Did you get on the Naughty or Nice List?
In this episode, I talk about the “nice list” and the “naughty list” in business, and it’s not really about Santa. It’s about how we treat our business and ourselves. As the year wraps up, I encourage a guilt-free self-check and a look ahead to 2026. Being on the nice list means making choices that support growth and long-term success. Being on the naughty list means habits that quietly hold us back.

I share real lessons from my own journey, including mistakes with collaboration, burnout, unfinished ideas, and weak systems. I explain why following through, asking for help, clearly sharing your offers, and protecting your work matter so much. My goal is to help you work smarter, be kinder to yourself, and start the new year with clarity and intention.
