This is the first email I'm sending in 2026.
The photo above is of my mom and I. We went on the trip of a lifetime, Paris (my favorite city in the world!), London, Venice and Rome. It was such a needed time out of from all the heartache we experienced in 2025.
Experiencing the Vatican was such a spiritual experience. We had a private tour and spent so much time in sacred spaces I could only dream of visiting before. I felt so connected to God and the Archangels and Mother Mary, it was more of a spiritual experience than a religious one for me.
I also experienced one of the most profound signs while I was searching for the perfect statue of Archangel Michael to bring home. If you know me, you know I am someone who has so much trust in my Spirit Team and they always answer me with the coolest signs and this is probably in my top two experiences so far, but I'll share that story another day otherwise this email will never end.
Here's the concept that I want to share with you. It's all about starting lines. Now these are not circumstances, they are decisions. This is when you finally make the DECISION to go on your path and you are starting at zero- completely unsure of what may be required of you and you know that there will be a lot of challenges, and that's okay. You have so much certainty and conviction in knowing that you're going to get to that finish line that you're willing to be at the starting line, even if no one else can see the vision of you at the finish line.
Starting lines are going to look different for everyone. For example, when I was 21 years old and I was just now going on my journey, my starting line was standing in front of an impossible goal to get a high school diploma. I was starting there as a teen mom, I was still on welfare. I didn't have any education yet, and I had no evidence that I could do anything. I had never accomplished anything in my life. I never even knew what feeling proud felt like, but that was my starting line.
Look at the trajectory of what happened because I decided to make that decision and go all in on getting that high school diploma. When I started, I had no idea of the avenues that would open for me. I had no idea that we would fast forward five years and I would be an army officer and have a master's degree. Now, those are results that I achieved within that period. Some of those things, you could say that most people would never experience them in their lifetime, and I did it in such a short amount of time.
I don't say this with arrogance, but with love and complete belief that those of you on the other side of this email can truly become the version of yourself that you want most. It doesn't matter at all where you're starting from. You could be starting as an executive, an entrepreneur, a teacher, an artist, a stay at home... it does not matter because your past is not your future. All that matters is if you are clear on where it is that you are going.
That's the concept that I wanted to share today and bring this around, because as I write this to you, this is my new starting line. I've been doing so much work internally and externally. It's so crazy, because I am exceptionally well in strategic advisory and executive coaching and getting really high-profile results that I could just live a very comfortable life if I was fulfilled by them. The reality is that I'm not, and I can't pretend any more that its my path.
While I will still continue to do some work here and there, I know that my personal mission has always been to come back and remind the world who they really are. Remind people that their past is not their future, and that you could really be starting at any starting line and create a future that's so widely different than the one that you are living in now.
And starting something new is messy and there's so much I don't know, but one thing I do know is that this is my truth. I can't outrun who I have been created to be and I hope this email is the very thing that reminds you about what that is for you.
Joe and I at St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican City. While this was a magical experience, the story of Joe and I coming back together is even more magical. I'll tell you about it soon...
It's all possible.
If you believe it is.
I do.
