticing improvements?
    • Has your overall satisfaction with your work increased?
  • Celebrate Milestones:
    Recognizing even small wins can fuel your momentum. Whether it’s ticking off a major task or noting a measurable improvement, take time to celebrate these moments. This celebration reinforces your progress and motivates you to push further.

Step 4: Implement and Adjust

The beauty of a 90-day goal is its built-in flexibility. Not everything will go exactly as planned, and that’s okay. Here’s how to keep your plan dynamic:

  • Embrace the Experiment:
    Think of your 90 days as a trial run. Some methods will work better than others—and that’s part of the process.
  • Evaluate Regularly:
    At the end of each 30-day period, ask yourself:
    • What worked?
    • What didn’t?
    • What can be improved?
  • Be Ready to Pivot:
    If a particular strategy isn’t yielding results, don’t hesitate to change course. Adjusting your plan isn’t a sign of failure—it’s a sign of growth.

Common Pitfalls and How to Dodge Them

Even the best plans can hit bumps. Here are a few common pitfalls and strategies to overcome them:

  • Overloading Your Plate:
    It’s easy to overcommit. Keep your list lean. Focus on a few high-impact goals rather than trying to do everything at once.
  • Neglecting Self-Care:
    Your goal should enhance your life, not add extra stress. Make sure your plan includes moments of rest or activities that recharge you.
  • Ignoring Small Wins:
    Celebrate progress, no matter how small. Recognizing these wins keeps you motivated and reminds you that every step forward counts.
  • Losing Sight of the Why:
    When you’re in the thick of things, revisit your original vision. Reminding yourself why you set the goal can reignite your drive during challenging moments.

Bringing It All Together

Setting a 90-day goal isn’t about quick fixes—it’s a methodical approach to making steady progress. It’s about knowing exactly what you want to achieve, breaking it down into practical steps, measuring your progress with clear metrics, and holding yourself accountable every step of the way. This framework isn’t just for professional growth; it’s adaptable enough to boost personal development too.

Imagine ending a 90-day period not only having achieved significant progress but also having learned valuable lessons about your process. With this method, each three-month cycle becomes a building block for continuous improvement—a powerful way to keep advancing in both your career and personal life.

So, if you’re ready to see tangible change without the burnout, try mapping out your next 90 days. It might just be the reset you need in the whirlwind of healthcare life.

By focusing on clear, actionable steps, measuring your progress with tangible metrics, and embracing flexibility, you can transform what feels like an endless to-do list into a series of achievable challenges. Give it a shot and see how a structured, yet adaptable, 90-day plan can help you reach new heights—one step at a time.

How to Start Designing a Life You Actually Love

(This is by far, one of my favorite coaching topics because when we’re so busy with just living life, we don’t think this is actually possible for us, but I assure it you it is.)

Have you ever felt like you’re just going through the motions?

You wake up, go to work, check off tasks, and before you know it—it’s bedtime, and you’re doing it all over again tomorrow.

Rinse and repeat.

Maybe you tell yourself, “This is just how life is.”
Or maybe you’ve thought, “One day, I’ll figure out what I really want.”
You just keep kicking the can down the road.

But what if “one day” never comes?

What if the life you actually want doesn’t just happen—but has to be designed?

Why Most People Don’t Design Their Life

If you feel stuck, you’re not alone.

Most people don’t intentionally design their life because:
1. They don’t know what they want. (It feels easier to stay busy than to stop and figure it out.)
2. They think they have to make huge changes. (“I’d have to quit my job, move across the country, and start over.”)
3. They don’t believe it’s possible. (“People like me don’t get to have extraordinary lives.”)

Here’s the truth:
You don’t need to know everything. You don’t need to overhaul your whole life. You just need to start.

How to Start Designing Your Life in 3 Steps

  1. Ask Yourself: What Would Make My Life Extraordinary?

Not “what’s realistic?”
Not “what’s practical?”
Not “what should I want?”

But what do I actually want?

Would you travel more? Work fewer hours? Take up a hobby that’s just for fun?

Give yourself permission to dream.

  1. Look for Small Ways to Bring That Into Your Life Now

You don’t need to quit your job and move to Bali to feel more alive.

If you dream of:
• More freedom: Can you start setting better boundaries at work?
• More adventure: Can you say yes to something spontaneous this week?
• More joy: Can you carve out time for something that lights you up?

Big changes start with small shifts.

  1. Decide to Be the Person Who Does It

Your life isn’t going to design itself.

