you're going to have the best year of your life 💸 🍀🧠 watch this to get motivated for the new year

Happy 2026, y'all. Today, we are making our vision boards and our goals for the new year. This is a very relaxing, laid-back vision board. You will not be feeling this January dread and feeling overwhelmed and like you need to do a billion things. As a matter of fact, I'm actually talking about how last year started off on the worst foot for me and how there were a lot of good things that came out of it, but I went into the year thinking nothing good was going to happen because I was just so overwhelmed and stressed out and just so down and depressed and just in the dumps. So, I think you guys are really going to like this video. I hope you guys are making your vision boards along with me. Love y'all and let's get into it. Hi y'all. Welcome back to my channel. Or if you guys are new here, hello. We are vision boarding and planning for the new year, which is my favorite thing. I'm like an Inagram type three, Leo. I don't know. all those personality, whatever all the personality tests are that like love a vision board, love goal setting, love planning, love achieving, that is me. So, this is like really truly my bread and butter and I love using the beginning of the year as a good excuse and kind of like a marker for the next chapter. Before we get into this video, I did want to just talk a little bit about where I was like last year versus this time this year, like today, and how drastically different that is. And I'm sharing this not to like brag obviously. I'm sharing this to give some sort of like hope because my like where I was a a year ago now was one of the darkest places. Sorry, this is moving. one of the darkest places I've ever been in in my life. For those of you may who may not know, we lost my little brother two years ago this month, which obviously has been like the most devastating, catastrophic, heartbreaking, heart-wrenching thing I've like ever had to go through in my life. And the grief has been so dark and so hard. And people who have gone through grief and loss like understand that like just because maybe it looks like it's not, it does not mean it's not there. It's always there. It's just always there. It's always going to be there. Of course, like it comes in waves and it can feel different at different points and of course, but especially in the initial year, the year year and a honestly the second year I feel like was even harder with group. Anyway, this time last year, I was just in a very very very dark. Honestly, it was scary. Like I was in a very very dark place. I had like no hope for my future. I had no real like desire. I don't know. I just was like really really really depressed and very very down and just really in heavy grief. And I truly like did not see a world in which good things would happen to me at all. I think if you only see me and like know me from the internet this might not like make sense to you but just from things that have happened like very traumatic events that have happened throughout my life. I developed this belief that like nothing good ever happens to me, like if there's something bad, like I had lost a step sibling, my cousin who I was very very close with, and my brother all under the ages of 24 within like 6 years of each other. Anyways, like no need to trauma dump just like giving context. There's just been like a lot of really really hard things that have happened and it made me believe that like good things don't happen to me. Like I just have like really struggled with that in the past year. My life has changed so much. I'm actually going to insert a clip of where I was and really like what in my life has happened since. I will say like of course the grief is still there. It will always be there. There's very very hard times. Like I'm still really struggling in that area and I'm sure I will be for a very long time. But my life like I have joy and like happiness again which I just didn't think was possible. And I'm sharing this with you guys because I needed someone to like say that last year. Like I needed to watch someone. I would literally Google people who have like lost siblings and like lived good lives. Like I would Google people who had like gone through like similar traumatic experiences so I could see proof of good things happening or just like some sort of hope. I went into last year with no hope which also made me think like this year's going to suck because I didn't do like a great vision board. I didn't do like a great you know what I mean? like I was just so low that I thought I like didn't have it in me to like believe in myself and to believe in like where my life was going cuz I was so so so beaten down. And of course I still feel a lot of those things, but my life is so much better. Like I actually could cry just by like it's actually so crazy. So anyways, I'm going to insert this clip so you guys can just see. I'm just really really really down. Like it I think yesterday was probably my darkest day. Obviously, grief like comes in waves and it's never gone away like and it I don't expect it to ever go away. I understand that. I know that. But like I'm almost 8 month what am I 8 months and 2 days from today and it feels like it happened 12 hours ago and I feel like the sixth and the seventh month specifically have been the hardest. And actually a lot of people in my family have been saying that like we all like separately