2026 No BS
Aloha mai, did you miss me?
It’s been five months since I last felt inspired enough to sit down and write. The last quarter of 2025 honestly kicked me in the metaphorical nuts and curb stomped me at the same time. Lol.
For a little recap… In September, my family and I made the heartbreaking decision to put down the dog who saved me in my 20s, my soul dog Buster. He was a Frenchie x Staffy mix, an impulse rescue from 2014 who carried me through the last 11 years of my life. Losing him cracked something open in me.
After that loss, I distracted myself by rescuing a Frenchie x Boston Terrier. Much of her history was unknown, and let me tell you… she was a steep learning curve. She was sweet, but highly reactive to other dogs, people, cars, and honestly the list went on. My husband and I gave it everything we had. We hired a trainer, researched diet, mental stimulation, exercise routines, and did our absolute best. Eventually, we had to admit we weren’t the right fit for her needs.
She wasn’t suited to apartment life. She would bark all day while I worked from home, and it broke my heart to rehome her. But I know, deep down, it was the best decision for her wellbeing. She needed a home with a yard, space to run, and an environment that supported her nervous system instead of stressing it.
That experience taught me just how deeply and quickly I love. I grew attached to her so fast that having to rehome her after only three months left me emotional and crying for weeks. It also reminded me of a hard truth: sometimes we have to let people, animals, or situations go even when we love them, because keeping them can do more harm than finding them the right environment.
Work has also been a complete shit show since my last entry. I genuinely cannot believe how blatantly some companies show they do not care about their employees, run them into the ground, and then label it “success.” I won’t go into details, but I’ve never worked somewhere with such poor senior management and HR. They hire great people, then overwork, under-support, and exploit them while pretending it’s “for patient care.” Let’s be real. It’s about profit and greed.
I could not have been more excited for my well deserved holiday to attend my sister’s wedding in early January. I’m now soaking up much needed family time and setting intentions for 2026. Big changes and quiet moves are happening behind the scenes.
I’m genuinely excited for what’s coming next. I’ve finally found alignment with my Pisces North Node, releasing expectations, trusting the flow, and being a little delulu in the best way by believing everything is always working in my favour.
What I learned and released in 2025 is clearing the stage for what’s meant to enter in 2026. I feel more motivated, focused, and intentional than ever about embodying my highest self and walking my true path.
This year, I’m in my no bullshit era. I’m not tolerating energy, situations, or people that drain me. If it doesn’t bring happiness, growth, or alignment, it has to go. Life is too short to stay tied to anything that keeps you small, stuck, or unhappy.
This is my year to be big, bold, and move fast. It’s not my responsibility if others can’t keep up.
All the outdated narratives that kept me playing small or staying longer than I should have are officially done. I’m pivoting toward my fire, my passion, my joy.
And if you’re ready to channel this energy or want support activating it, book a private session with me. I’m here to help.