You have to decide to take action—even if it’s small.
• Book the weekend trip.
• Sign up for the class.
• Say no to the shift that drains you.

The more you act like the person who has the life you want, the faster you become that person.

You don’t have to settle for a life that feels “fine.”
You’re allowed to want more.

The real question is: Are you ready to start designing it?

If you’re done waiting for “one day” and ready to start creating a life you love, I can help. Let’s talk— I offer complimentary, no-obligation consultations. You can book yours here.

Why You Procrastinate (and How to Stop)

Do you ever find yourself putting off tasks—especially the important ones?

You know what needs to be done.

You want to do it.

And yet… you don’t.

Instead, you scroll, reorganize your sock drawer, or decide now is the perfect time to deep-clean your fridge.

Why does this happen? And more importantly—how do you stop?

The Real Reason You Procrastinate

Most people think procrastination is about laziness or poor time management.

It’s not.

It’s about avoiding discomfort.

You procrastinate when a task feels:

• Overwhelming: “I don’t even know where to start.”

• Pointless: “This isn’t going to make a difference anyway.”

• Pressure-filled: “What if I fail?”

• Boring: “I don’t want to do this right now.”

Your brain is wired to seek pleasure, avoid pain, and conserve energy.

So instead of tackling the uncomfortable thing, your brain steers you toward quick hits of dopamine—social media, Netflix, or even ‘productive’ distractions (hello, color-coded planner).

How to Stop Procrastinating in 3 Steps

1. Ask Yourself: What Am I Really Avoiding?

Instead of beating yourself up, get curious.

• Is this task overwhelming?

• Am I worried about failing?

• Am I resisting boredom or discomfort?

Identifying the real issue makes it easier to solve.

2. Make It So Small You Can’t Say No

Your brain resists big tasks. So shrink them.

• Instead of “I have to finish this whole project,” say “I’ll work on it for 5 minutes.”

• Instead of “I have to write a report,” say “I’ll write the first sentence.”

• Instead of “I should go for a 5-mile run,” say “I’ll put on my shoes.”

Tiny steps build momentum.

3. Decide Ahead of Time

Procrastination thrives on indecision.

So decide—when, where, and how long you’ll work.

• “I’ll start at 10 AM, work for 15 minutes, then take a break.”

• “I’ll check patient charts right after shift huddle, before anything else.”

Then honor that decision like it’s a patient’s medication schedule.

Final Thoughts

Procrastination isn’t a moral failing—it’s a habit.

And habits can change.

What’s one thing you’ve been putting off that you can start—right now?

Doomscrolling: Why You Keep Doing It (And How to Stop)

Have you ever picked up your phone for “just a minute”… and lost 30?

You tell yourself you’ll only check your phone for a second.

Maybe it’s between patients, during a quick break, or while you’re unwinding after a long shift. But before you know it, you’ve scrolled through three news stories, a dozen social media posts, and a random article about a celebrity’s latest Grammy drama.

And somehow, instead of feeling better, you feel even more drained.

Sound familiar?

Why We Doomscroll (Even When We Know Better)

Doomscrolling isn’t just a bad habit—it’s how our brains respond to stress, exhaustion, and mental overload.

  • You’re looking for a quick break – After hours of high-pressure decision-making, your brain craves easy distractions.
  • You’re trying to decompress – A tough patient, a difficult conversation, or pure exhaustion can leave you reaching for mindless scrolling as a way to “shut off.”
  • It’s just there – Your phone is usually within reach, making it the easiest, fastest way to fill time in your day.

But here’s the thing: doomscrolling isn’t actually restful. It’s numbing. And numbing isn’t the same as recharging.

How to Stop Doomscrolling (Even When You’re Tired)

The good news? You don’t need superhuman willpower to break the cycle. Small, practical changes make a big difference.

1. Set a Hard Stop

Decide in advance when you’ll put your phone down. Try setting a timer for five minutes and then switching to something else when it goes off. (Yes, even if you’re mid-scroll.) Pro tip: the more your brain realizes you do what you say you will do, the easier it becomes.

2. Replace the Habit

Your brain needs an alternative. If you usually grab your phone as a default, try something else that actually helps you unwind—listening to music, stretching, closing your eyes for a minute, or even doodling.

3. Move Away from the Scroll Zone

Make doomscrolling less automatic. Put your phone in another room, tuck it in your bag, or flip it over so you don’t see notifications calling to you.

4. Ask Yourself: “What Am I Looking For?”

Most of the time, doomscrolling is a way to avoid something—boredom, stress, or an uncomfortable emotion. If you can name what you’re avoiding, you can decide if that avoidance actually serves you—or if it’s keeping you stuck.