have been like this month has just like annihilated me. And yeah, I'm just like really really really going through it. I'm going through it. I feel like I'm failing in every aspect of my life. I'm trying so hard. Like I'm working so hard. I'm trying so hard and I just can't. Like this week I just finally crashed. Like I've been in bed basically for like 3 days because I just like can't get out of bed besides to like do hobbies and stuff which is like typically when you guys see me do things. And I just I mean I still am working. I'm just working from my bed. But yeah, I'm just so depressed. Like I'm And it's not even just depression. Like grief is so much different than depression. I wish I was just depressed. Like I I wish I was, but I'm just like very very very deep in grief. And I am terrified for the holidays because I know it'll only get so much worse. And like I was thinking the other day like I filmed something last like last December because we've already lost my stepbrother 5 years ago and I filmed something last December being like if you're grieving in the holiday season like I see you. I understand. Like I'm having a hard time. I'm like are you kidding me? Like I'm trying so hard to even survive honestly at this time. So that's where I'm at. Pretty miserable. I just like want something good to happen in my life. like something. Anyways, I'm drinking my coffee. I'm going to like do my stupid devotional. Makes me so angry. And then I have a hair appointment today. >> He gets me almost every time. grow >> in the midst of summer. >> Happy birthday to >> watching it in. >> Happy birthday. >> Happy birthday dear fall. Oh yeah. >> It happens every >> Oh my god. Oh my god. Anything. gravel road towards the sea. I blink and I remember you. >> I hope that gave some sort of hope. It has been quite the year and I'm excited for us to take some time to vision board and goal set for the new year. Okay, so moving on. Something that I'm very passionate about is you shouldn't spend so much time building a career that you forget to build a life. This is something that I have learned through loss at the end of the day. Like your career actually doesn't matter. And as passionate as I am about what I do and as much as I love it and I love working, it just will never be more important than the people in my life, the friends in my life, the family in my life, like my actual life that I'm building. I like to set goals and plans and visions and stuff for like my personal life on top of my career. I'm sure we all do. But I almost do it in the same way career-wise. Like I have goals even with hobbies. Like I have like specific goals that I'm trying to like maintain and achieve and and work through. So I say all that to say I'm doing like multiple different categories. The first one being my personal life. The second one being friend of mine, my home and hobby brand. The third being house guest, my podcast, which also kind of like social media and stuff will kind of like attach to that. Then of course I have my hobbies. And this year something that I'm adding is a style vision board. This isn't necessarily goal setting, but I made a Pinterest board of different outfits and style and things that I'm feeling drawn to and that inspire me and that I feel like I want to wear and just things that I love. And I'm actually going to make that into a board for my closet room cuz there's so many times there's too many times honestly where I'm in my closet. I'm like I have no idea what to wear and I have the coolest stuff and I have great clothes like don't get me wrong but I just I don't know sometimes my brain just like stops working when I'm in my closet. So I want to make a vision board for outfits and stuff that are inspiring me. So if I need like some inspiration I can just look to the vision board. So, tonight I'm just going to finish up some of the Pinterest boards. My process with building goals, vision boards, all of the thing. Oh my god, that one's so cute. Anyway, my process is I start on a Google doc and I separate into all those different categories. From there, I make goals that are very, very specific goals. Next, I will make a board on Canva. And I typically do that from printer photos or sometimes I'll like Google specific things that I need, make that on Canva, print it out, cut it up, make it into a vision board. I don't really do the magazine route unless I'm doing it with friends at a party just because I like to have like very specific things like I need like an anthropology storefront where I can cut a little recipe journal or dinner cards and put it on there so I can physically see like my products in the anthropology like physical stores, not just online. So far today, I've actually finished the personal one and then I have finished my style one, which the stuff is so cute, guys. Feel like so good about these. I'm loving them. And I'm going to go through and finish up my other boards so that in the morning I can have a nice perfect morning where I set the vibe just right. I have the candles burning. I have a Martha Stewart documentary on because that is what I need. And I get going. Something that I did want to talk about though is I have like an ongoing list of things that inspire me. Like, you know, when you just like need that wind of motivation where you're like staying up until 3:00 a.m. making a vision board, like you need that feeling, you need to channel that feeling. I have a list of