Reflecting on the past year can provide valuable insights. Journaling helps track personal growth and changes. Embracing change can lead to unexpected positive outcomes. It's okay to not have something to share every week. Celebrating small wins is important for motivation. Looking back can highlight how far you've come. Personal growth often comes from doing things differently. Planning for the future involves reflecting on the past.       LINKS   My Website. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.michellehext.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   The PODCAST Millionaire™ https://www.michellehext.com/tpm-v1/   My INNER CIRCLE Mentorship https://www.michellehext.com/inner-circle/   Come say "hi" on insta! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/michellehext/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@MichelleHext?sub_confirmation=1 Substack https://substack.com/@michellehext   Tiktok https://www.tiktok.com/@michelle.hext         podcast, reflection, consistency, change, personal growth, journaling, time off, year in review

The 3 Principles That Guided Me in 2026 In this episode, I’m breaking down the three principles that shaped my year, helped me step into a new identity, and finally stop repeating the same patterns. 1️⃣ Let Go & Leave I realised old rooms, communities and relationships were keeping me tied to an old identity. I made the decision to leave, without drama, and create space for the woman I was becoming. 2️⃣ Go Deeper Letting go exposed the real inner work I had avoided. Instead of fighting it, I met it with curiosity and calm. I finally healed parts of myself that were running the show. 3️⃣ Do Things Differently I didn’t want another year that looked like the last one. So I made different decisions and took actions I had never taken before. That alone changed everything. This episode is simple, honest and practical, and it’s for anyone ready to stop repeating old cycles and step into a year that genuinely feels new.   LINKS   My Website. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.michellehext.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   The PODCAST Millionaire™ https://www.michellehext.com/the-podcast-millionaire/   My INNER CIRCLE Mentorship https://www.michellehext.com/inner-circle/   Come say "hi" on insta! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/michellehext/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@MichelleHext?sub_confirmation=1 Substack https://substack.com/@michellehext   Tiktok https://www.tiktok.com/@michelle.hext  

2025 has been a year of extraordinary growth for me as a founder and personally, and I put that down to one simple thing:   DECIDING to do things differently.   After years of living the definition of insanity, ie, doing the same things expecting different results, I committed to creating REAL change.   In this episode, I share the areas I did things differently and how those decisions shifted EVERYTHING.   I also leave you with a powerful question as you head into 2026.

Sometimes we can feel life has us in a holding pattern....we're not going backwards but we aren't going forwards either. Usually, this is a time of being between worlds. You know something big is on the horizon, but you're not quite ready to let go of the old. If you're in this place, forcing things rarely works, and it can be a frustrating place, but I want you to make peace with it...welcome it even. Because this is your call to ascend...yes...even when it makes no sense because your current circumstances are shouting failure. The reason? You've been playing small. Too small.
