Best Year Yet — Becoming Your 2026 Self

Monika Freeman Episode 106

Hello, my love. Happy New Year's Eve!!

This episode is about the small things I changed in my life to create the "Best Year Yet."  I hope it inspires you with simple ways to achieve your 2026 Best Self without pressure or overwhelming resolutions.

So often, at the onset of a new year, we focus on the "end" result. But most journeys don’t move in a straight line. They have ebbs, flows, pauses, and redirections. What carries us forward isn’t intensity — it’s alignment. 

In this episode, I share how shifting into micro-aligned actions completely changed my life, my nervous system, and the way I run my business. Instead of sprinting toward outcomes and burning out, I learned how to create momentum through consistency — showing up in small, sustainable ways that felt safe in my body.

Topics Discussed:
• Why sprinting leads to burnout
• The difference between New Year's marathon energy vs hustle energy
• How 20 minutes a day creates lasting change
• Consistency as a lifestyle, not a task
• How small habits rewire your nervous system for safety
• Building momentum without pressure or punishment
• Why alignment collapses timelines faster than force

I share personal examples — from movement and wellness to business building — and how committing to realistic daily actions helped me build peace, confidence, and long-term sustainability.

This episode is for you if you’re in a building phase, in the messy middle, or learning how to trust your own pace again. You don’t have to rush. You don’t have to force. You don’t have to sprint to get where you’re going.

When you take one small, aligned action every day, something beautiful happens. Your cup slowly fills. One day, it overflows — and from that overflow, you’re able to give without losing yourself.

This is the exact philosophy behind Best Year Yet: Becoming Your 2026 Self — because real transformation doesn’t come from doing more or creating another New Year's resolution. It comes from who you become in the small moments.

I’m rooting for you. Always!!