things that do that for me. So, I'll just share mine right now. I have this all written out because I go back to it a lot. The absolute number one top of my list is the Martha Stewart Master Class. Now, MasterClass, I don't know what kind of drugs they are putting in masterclass, but my god, like I've watched gardening masterclass. I've watched how to shop at a farmers market. I've watched so many different master classes. And however they are editing and shooting those videos, they are the most calming videos in the entire world. I just love them. And obviously, my number one favorite one is the Martha Stewart master class. And let me tell you guys, that gave me the feeling of being in middle school at an evangelical church camp in Texas when the music is on, the fog machines are going, your hands are up. You know what I mean? Like that is how I felt while watching the Martha Stewart master class. And it's just cannot recommend it enough. Number two, the Martha Stewart documentary. You guys will, you know, of course, see a see a pattern here. Which reminds me, I actually need to add Cherry Bomb to this list. I can't believe I haven't added Cherry Bomb to this list. Cherry Bomb. I'm actually seriously not even quite sure what Cherry Bomb is. Like a food media company. I have the magazines. I'm a subscriber back there. Um they're quarterly and I read them every single time they come. It's just like the it's like Christmas morning when they come. I love their podcast. Their host is so calming and they have all of these different people that are really like having to do with food. And so of course they're talking like coasting and things like that. And I just find that podcast to be so interesting. I really like podcasts that are both comforting but also inspiring and I learn from. Like those podcasts make me feel like a better person, but not in a way that makes me feel like I need to change all in my life. It just inspires me to like take little tips and tricks and I just love it. Also, side note, while we're here talking about like comforting podcasts, the Amy Polar podcast with a garden, I've watched that thing like four times. That is one of my favorite podcast episodes that has ever been created. and the way she talks about Jeffree and like she's so cute. Aa and both of them she's so cute and like giddy and excited to be there and she brings her gifts. Like it's just such a sweet sweet podcast but on my list next up we have the garden podcast my guest. Love that podcast. Also very comforting gives me the same feeling. I want my life at all times to feel like an Nancy Myers movie and like these are things that are making me feel that way. kind of more like analog I guess would be the way to do it because a lot of podcasts like even like pop culture or like gossipy ones or whatever which like I love from time to time those like make me like too locked in to what's going on in the real world. You know what I mean? Like I want to step back and like read a cookbook and garden and like needle point and something to like regulate my nervous system. Does that make sense? Like I don't know. I do love a gossip podcast, like don't get me wrong, but I like this stuff for when I'm wanting to like zone out and unplug and for anyone who's wanting more of like an analog 2026. I'm seeing that all over Tik Tok. That I think would be a really good recommendation. Also, any Taylor Swift documentary and Taylor Swift like live concert. I used to watch Reputation all the time. I'm watching Eras of course the recent doc was so good. Next thing, go on a silent walk. I know that they were like annihilating people for these silent walks. Like let me just tell you like I don't feel like clarifying that a walk is a silent walk is a crazy thing. Like everyone you go on a walk and it's like you have headphones on, you know? Anyway, but going on a silent walk or just a walk in general makes me like actually clear my mind and I come up with the best ideas when I'm on a walk. Like if I'm not like seriously if I need to think of a good idea, if I need to be inspired, if I need to just like have some sort of a creative energy running, a walk will do it for me. Um, last thing, which is probably the most important as far as like knowing what's going on in my brain, if anything at all, ideas, ideas for the podcast, like actually learning and like processing what's going on in my brain, like turning it into something would be morning pages. I actually am so excited. I bought one of those is it Louise Carmen notebooks, like the journals, and I'm getting back into my morning pages. So, if you guys are unfamiliar with morning pages, it's a concept created by Julia Cameron and you wake up and you journal for three pages straight, pen to paper, you don't take your pen off the paper. I always say it was like the greatest tool for me to like get to know myself and understand myself better. And there will be certain things that come out like sometimes you're writing like I have nothing to say. I do not know what's going on, you know, of course, but then all of a sudden you're writing about something that you like did not even realize was still in your head at all, like in your brain in any capacity. and I will like connect like, "Oh, that's why this thing bothered me in this setting." And then I'm able to like fix the root and then that stuff isn't like bothering me anymore. You know, it's actually like seriously the best practice out of anything