New Year, New Intentions: Doing More of What You Love

Happy New Year, everyone! It’s the beginning of 2026, and as we look ahead, I have a big question for you: What is it that you really love to do that you just haven’t been doing enough of lately?

In this episode, I’m inviting you to join me on a mission to bring more joy, simplicity, and open space into your life. We talk about why we often fill our calendars until there’s no room left for ourselves, and why I’ve started scheduling everything from my naps to walks with my husband and dog.

We also dive deep into the habits that build happy, lasting relationships. I share some powerful research from John Gottman about celebrating wins and expressing gratitude , and I tackle a phrase I hear way too often: "I don't want to be a nurse or a purse." I’ll tell you exactly why that mindset might be the very thing keeping you single and how to shift toward a more generous, giving heart.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

The Blessing of Simplicity: How I’m using AI to simplify my kitchen and my life.


Breaking the "Nurse or Purse" Habit: Why this phrase is a total turnoff to quality men and how to actually handle financial and health expectations.


Mastering the Closeness Loop: Learning the difference between reacting and truly responding with empathy.


The Art of the "Lasso": Tips for women on being easy to schedule with and for men on developing patience.


Secure Attachment: How to practice warmth and reliability so your partner feels safe with you.

Whether you’re a "Golden Bachelor" or re-entering the dating scene after a gray divorce, let’s make this the year you move from "me" to "we" by being the healthiest, happiest version of yourself.