5. Create a No-Scroll Zone

Choose one time of day to be completely phone-free. Maybe it’s while eating, winding down before bed, or during your shift breaks. Protect that space.

Try This Today

The next time you catch yourself reaching for your phone, pause and ask: What am I looking for?

If it’s boredom, stress relief, or distraction, try choosing something that actually helps you recharge.

Because when you stop doomscrolling, you gain back more than just time.

You feel more present in your own life.
You create space for things that actually restore you.
You end your day feeling more refreshed instead of drained.

And that is how you start creating and living a life you love—one small choice at a time.

If breaking this habit feels easier said than done, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Coaching can help you take back your time, energy, and focus—so you can build the life you actually want.

The Power of Support: How to Give and Receive It

Support isn’t just something we need; it’s something we all deserve. Life is too challenging and rewarding to navigate solo. The most successful people have mastered both asking for help and offering it in return. Support isn’t just a safety net—it’s a catalyst that creates courage, strengthens confidence, and fosters growth.

So, how do you build a network of encouragement that moves you forward, especially when fear and doubt threaten to hold you back? By being intentional about how you give and receive support.

How to Receive Support

Asking for help can feel uncomfortable at first, but it’s actually a gift to both parties. When you invite someone to support you, you’re allowing them to make a meaningful contribution to your life—a gift that comes full circle when you let them know how much their encouragement means.

Here’s the key: when someone supports you, they’re not doing the work for you. They’re there to remind you of your strengths, especially when you’re feeling stuck in your doubts.

They’ll challenge you—not by agreeing with excuses or allowing your self-doubt but by holding you accountable to your dreams and potential. They’ll remind you why your goals matter, even when you’re tempted to quit.

To strengthen this bolster this support, consider sharing the specific ways you hold yourself back when things get tough. For example, do you procrastinate, avoid difficult conversations, or shy away from big opportunities? Let your support person know what to look out for so they can gently call you out when needed. Their role isn’t to criticize—it’s to keep you aligned with the version of yourself you want to become.

How to Give Support

Supporting someone else is about more than cheering them on—it’s about truly seeing them for who they are and what they are capable of.

When you support someone, you’re recognizing their journey as their own unique path. You honor their courage, even when they doubt themselves. You see their desire to grow, contribute, and create a life they love.

Your role isn’t to fix their challenges or offer all the answers—it’s to remind them that they already have the wisdom and strength they need to find their way forward. Think of yourself as a trusted travel companion. You’re walking beside them, offering encouragement, insight, and perspective, while staying rooted in your own journey, too.

The Transformative Power of Connection

Support changes everything. When you allow yourself to lean on others and offer your support in return, you reach a level of ease and possibility that’s hard to achieve alone.

You don’t have to muscle through life on your own. Support is all around you—friends, family, mentors, and even colleagues can become partners in your growth. It’s as simple as asking and offering.

Consider:
Who in your life could you ask for support right now? And who might need your support in return?

Taking the time to strengthen these connections will not only propel you forward—it’ll deepen your relationships and create opportunities for growth on both sides.

Are you ready to take the next step? Let’s talk about how coaching can help you tap into the support and accountability you need to go after your biggest goals. Book a free consultation today, and let’s explore what’s possible.

Disconnected to Reconnect: How Taking Time Away Can Recharge Your Life

Have you ever felt like the constant buzz of notifications and endless to-do lists were running your life? As healthcare professionals, being “on” all the time is second nature—answering calls, managing crises, and juggling patient care. It’s exhausting.

I felt it too. That’s why I decided to fully disconnect for two nights at a rural cabin. No Wi-Fi, no emails, no distractions. Instead, I focused on simple joys—playing games, reading, skiing, and relaxing on the couch.

It was exactly what I needed.

Why Disconnecting Matters

For healthcare workers (or an entrepreneur like myself), being “on” 24/7 can feel unavoidable. Even on days off, the mental load doesn’t go away. Constant connection—to work, family, and even social media—can drain your energy, leaving little room for you.

When you disconnect, you allow your mind and body to rest. It’s in the quiet that you can process, reflect, and recalibrate. And stepping away from the noise often reminds you of what really matters: your well-being and sense of purpose.

What I Gained From Two Days Away

At the cabin, I gave myself permission to simply be. Without the constant pull of notifications or emails, I reconnected with myself—and with Scott (and Max, I guess– lol).