that I do like wellness-wise besides exercise. I would say like the actual morning pages and it's a really it's great because it's like free therapy in a way. It is truly like the most helpful thing ever. Okay, so after I hang up with y'all, I'm going to finish the rest of these vision boards and then maybe finish a couple of them in the morning. And then um in the morning, we're going to set the scene, watch a Martha do, cut some photos, and start on the vision boards. But we're going to go through everything very specifically. Um I hope you guys are vision boarding with me while we do this video cuz it'll be like so fun. use my tan. I would really appreciate some grace. I just applied my tan. I need to wash it off in a couple of hours. Okay, so I just made my coffee. I'm about to put on the Martha Stewart doc and I am going to finish the vision boards for house guest in for friend of mine digitally and then we will get back to what we're doing here. >> We will always talk about the really big figure enormous mark on the culture. >> She's one of the most powerful women on THE PLANET. MARTHA STEWART. SHE HAS REMAINED relevant for more than 50 years. So, I think I have all of my digital boards finally done. The style one was completed last night. My personal board was also completed last night. And then I just did the house guest board and the friend of mine board. There are a lot of boards. I don't know where everything's going to go. I'll be honest. I have my friend of mine, the house guest, personal, and then style. This is going to be probably an hour of cutting up all of this stuff. I do have my actual corkboards. One of them's in the closet ready to go. doesn't truth and last year and civil charges by the public first see the likes that during surgery. She said she was watching but just >> my style board is now finished as you guys can see. So, as it turns out this year, I like jewelry stacks. I really want to focus on buying less and just getting high quality pieces. I really want like a tennis bracelet stack, which obviously will not all be collected this year. I want to start collecting jewelry that's much nicer that I'll have and like pass down one day. I don't even know if I'm going to be able to get a single piece this year, but it is just something I'm thinking of. This is actually a really nice exercise because I didn't even really realize that this is the stuff that I wanted to wear. Everything like I love this jewelry. I love color. You can tell I'm happy because this is all color. A fun statement bag. I love a bit like lots of fringe. I love this belt. Like this right here is my dream belt. I don't know where I can find that, but I need it immediately. Um it's a ton of statement coats. I'm obviously going to have to update this for summer. But it's just everything. Lots of ballet flats, cowboy boots, obviously kitten heels as always, big blowouts, statement bags. I really like a green bag. I love these Chanel flats. That's going to be something I think that I collect like later in life. Like I just love Chanel ballet flats. And right now we're we're on like a Sam Edelman ballet flat budget. Lots of fringe, lots of statement coats, statement pieces, things that you'll collect. I think this is the sickest bag ever. I just love this. And so I'm going to hang this in my closet. You guys will see later. And it's going to be so nice because when I'm looking for inspo, it will be right there. How nice is this? I forgot an entire sheet. So, I'm going to have to add this because I like these two I feel like are like big statements. So, I'm going to add these really quick. I love jewelry like this right now. And I love a green sparkly bag. Like I penned this one as well. They're just amazing. Like that to me is a neutral. naturally hung up on me. >> I appreciate that. I thought she said to me, "I want to have dinner at cucumber sandwiches early morning. control. Why is Martha didn't have the control? >> Here is my personal. I am wondering if I'm going to regret having so many different vision boards. The closet is more of a vibe. This is my personal and I did want to talk through just some things that I want to be doing and also share with you guys my journal ecosystem as everyone as all the cool kids are talking about on Tik Tok. I have a Louise Carmen notebook coming soon and that'll be like my main like journal, morning pages, all that stuff which I will get into whenever that actually arrives and I set it up. I've already got like accessories and everything for and I'm so excited because one thing I'm going back to this year is journaling. I know I talked about that briefly, but especially when I'm doing morning pages, I just feel a lot more connected to myself. Like I'm in control of my life and my dayto-day. I feel like a lot of the time like life just happens to us. we're busy and we're just kind of like jumping from thing to thing. Whenever I'm doing morning pages, I feel like the only way to describe, okay, this sounds so annoying and cheesy, but like life happening to you versus you happening to life. Does that make any sense? Like whenever I'm doing morning pages, I'm a lot more mindful. I'm thoughtful. I'm thinking period, actually. And it's the biggest difference. So, that's going to be like morning pages and all that stuff. My actual journals in my journal ecosystem. The first thing that I have, this is my new 2026 garden planner. I get this from the Dallas Garden School. So, if