2023 – My first ever social media detox.
I took a whole week off IG.
I ended up doing it twice and now I do it at least once every year. Might seem challenging but oh so fcking liberating! I learned how to enjoy life off screen and to validate myself.
2024 – 365 days of gratitude
the challenge was showing up every single day, even when life felt heavy and I didn’t have anything “exciting” to share.
I strengthened my “happiness is a choice” muscle this year and realized how lucky I truly already am.
2025 – Healed my relationship with alcohol
I decided to drink only once a week, intentionally.
There were some weeks I drank more than once because I wanted to, but I also ended up doing a 7-week detox before drinking like a fish again for an occassion.
This taught me balance and self-control, baby.
And 2026?
I’m choosing something simple but lord knows it requires commitment: 8–10k steps every day.
I’ve missed days before. I’ve been inconsistent.
And that’s exactly why this is the challenge.
I stopped setting “goals” or New Year's Resolutions, and started setting challenges.
The problem with goals?
They make “success” conditional — defined by an outcome, not the process.
Miss them? You feel like you wasted a year, forgetting the skills, lessons, growth, and resilience you built along the way.
Hit them? You’re immediately chasing the next thing, because your worth got tied to an outcome.
But let’s be real — you don’t actually want the thing.
You want the FEELING you think that thing will give you.
That’s why I stopped setting goals and started setting intentions — how I want life to feel — and then take actions without being attached to how or when it unfolds.
I look for that feeling that already exists in my life while still striving for better. Not from lack — from responsibility. It’s my job to show up better for my life while appreciating what I already have.
💥 My only real resolution every year? Be 1% better than yesterday.
That's also why I set CHALLENGES 🙌
A challenge is YOU vs YOU.
Not about achievement — about identity.
Who you become by showing up, staying consistent, and choosing the hard thing in small, doable ways.
It’s about becoming the person you say you want to be — without waiting for motivation, permission, results, or validation.
Calling yourself out. Moving past excuses. Falling in love with the process.
Because if you say you want something but won’t do the unglamorous thing required… what message are you sending yourself? And how can life meet you if you’re not meeting yourself?
A challenge is a promise you keep with yourself.
And when you keep it, trust comes back.
You stop waiting for perfect conditions and learn to make things work anyway.
You shift from chasing milestones to making ordinary days matter.
You become the creator of your future — not passive, not reactive, not chasing.
And yes… you show how others should treat you.
These challenges give my days PURPOSE.
Meaning, momentum, direction — every day, not just during big moments 💖
Because the biggest flex isn’t what you achieved.
It’s that you fcking held yourself.
So as this year closes, don’t ask: What do I want to achieve?
Ask: What’s one small challenge that would help me become who I’m growing into?
PS — if one of those challenges is finally getting professional support so you can show up calmer, clearer, and happier for your life, your people, and your work — this is your sign.
