Presence versus Performance

2025 hit me like a bulldozer. There was no amount of reading and research that could have prepared me for this level of intensity, and I want to start this annual review by saying thank you.

I’m grateful to my body and brain for mostly holding up. I’m grateful I have access to spaces and tools such as breath-work, ecstatic dance, Yoga, Gym Sessions, Friends and entrepreneur retreats that have helped support my mental health throughout this journey.

Most of all, I’m grateful to the people in my life – my family, friends, colleagues, and this community – who all showed up in wonderful ways this year.

So much happened, but here’s a quick bullet-point overview before I dive in:

I want to start this year not focusing only on the goals of what I want to improve (performance), but on expanding on the positive, on what worked, on my strengths (presence). Whatever we focus on, expands! Lets expand our best selves in 2026!

  • Presence vs Performance, ease and flow is my motto to win in 2026

BEST BOOK: MINDSET TRAINING

This book is my support on how I approach work, business and love. I read it over and over and completed a coaching certification by PQ Institute in 2023.

I will be sharing about Positive Intelligence for Business Success in our upcoming retreat!

BEST HABIT: MORNING MOVEMENT

I am still struggling to win back my mornings as I have a new leadership position at work. But I can see how my facia, mood and mindset are at best when I have at least 15minutes in the morning to move and meditate!