y'all are in like the DFW area and you garden, this is a really incredible journal because inside of the journal, I've actually bought one for the past like 2 years, I think. I think this is my third actually. Um, there's notes and also like when you should see, when you should transplant, when you should plant, like all of the things are in here, which is really helpful and really nice and I'm excited about this. Then we have my OG recipe journal. I use this thing every single day. As you guys know, this is a friend of mine product. I've developed actually the next three of these that we're going into. They are amazing and I go back and I use this all the time. I have a couple blank pages. So, I do have a little bit more to fill out here, but for the most part, this is essentially like my own personal cookbook at this point. And I'm constantly going back. Honestly, it's really worn. I've been using this for over like 2 and 1 half to 3 years now. And I do have a separate one for sourdough. I didn't bother bringing that with me, but it's the worst one I have. We have three different patterns on the site. Anyway, this is my OG recipe journal. I love to cook. That's like one of the things that makes me a happier human being. And also feel like I'm happening to life versus life is happening to me to just take that 30 minutes to an hour to just like be mindful and in the kitchen. And it's a creative thing and I just really love it. Um Charlie and I have our own recipe journal that we're doing this year and this is the family print from a friend of mine. We are going to develop one of our own recipes per month. So in January, I think we're doing like a spin-off of this pizza that we like almost made last week and then also just like drinks and things from different restaurants that we go to, like taking the recipes. It'll just be a really sweet little like memory book and I think it's a really fun thing to do with a partner. So, this one is specifically for me and Charlie and it's going to be all of our different recipes that we do together and it's going to push us to do our goal of developing one recipe a month. So, I love this and I thought that was like a really sweet idea. Um, this one is actually just I wanted to show you guys this because this is our old recipe journal, the OG. This is the new. It's actually the custom like Dolly Twall all over it which I love. Um, it's the exact same product on the inside. It's just like a new cover essentially. It's just an updated version of our OG like TW. This is our custom one. That's the first product we ever created. So, I just like bought something and used it. But this is like our actual custom TW that I love so much. So, anyway, these are going to be restocking on our site in February. And if you want the other prints, those are available now. My favorite one. This is my hosting journal. And this is like my true junk journal. I only have Do I even have anything left till I finish it? I have one slot left for this, but this is how I host all of my dinner parties and then I go back and I junk journal it. So, this is a really sweet way to like hold it's kind of like a scrapbook in a way. Um, but it's also a dinner party planner. So, you go through I can show you. Let me show you. I'll just do the holiday cuz it's the very first one. Like the theme is the holiday. Here is the mood board, RSPs, seating chart, the menu, and the grocery list. the day I ahead of brain dump. Okay? And then you go the week ahead brain dump. Then you have the day of like planner brain dump and then you're on to the next. So it helps you plan a dinner party, but then I go back through and I junk Sorry guys, my camera died. But I love having this because I can plan out all my dinner parties and then I can go back and junk journal and scrapbook. So this is my stack or my journal ecosystem. As of right now, I'm really excited to get my Louis Carmen notebook because that's just gonna change the game. This is what I'm using now. Love these. I'm gonna have all these linked if you guys are in Dallas. And then I'll try to find if you guys are interested a garden planner that's more generic and it's not, you know, focused on DFW in case you guys don't live here. Next up, personally, I really want to get into or back into like my morning reading and doing like different exercises that just make me feel better and again like more in tune, more in touch, more thoughtful, like kind of like more in charge of my life. These are my two favorite books to do this with The Artist Way. I've actually never finished it and I recommend it all the time. Feel like most people are like that and I need to finish this. I do not think that this book is advertised in a good way. I actually think it's so much more than this. It says a spiritual path to higher creativity. I think more than anything like you get to know yourself with this book. It is so interesting. There's 12 weeks. Every morning you do your morning pages. Once a week you take yourself on a solo date and then there's reading attached to it. So I'm going to get back to it this week. Um I had it on my Kindle and then I decided to get a physical version. But genuinely like it is the best. I don't know. Even if you're not someone who like identifies as creative, it's really not even about that. Like chapter week one is recovering a sense of safety, recovering a sense of identity, recovering a sense of