It felt strange at first, like I should be “doing” something productive. But the longer I stayed disconnected, the more I noticed how much lighter I felt. My thoughts became clearer, and my energy lifted.

When I came back, I felt refreshed and ready to take on life and work with a renewed sense of clarity.

How You Can Disconnect—Even If It’s Just for a Day

You don’t need a rural cabin to experience the benefits of unplugging. Here are a few simple ways to create your own moment of disconnection:

  • Plan a No-Tech Day: Turn off your devices, set your phone to “Do Not Disturb,” and let people know you’re unavailable.
  • Spend Time Outdoors: Go for a XC ski, take a walk, or enjoy a park—leave your phone behind or in airplane mode.
  • Create a Mini Retreat: Dedicate a few hours or a day to reading, meditating, or relaxing at home.
  • Set Boundaries for Work: Avoid checking emails or work messages on your days off.

Your Next Step

What’s one way you could unplug this week? Maybe it’s leaving your phone in another room, taking a walk after a shift, or planning a short getaway.

Disconnecting is just one way to embrace the slower pace of winter. For some, it might mean finding more rest, and for others, it could be about discovering small joys in the season’s quiet moments.

If you’re ready to explore what “wintering well” could look like for you, join me for my Wintering Well Workshop on January 28. Together, we’ll discover personalized ways to embrace the season, recharge, and make the most of winter’s quiet moments—whether that’s disconnecting, slowing down, or something else entirely.

This winter can be a season of renewal. Let’s find what works best for you.

Wintering Well: A Guide to Finding Warmth in the Cold

Winter is here, and if you’re anything like me, the shorter days and colder nights can feel heavy. It’s easy to find ourselves in a cycle of counting down until spring, waiting for the “hard” season to pass.

But what if winter didn’t have to be a season we merely endure? What if it could become a time to rest, reset, and even grow?

That’s the heart of Wintering Well — not fighting the season but learning to work with it.

The Pull to Hibernate

When winter comes, so often our instincts tell us to slow down, stay inside, and do less. And sometimes, that’s exactly what we need! But there’s a difference between resting to recharge and shutting down completely.

Have you ever found yourself:

  • Feeling stuck in a rut but unsure how to pull yourself out?
  • Battling guilt for not being as “productive” as you think you should be?
  • Feeling overwhelmed, even though your calendar says you should have more time?

You’re not alone. Winter seems to amplify these feelings for so many of us.

Reframing the Season

Instead of seeing winter as something to survive, we can choose to view it as an opportunity. A time to pause, reflect, and take care of the parts of ourselves that often get overlooked in busier seasons.

Wintering Well doesn’t mean pretending the challenges of the season don’t exist. It means finding new ways to meet those challenges. It means asking yourself:

  • What do I actually need this season?
  • Where can I give myself more grace and flexibility?
  • How can I use this time to prepare for what I want next?

It’s about designing a season of intentionality rather than defaulting to survival mode.

What You Can Do Right Now

If you’re ready to start Wintering Well today, here are two simple steps to get you started:

  1. Create a Daily Check-In: Take five minutes each morning to ask yourself, “What do I need today?” Whether it’s rest, connection, or a small win, setting this intention can help you navigate your day with purpose.
  2. Plan for Joy: Add one thing to your calendar this week that you genuinely look forward to. It could be a cozy evening with a book, a walk in the snow, or a phone call with a friend. Joy doesn’t have to be grandiose — it just has to be something you do.

A Taste of Wintering Well

Imagine:

  • Waking up on a frosty morning and feeling calm rather than rushed.
  • Having time set aside for reflection and planning, even in the thick of life.
  • Finding joy in the quiet moments and building habits that support your bigger dreams.

This is what Wintering Well is all about — giving yourself permission to create space for what truly matters, without feeling like you’re falling behind.

Ready to Dive Deeper?

If this resonates, I’d love to invite you to my Wintering Well workshop. It’s designed to help you:

  • Understand how winter impacts your mindset and energy.
  • Learn practical tools to create a season that works for you.
  • Set yourself up for success not just this winter, but all year long.

Because winter isn’t just a season to get through — it’s a chance to grow, rest, and reconnect with what matters most.

Join the Wintering Well Workshop Here and let’s make this winter one you look back on with gratitude, not exhaustion.

Can’t wait to see you there!

Permission to Dream: What If This Is the Year You Go After It?

Have you ever had a dream that felt completely out of reach? One of those “impractical” or “too big” goals you pushed aside because life got in the way, or because the steps to get there seemed impossible?

I know exactly what that feels like.

