Hi, Happy Monday.

I hope you had a gorgeous weekend.

It was my birthday last week, so I spent my weekend immersed in nature at Yosemite, somewhere I have always wanted to go.

There is nothing better for the mind than a total nature reset!! 🌵

It’s the time of year when I write my January letter for next year. This is a letter I write to myself about the year ahead… as if it’s already happened.

It spans: Business | Life | Love | Relationships | Family | Health | Wealth

I’ve done this for many years. It’s crazy how much comes true. It forms the basis for my company's vision.

I recently read a version of this out to my team, to share with them what’s in my mind for Firebelly in the coming year and how their roles feed into the vision. It’s powerful stuff!

But… it does take a lot of work:
→ Getting really clear about what is important to me
→ Stripping back everything that doesn’t feel aligned or true

The edit stage is the most important part…removing all the noise so the focus is on the things that really matter.

I then use this vision throughout the year during quarterly check-ins to rewrite anything that’s evolved or changed (which is tons, given how much the world has changed in just a year!).

The newsletter was a big part of the vision last year, and it’s something we’ve done every week. I hope you continue to enjoy this as we work on making it better and better through 2026.

But until then…

Let’s get into this week.
