					<description><![CDATA[<p>Annual planning in January can feel more overwhelming than helpful. This post explores why over-planning and under-planning both miss the mark—and introduces a gentler, intuitive approach to preparing your business for the year ahead.</p>

		<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I&#8217;m hosting TWO live workshops next week —</span><b> for free!</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This time of year, my inbox is full to the brim with messages about my greatest nemesis&#8230; </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">ANNUAL PLANNING.</span></i></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">*cue dramatic villain music*</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The pressure to create a plan for </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">the next twelve months</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> makes me feel like I&#8217;m trapped under a weighted blanket — struggling to breathe and covered in sweat. Not the conditions under which I do my best work.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I know it&#8217;s important to have a plan for your business, but I believe the pressure to map out your entire year in the dead of winter is doing way more harm than good.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here&#8217;s why:</span></p>
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>I&#8217;m not a fortune teller!</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> I don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s going to happen in my life next week, much less in six months. Pretending otherwise feels like laughing in the face of the Universe.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">​</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Conventional annual planning relies on intellect.</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> You map out a logical plan for the future using the power of your mind instead of the wisdom of your intuition. Your mind has no idea what&#8217;s </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">really</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> possible for your life and business this year. Pretending otherwise significantly limits the magic available to you right now.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">​</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>When</b> <b>you jump into planning without examining the patterns, habits, and beliefs that are holding you back</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, you&#8217;re almost guaranteeing you&#8217;ll spend another year running on the same hamsterwheel that&#8217;s keeping you stressed, overwhelmed, overworked, and quite likely, under-resourced.</span></li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">BUT here&#8217;s the rub!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As annoyed as I am by the pressure to plan Your Best Year Ever, </span><b>I know that under-planning can cause huge issues in your business, too.</b></p>

		<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I know! It&#8217;s so frustrating! </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ahh!</span></i></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">*deep breath*</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you feel the tension between over-planning and under-planning, you might be a Planning Goldilocks like me. We sound like this:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">→ Planning out the entire year in advance feels </span><b>too rigid. </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">​</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">→ Relying entirely on intuition with no plan feels </span><b>too loosey-goosey.</b><b><br />
</b><b>​</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">→ Using a system that balances intuition with intentional implementation feels </span><b><i><strong>juuust right</strong>.</i></b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If this resonates, I think </span><a href="https://preview.convertkit-mail2.com/click/dpheh0hzhm/d3d3LnlvdW5lZWRhc2FiYmF0aWNhbC5jb20vcHJlc3MtcGF1c2U="><b>you&#8217;ll love next week&#8217;s workshop.</b></a></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here are the deets:</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">First, I&#8217;ll help you </span><b>identify personal patterns of stress, overwhelm, and overwork.</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> You&#8217;ll get clear on what’s </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">not</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> working for you — and learn how you can </span><b>release those patterns</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> going into 2026.</span></p>
<h6><b><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f52e.png" alt="🔮" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Clarify Your 2026 Priority </b><em><strong>Intuitively</strong></em></h6>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Next, I’ll guide you through a journey to help </span><b>clarify the intentions and practices you’re </b><b><i>truly</i></b><b> ready to bring forward</b> <b>this year</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> using intuition instead of intellect — guaranteeing a year of ease.</span></p>
<h6><b><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f5d3.png" alt="🗓" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Plan Your Time Off For The Year Ahead</b></h6>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Finally, we’ll lay the groundwork for a more restful 2026 by </span><b>proactively planning your time off</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> for the next 12 months, so you don&#8217;t end another year wondering, </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Where did all the time go?&#8221;</span></i></p>
<p><em><strong>Please note: this workshop will be live only.</strong></em></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That means there will be no replay. Why? Because we&#8217;re going deep, things are going to get personal, and I don&#8217;t want you holding back because you know you&#8217;re being recorded.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I want to do this work with you in real time. So, be sure to join live on Monday, January 19th at 3pm PT </span><b>or</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Friday, January 23rd at 9am PT.</span></p>

		<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Over the holiday weekend, I was really intentional about staying out of my inbox, because I knew what was coming. I opened it once (on Sunday, oops), took one look at the wall of sales emails, and immediately thought, </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I don’t want to be here.”</span></i></p>
<h4><b>Today, instead of asking you to buy something, I want to offer you a gift&#8230;</b></h4>
<p><b>I recorded a guided meditation to </b><b>help you recenter</b><b> after the Thanksgiving/Black Friday/Cyber Monday frenzy and </b><b>clarify your next steps for the rest of the year.</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s designed specifically for this weird, pressurized three-week sprint between Thanksgiving and the December holidays.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In these 20 minutes together, I’ll help you:</span></p>
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Shake off the holiday frenzy and drop back into your body.</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">​</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">We start by noticing what’s happening in your physical body — the tension, fatigue, and overstimulation that tend to show up after a holiday + a weekend of consumer pressure.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Unearth clarity about what </b><em><strong>you</strong></em><b> need to be well this month.</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">​</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rather than letting the season dictate your pace, I guide you through a grounding visualization that helps you release what’s not yours to carry and listen for what </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">you</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> need to feel well, steady, and resourced in December.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Identify what truly matters in your business for the next three weeks.</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">​</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">This isn’t about hustling harder. It’s about getting clear on the few things that actually deserve your attention before you step away for your holiday break — and gently letting everything else go.</span></li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If your nervous system is tired of being sold to…</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you’re feeling both </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">desperate</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> for rest </span><b>and</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> stressed about everything you “should” get done before the year ends…</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This meditation is my invitation to pause, breathe, and remember that you’re allowed to do this month differently.</span></p>
