Hey love
Five years ago I posted a video on TikTok
It was about my 5-year plan
I sat down and looked at every part of my life
with honest eyes and an open heart
Health
Wealth
Relationships
Business
Friendships
Family
Spirituality
I gave each area a score — where I was then
Then I wrote where I wanted to be
And what I thought would help me get there
It wasn’t flashy
It wasn’t perfect
But it was clear
And that clarity changed everything
Fast forward to now
Someone found that video and commented
“It’s been five years. Did it work?”
And wow
That question stopped me in my tracks
Because the answer is
Yes
And so much more
Everything I wrote down — everything I longed to grow, shift, invite, become
It’s not just here
It’s evolved beyond anything I could have imagined back then
And no, I didn’t manifest it with Pinterest boards and perfect rituals
I did it by getting clear
Mapping a vision
And becoming her — 1% at a time
That’s the magic of this kind of work
It doesn’t require you to have it all figured out
It just asks you to start
To take yourself seriously
To get honest about where you are
and brave about where you want to be
So if you’re craving a moment to reflect
To reset
To see what’s ready to shift
Here’s what I recommend
Google “Wheel of Life”
Map out the categories of your life
Score where you are right now
Score where you want to be
Then write down what might help you bridge that gap
Simple
Honest
Transformational
A beautiful ritual for the end of the year
And a powerful compass for the one to come
You don’t need to control the outcome
You just need to take the first step
Then the next
Then the next
And one day
someone will ask you
“What actually happened?”
And you’ll smile
Because the answer will be
Everything
With love