I remember standing outside the ER doors, staring at the hustle and movement on the other side, and wanting so desperately to be a part of it. At the time, I was a nurse working in Med/Surg, but the ER was a more skilled nursing position, and I wanted in. I was someone who dreamed of being one but didn’t know if it was possible. The fear of failure, the logistics, the “what if I can’t do it?” thoughts—they all felt bigger than the dream itself.

But the thing about dreams is that they don’t go away. They sit quietly in the background, waiting for you to notice them again. And when you do, they’re there, asking: What if this time is different?

The Year to Revisit Your Dreams

What if 2025 is the year you finally go after it? That dream you set aside—whether it’s going back to school, starting a side hustle, transitioning to a new role, or creating and living a life you love—what if you decided it was possible?

One thing I’ve learned from my own journey and from coaching others is that possibility starts with a thought. You don’t have to believe 100% that it will happen right away. You just need to practice the thought: Maybe it’s possible.

When I started to shift my thinking, I found proof that I could do hard things. I looked back at other times in my life when I achieved something that once felt impossible—like becoming a nurse in the first place. I realized that the same determination and small, consistent actions that worked before could work again. And they did.

Directing Your Brain Toward Possibility

Your brain loves to focus on what feels safe, predictable, and comfortable. That’s its job—to keep you alive. But achieving your dreams requires you to redirect your brain toward possibility. It’s like gently nudging it out of its default mode and asking it to consider something new.

Here’s how you can start:

  1. Practice the Thought: Each time your brain says, “This is too hard” or “I can’t do this,” counter it with, “I’ve overcome challenges before—I can handle this.” Over time, this practice builds self-trust and opens the door to possibility.
  2. Find Proof from Your Past: Think of a time when you accomplished something that felt impossible. Maybe it was finishing nursing school, raising a family while working, or navigating a tough situation at work. What strengths did you use? What steps worked for you then?
  3. Borrow Strategies That Worked: Look at what helped you succeed before. Did you break the goal into smaller steps? Did you rely on support from others? Use those same strategies to start moving toward your dream now.
  4. Take One Small Step: You don’t need a perfectly detailed plan to begin. Start with one small, manageable action that moves you closer. Every step builds momentum.

You Are Closer Than You Think

Dreams don’t require perfection; they require persistence.

One of my clients, a nurse who dreamed of becoming a nurse educator, felt stuck for years thinking it was too late. With a few mindset shifts and small, consistent steps, she not only achieved her dream but discovered a newfound passion and influence in her career. Whether it’s becoming a nurse, finding a new career path, or designing a life that feels extraordinary, the key is to start. Just start.

When I finally stepped through those ER doors, everything changed. That one decision to believe it was possible led me to where I am today—not just as a nurse but as someone who helps others achieve their own extraordinary lives.

The Last Day of 2024: Setting the Stage for an Extraordinary 2025

It’s the last day of 2024.

And before the ball drops, I want you to take a moment to celebrate something.

Maybe it’s something big—like a career milestone, a relationship you strengthened, or a goal you crushed.

Or maybe it’s the quiet, everyday wins—like showing up on a hard day, finding joy in unexpected moments, or simply making it through when things felt tough.

Because no matter what this year looked like, you’ve made it. And that’s worth celebrating.

Now, let’s talk about what’s ahead.

What Do You Want More of in 2025?

The beauty of a new year is the blank slate it offers.

It’s a chance to pause, reflect, and dream about what’s possible.

So ask yourself:

  • What do I want more of in my life?
  • What would make me excited to get out of bed each morning?
  • How do I want to feel at the end of next year?

Maybe it’s more time for the people you love.
More confidence in the choices you’re making.
More excitement, energy, and joy in your everyday life.

The best part? You don’t have to have it all figured out right now.

You just have to decide you’re ready to take the first step.

Designing Your Extraordinary Life

Creating an extraordinary life doesn’t mean changing everything overnight.

It’s about small, intentional shifts that lead to big results.

  • Learning how to manage your thoughts so they work for you, not against you.
  • Building habits that align with the person you want to become.
  • And giving yourself permission to dream about what’s possible—and go after it.

This time next year, you could look back on 2025 as the year everything started to change.

Not because you were lucky or the stars aligned—but because you decided you were worth investing in.

Ready to Make It Happen?

I’d love to help you make 2025 your most extraordinary year yet.

We’ll talk about what’s possible for your life, the steps to take, and how you can feel better and happier—without waiting for “someday.”

Let’s start this next chapter with excitement, confidence, and a plan.

Here’s to 2025 and everything it holds for you!