power, integrity, possibility, abundance, connection, strength, compassion, self-p protection, autonomy, sense of faith, and it is truly just one of the best exercises ever. So, I'll also link this below in case you guys are interested. I'm going to start like this upcoming week. Um, and it just it's like one of the best things I've done. It's amazing. And honestly, I get so much out of this. Like, I get almost as much out of this, if not more, than I do out of like talk therapy. It's really that good. Last but not least, this is like a faith book. It's more of like a Christian book. I just love this thing. I've read this probably 10 times in the past like 6 years. I'll do it with friends. It's like a 40-day I have like lots of notes and stuff in this. It's a 40-day prayer challenge. It's a devotional. I like this one specifically because and I've like literally talked about this book since college, but I think I find the stories to be so interesting. It's a couple pages versus a lot of devotional books are like half a page, but a lot of it will like tie into history or like really cool stories that have happened, really inspiring stories. Just I don't know. It's like so interesting to me like the actual stories especially if you like history or I don't know how to describe it. It's just I haven't read it in quite a bit honestly but it's really good and I want to get back to reading this. Maybe even I'll read this before bed. It's just like a really inspiring book. Gives you like a sense of hope and faith and you know what. But anyway, I love these as far as my daily reading, which is something I really want to get back to. So now I'm going to make my house guest and friend of mine boards and we will get back to that in 2 seconds. Okay. Sorry. So for personal, I did do like list of things within my hobbies that I want to do like I need to plan my garden within the next week or two. And for needle point, I'm actually giving myself deadlines, which has been really nice. Like this, I know that's like a hobby. It's not supposed to be like that, but I have a lot of things that I want to do. And honestly, it just like keeps me going on the projects. I'm very goal oriented, so it like works for me. It doesn't stress me out and it keeps me going. So instead of scrolling, I'm like, "Oh, well, I have to get this done by this certain day." So it makes me do this. You know what I mean? Even though like I wake up and I like think about needle pointing. I dream of needle pointing, right? But for example, like I was up here two days ago and now I almost have the full background done because I gave myself a deadline which I've actually really been enjoying. Um I'm pretty much like capped out on my hobbies. Like I've got them all. Like gardening, needle point, sourdough, baking, cooking, all the things. I've got it all. But when it comes to like actual goals, I did mention how Charlie and I are going to develop a recipe every single month and do our own cookbook within the recipe journal, which will be really fun. And I also just really want to be taking classes so I can learn more. And I love an inerson class. Like I love it typically because I'm around people who are a lot older than me. So I really enjoy that aspect of it, but also I like the community it brings. I like learning. If I'm consistently learning, I'm just a happier person in general. Uh like tonight we're going to a cooking class. This weekend I have two gardening classes and I want to keep that going because it just makes me happy. It's very fulfilling and like recharges me and resets me and I just love those things. So that's something I really want to make sure I'm doing this year, which I feel like I'm typically good about that in the winter, but like the spring and summer I'm not so great. So I'm trying to like make it last longer. I have my friend of mine vision board for 2026. I'm going to put other specific things, but it's going to be like money and like details and stuff that I probably wouldn't put on the internet. Um, up here, these are actually from last year. Here's the thing about a vision board. Not everything Well, maybe it will, but not everything for me happens to my vision board every single year, so I like to like carry it over to the next year. Um, we actually did launch an Anthropology. So, that is true. Not the recipe journal. I photoshopped all these. It's Urban Nordstrom Anthro. Um, but we did launch our dinner cards this past year, so that did happen. What I really want to do, I photoshopped dinner cards on here, night cap cards, is I really like my dream is for us to launch in store and right now we are just online and we are launching actually I can't even talk about that but like I want like more skews on anthropology as well. Okay, if you build it they will come. I want to continue building a community of women who are homemakers, fellow serial hobbyists who are like building community around that, finding independence, building confidence through hobbies and I want to do that by doing a lot of inerson events as well. I want to do that online. Like I want our BFF chat to have like 30,000 people. If you guys are not in our BFF chat, I'll link it below. It's basically just one big group chat. It's separated by different cities. So if you want to meet friends who like like to host dinner parties, like to play maong, like to needle point, a garden, all of those like maybe grandma hobbies that maybe your friends are not doing in real life, we have a chat for