The list I made for 2026 surprised me!

Hey Reader,


I finally sat down and made my list of what I’m leaving behind in 2025.


And whew. It was honest.


  • I’m leaving behind saying yes out of obligation.
  • I’m leaving behind being the Superwoman who saves everyone but herself.
  • I’m leaving behind perfectionism and people-pleasing.
  • I’m leaving behind the overthinking, the second-guessing, the “let me shrink myself so no one is uncomfortable.”


All of it.

Because none of that energy can come with me into 2026.


If I want a year built on rest, reclamation, ease, clarity, and expansion…

I have to make space for it.

I have to stop carrying what keeps me tired, distracted, and unavailable for the life I’m praying for.


So today I’m asking you:


What do you need to leave in 2025 to make room for the life you’re dreaming of… the life you’re manifesting… the life your future self is begging you to claim?


Hit reply and let me know.

I’d love to support you through jt!


With excitement,

Nikia
