It's over a week into the new year and let me guess. You're already eyeballing that list of resolutions you scribbled down. Somewhere between "exercise more" and "finally clean out the junk drawer," is there a little whisper that says: "I wish I felt more like...me"?

The New Year is a blank canvas begging for new color and bold brushstrokes. But if your paint palette is cluttered with old stories, self-doubt, and maybe even a little fear, it's time to switch your mindset.

So, let's make this weekend a turning point, shall we?

This isn't about throwing out everything. This is about letting go to change your direction. It is about setting down the baggage keeping you from running free into this fresh new year.

What's Been Holding You Back? (Be Honest, Now)

Before we leap forward, we've got to glance over our shoulders. Ask yourself:

1. Is there a story you keep telling yourself about what you can't do?

2. Are you stuck clinging to a version of you that no longer fits, like last year's jeans?

3. What fears are playing on a loop in your mind, making you pause before you even begin?

Don't be shy—it's human nature to drag these invisible weights around. But the truth is, those doubts and old scripts? They're so last season.

Your Weekend Challenge:

Out with the Old, In with the YOU

This weekend, I want you to try a little experiment—a simple but powerful exercise in letting go.

Step 1: Write It Down

Grab a notebook. I use a notebook because I now write everything in a place where I can find it. I need my notes bound (spiral for ripping out even better). Write down one or two things you're ready to let go of. Maybe it's a limiting belief like, "I'm too old to start something new." Perhaps it's regret over a path not taken.

Step 2: Say It Out Loud

Why? There's power in hearing your own voice. Read that list and declare, "I am done carrying this." You can even (if you are feeling brave) call a friend and say it confidently.

Step 3: Replace and Release

Now, write down what you're welcoming instead. Are you inviting courage to the table? Confidence? That spark you haven't felt since the summer of 2000. Close your eyes and picture your life without that old weight holding you down. Are you ready to breathe it in?

Old Passions, New Energy

Here's where you watch the sunrise. Once you let go of what's been blocking you, space opens up for new adventures, dreams, and even those forgotten passions that once made your heart race.

Remember when you used to lose hours on a jog or run, going for hikes in new places, painting, writing, dancing, scrapbooking or dreaming? What if this is the year you go back to that and reignite your inner flame? Trust me: it's not too late, and you're not too busy or too anything.

You've just been waiting for permission to dust off those dreams. Well, guess what? Permission granted.

Let's Make It Happen

Imagine what could happen with a guiding flame if this weekend feels like a spark. That's where I come in: your biggest fan, truth-telling coach, and guide to turning this chapter into a happy journey filled with lightness.

If you feel called to reignite old passions and step boldly into what's next, let's connect. Let's chase that old spark. I'm here, ready to listen to your dreams and see where you can go.

You still have so much magic left to share. And this year? It's your year to let the world see it.

So, what are you letting go of this weekend? Drop it like it's hot, and step into the light. You've Got This.

With love and laughter,

Kathy