that. So there's all these different cities. People are meeting in them all the time. It's really fun. I think we got like 10,000 girls in the chat and I want to get to 30. And I want to also do some inerson events which I don't want to get into just yet. Um but I have a really really really exciting idea that we have meetings about coming up. So that's exciting. That's what the plane is for. Lots of garden stuff. Hidden hint. Oh, we obviously have Taylor Swift with some product in a garden. Those are my dream celebs for friend of mine product. Dream big guys. Lots of needle point. I want to be very innovative when it comes to needle point. I have so many ideas that are so cool. I've said this a billion times, but like there's this house purse, this needle point house purse. Um, and I want us to develop those. We are working on so many different things. I've got so many like really unique needle point ideas that I'm excited for for this year. And then an office. I would love in the next 2 years to have an office space. I have a team here because I want to build a team. Right now, like full-time, it's just me. We do have people on retainer that I'm working with like regularly, but I would love to hire people full-time. um collaborations like I want to do I'd love to do a loom well or just a wallpaper collaboration in general and put our prints and walls and stuff on wallpaper. That is a dream. Hill House like of any capacity. It could literally just be an event like anything. I want to work with Hill House. The Charleston Club is a um new space in Dallas that is like a maong parlor almost. It looks so sick. I want us to do events there. Erica Wilson of course. Needle point store nucket. Cookie's lighting, which I love their lights so much. It's a dream. This is more like table wear. And yeah, that's what I have for friend of mine for this year, which is like obviously I'll be adding stuff. Uh the main thing I think is like if you build it, they will come. And that is what I'm living by. We are building the hobbyest dream brand. And we are we are on it. The last one I am going to do is house guests. And there are so many different things that I want to do for house gas. I've been doing the podcast since I was 20 years old. So, of course, there's going to be like different chapters. Like, in my earlier 20s, we were definitely talking a lot more about like navigating your 20s, which now I look back on that and I'm like, okay, in your early 20s, you literally know nothing and you shouldn't know anything. Like, that's kind of the point of your 20s. You absolutely should not know anything at all. Um, and that's what I would tell you. I would actually just sum it all up by saying unnecessary, not needed. Don't even worry about it. Don't need to know a single thing. You're good. Anyway, in the next like chapter that we're heading into, I really feel like it's just turning into overall a comfort show. Like it is a comfort show where I want you guys to come and like feel better. Like it's like a deep a breath of fresh air and very comforting, but also inspiring in a way that makes you want to live more intentionally and like love your life more and create this life that you love, but not in a way where it makes you feel like you need to change everything about you and change your life. Like not in a way where it's like super crazy harsh like insane hard truths that you need to you know what I mean? Like I want it to be a comfort show that makes your life better. Um but it doesn't mean that you are like not enough if that makes any sense. So, I want to continue on. I'm going to start I think if you guys like these, we're going to try it with Harrison and see. But I want to do episodes where we are like needle pointing like every 2 months. Like that wouldn't be like super frequent. But I do want to do episodes like that just because I think it would be really comforting and fun and like I would have like my close friends on to do that. I don't know if y'all are curious or interested at all on like the back end of podcasting, but what's so interesting is my most downloaded episodes are almost always solos or my close friends. And it's not all like influencer close friends. I mean, now my friends just actually kind of all happen to be influencers, but that's pretty much like anytime there's like a podcast episode that's done super well, it's like a solo or it is a friend or it is a very very niche influencer or last one, it's just like a really massive influencer. It's crazy cuz people in like the traditional world like don't do as well in podcasting. It's always people who are more in the influencer world. So anyway, with that being said, I do want to hone in more on like it's not a rebrand at all. It's just like a refresh of stuff. Like I do need a new podcast cover and I've gone back and forth. I'll show you guys my ideas after cuz I have them pinned here. I do go back and forth on it and I just can't figure out what I want to do. I do have an idea, but I'm afraid it's going to be like a little too youthful. So, I'm not quite sure if that is what we're going to do. But I do have some dream guests that are obviously like these are like dream dream big massive guests. But again, dream big guys. So this is the house guest one. I will obviously spruce it up a little bit. Oh well, here we go. Um, okay. Some of my dream guests. You guys have the hookups, let me know. Martha Stewart, obviously being number one. David