Can you believe 2026 is just around the corner?

Today I’m diving into the one thing that changes everything: mindset.

From building my dream life through all the highs and lows - even the reinventions - one truth keeps showing up: the life you’re living 12 months from now will mirror the thoughts you choose and the beliefs you practice daily.

You’re in the driver’s seat. No permission slips required.

In this bite-sized, practical episode, I share three simple shifts you can start today:


Begin with gratitude: write three things you’re grateful for each morning to open your heart to abundance.


Catch your self-talk: when you hear “I can’t” or “I’m not ready,” pause and reframe - “I’m learning. I’m proud I showed up. Progress over perfection.”


Visualise your best self: it’s December 2026… you’ve honoured your goals, upgraded habits, and you feel proud, aligned and joyful. Borrow that version’s beliefs today.

If you’d love guidance and a likeminded community, join me inside Dream Life Coaching - we’re running a special Mindset Workshop in November to set you up for an incredible 2026, then December is for dreaming big and January for planning it all out.
