The Ins and Outs of 2025

We made it to 2025, and let me tell you—I’m coming in with intention and a whole lot of boundaries. This year, it’s all about embracing what fuels me, letting go of what doesn’t, and stepping into a season of alignment. Here’s what’s in and what’s out for this year:

what’s in for 2025

1. Letting My Team Lead
   I’ve built an amazing team, and this year, I’m leaning on them even more. Delegation isn’t just practical—it’s powerful.
2. Lacing Up and Hitting the Rink
   Roller skating? Yes, please! It’s nostalgic, freeing, and a monthly date I’m giving myself to stay active and have fun. 
3. Skincare and Hydration
   Glow goals are in full effect. I’m doubling down on skincare routines and making hydration a priority. Water bottles are basically accessories now.
4. More Mommy-Daughter Dates
   She’s growing up so fast, and I’m soaking in all the time I can. From movie nights to ice cream dates, these moments are priceless.
5. More Daddy/Mommy Dates
   Because love takes intention, and I’m all about keeping the romance alive while showing our daughter what a strong, healthy marriage looks like (even if she does get a little jealous she’s not invited!)
6. Celebrating Friends’ Birthdays
   Life is too short not to celebrate the people you love. Whether it’s a big party or a small dinner, I’m all in for making my friends feel special.
7. Turning Off My Work Phone by 6:30 PM
   Boundaries are a form of self-care, and I’m reclaiming my evenings for family, rest, and personal time.
8. Protecting My Peace
   If it costs me my peace, it’s too expensive. This year is about staying centered, even if that means saying “no” more often.
9. Elevating My Work Wardrobe
   I had way too many days of hoodies and leggings! I’m stepping up my wardrobe game because showing up for myself feels good—and honestly, it’s overdue.

what’s out for 2025

1. Doing Things I Really Don’t Want To
   It’s a hard no for anything that doesn’t align with my goals, values, or energy. If it’s not a “heck yes,” it’s a “no.”
2. Overcommitting
   I’ve fallen into the “say yes to everything” trap before, and it snuck back in a bit during 2024. This year, I’m guarding my time and energy like a hawk.
3. Overanalyzing Every Little Decision
   2025 is about trusting my gut and moving forward. No more mental spirals over the small stuff.
4. Procrastinating Self-Care
   Putting myself last? Not happening. If I’m not at my best, nothing else will be either. Some people will think I’m acting “brand new…” and I am! LOL!
5. People-Pleasing
   Making everyone happy at the expense of my own happiness? Yeah, that’s staying in 2024. (It slipped back in a little, but I’m pulling it back. Bless my Enneagram 2 heart!)
6. Carrying Guilt Over Boundaries
   If someone can’t respect my boundaries, that’s on them—not me. I’m done feeling bad for protecting my energy. (So serious about this one)
7. Tolerating Mediocrity in My Space
   Whether it’s clutter, negative energy, or things that no longer serve me, I’m clearing it out.

2025 is the year of alignment, joy, and intentionality. I’m choosing to lean into what lights me up and letting go of anything that doesn’t. Here’s to making this year one to remember—on our terms.
