A mid-year check-in

Can you believe we're more than halfway through 2026? This is the perfect time to pause, check in, and reflect on how things are going. How are you feeling about the goals you set at the beginning of the year? What's working well and what might need a little adjustment?

I've been doing my own mid-year check-in. As I've shared in previous newsletters, I'm a big fan of choosing a word of the year and letting it guide my decisions and intentions. Over the past several years, I’ve chosen words like Courage, Confidence, and Balance. This year, my word is Fuerte, Spanish for Strong.

Every day, Fuerte reminds me to show up, do the work, and trust that small, consistent actions add up. And they really do. I feel better than I have in years.

Even something as ordinary as my skincare routine has changed. It used to be something I rushed through without a second thought. Now, I'm practicing slowing down, being present, and treating those few minutes as an act of self-care. It's a small shift, but it's made a meaningful difference.

I'd love to hear about your year so far. Did you choose a word, set an intention, or adopt a mantra? If so, how has it shaped your decisions? What habits or routines are serving you well? Is there anything you're ready to let go of or do differently during the second half of the year?

And one more exciting update - my website! It has a fresh new look with the same heart and helpful content. I'd love for you to take a look and let me know what you think.

As always, thank you for your continued love and support. I'm sending it right back to you. ✨💛🤗