Kesler, who is a grief expert. I would love to have him on. His grief work has helped me immensely. Daddy stays home. He has the most incredible YouTube channel where he does like video essays. First off, he is the set designer for a lot of the Nancy Myers movies, but he does this YouTube channel where he does video essays on not just films he's done, but other ones like he just went in and did Gilmore Girls. He went in and did Home Alone. And he'll go through and talk about the interiors of like my favorite shows. And I love that man. My dream is to do a full episode with him and then also do a full Christmas episode just on the holiday. Like I want to record with him of everything and like all of the stuff in the honestly and then fall Gilmore Girls and then winter would be the holiday. Like I love him so much. He's so incredible. Then we've got Kelly Bishop. We've got Scott Patterson. We actually, you know what? I don't know. Lauren Graham and Amy Palina are supposed to be on here too and those didn't print out. I don't know where those are, but um they are writing a book that's being released next year next year. So, I would like love to have them on for the press tour. Brunch with Babs, obsessed with her. Joy Lent, obsessed with her. I would love to talk to her about especially like faith stuff because she, if you guys didn't read her memoir, you really should. It's the most incredible book. She's Haley from Montre Hill and she's done so many other things, but that's just one of my favorite TV shows ever. And the way she talks about like faith and like her belief is so inspiring and she's was literally left a cult that was a Christian cult. So, I just find her to be so fascinating. I actually did talk to her. She called in for one of our book clubs and we talked to her for like an hour and she was amazing and she's one of my favorite people and one of my dream guests, Chrissy Mats. The world does not know what a gym we have in Chrissy Mats. Like here's the thing. I think we all know how talented she is. Everyone, but like we're still sleeping on Chrissy Matts and oh my god, there was a podcast episode she did on Jamie Kleimma's podcast that was one of the if not the best podcast episode I've ever listened to. I love Jamie Klema. I've had her on my podcast a bunch. She's incredible. Chrissy Mets, like talk about a comfort episode. Like that is what I'm trying to bring is like a comfort episode, you know, to everyone. So Chrissy Mets, honestly, like top of the list. Like I want her on the podcast so bad. And I just know we'd be close. Like I know we'd be friends. We just hit it off, you know? And I love her so much. And I don't know why her face is covered. I should fix that. I'll fix it after. Jojo. This is really a nostalgic childhood one. I grew up on Jojo. Love Jojo. I stayed during the court case, all the battle. I I stayed up to date. She was gone for 7 years. I know all of it. I still go to her concerts. I went to her concert last year. I've seen her live like four or five times. Love her. Then we have, of course, Garden who's covered. I need to move these over. She's my queen, my everything. Um, and then we just have for Well, that actually did happen. Forbes, but I kept that on from last year. And then I would love to do podcast live shows again. Martha Stewart podcast. More homeworthy stuff. I really want to do home worthy. I want to do an updated house tour. I want to do a Christmas house tour. And I really want to do a video where we are hosting a dinner party in honor of Charlie's mom's like 10 year anniversary for her book. Her book is under this right now so I can't grab it. But she has a coffee table book that I've talked about this before a billion times. She has a coffee table book that is a essentially like bar entertaining. It's like hosting dinner parties, different themes, costumes, the whole thing. And she has the sickest house and she has literally a costume closet. Here's a photo with two chains with her. like she's just like iconic and I think it would do so well and be such a fun video like specifically for home worthy. So I would love to be able to do that with Home Worthy and it's like right up their alley. Like that book is so Homew worthy and I just need to get that happening. Like that absolutely needs to happen. So anyway, these are my vision boards for the year. I'm going to put them up. I have been yapping away. Um I guess I will see you guys in my next video. This is a really chatty video, so let me know if you guys like this. It's kind of all over the place, but I feel good going into the new year. And even if you don't feel good going into the new year, so much can happen. A lot can change. And like don't let the January January is a foundation, okay? Like work, do the stuff later. Like do not let the stress and anxiety of the new year paralyze you and like make you feel bad about yourself or anxious or stressed and all of those things. Just whatever. make a vision board, have fun, you know, and take it easy sometimes because sometimes we put like way too much pressure on ourselves in January and I'm like, I'm gonna lose it. You know what I mean? So, anyways, I love you guys and I will talk to you in my next video, which is going to be the most insane house refresh you've ever seen. The tree is going up today, which makes me like literally want to stop. Um, and we're just going to get to it. But anyway, love you guys and I'll see you in my next video. Bye.
