In this video, I’m talking through my reflections on 2025 and how I’m feeling about stepping into 2026. I share what’s changed for me, why I feel like I’m at the end of a cycle, and how I’m approaching this next year differently, even though it feels uncertain and a little uncomfortable. This vlog also includes clips from my Austin and Fort Lauderdale layovers. It’s a quieter, more personal video and less focused on travel logistics.

About This Video

In this video, I’m reflecting on why stepping into 2026 feels so different for me—like I’m officially at the end of a cycle that started in 2020. I talk through that deep, intuitive feeling that the “era” I’ve been stuck in is finally complete, and how I feel more grounded now than I did even at the beginning of 2025. A big theme here is letting go: letting go of how people perceive me, letting go of noise, and letting go of trying to force content to perform. Even something as simple as cutting my hair felt like a freedom move—because I did it for me, not for anyone else. You’ll also see quieter layover moments from Austin and Fort Lauderdale—realistic, in-between holiday travel where everything is randomly closed and the plans don’t pan out. I share how I’m traveling differently now: going somewhere to see, not be seen, being more present, and not walking around with headphones in all the time. I also open up about the doubt that creeps in around a big move I want to make this year—and why I’m choosing to trust God and take the leap anyway, even if it’s uncomfortable.
