Own Your Wins, Your Fire, Your Year

The holidays are here. The lights are glowing, calendars are full, expectations are high, and the noise can feel relentless. It’s easy to look back at the year and fixate on what didn’t happen, the moments you wished you had handled differently, or the ways you feel you didn’t measure up.

Here’s the truth: it’s completely normal to feel that way. To compare yourself. To replay moments in your mind. But the end of the year is also a time to honor your victories, your growth, and the strength that carried you through it all.

This year, don’t just give to others. Give yourself permission to celebrate your story, your wins (and losses), your presence, and your unique beauty.

Pause, breathe, and honor your journey

Take a moment to truly acknowledge everything you’ve experienced this year — the wins, the struggles, the lessons, and the resilience it took to keep going. Your journey is valid. Your effort matters. Your growth matters.

Write down a few moments you’re proud of, even if they seem small. The times you stood up for yourself. The challenges you overcame. The choices that honored your authenticity. These are proof that you have advanced, even when it felt hard. As the year of the Snake comes to an end I invite you to shed whatever is no longer serving you.

Create your personal celebration space

Find a quiet corner or any spot that feels like your little sanctuary. Light a candle and grab a notebook. It might feel a little strange the first time, and that’s totally okay - it gets easier with practise, and it’s so cathartic to write freely. As 2026 (the year of the Horse) is fast approaching I want to invite you to revel in what this year will bring, It’s a time of bold action, new experiences and forward momentum, This can be big or small, professional or personal - but know that this is your moment. Honor everything you’ve accomplished and experienced, and soak in just how far you’ve come.

Raise your glass to YOU

Let this toast be a declaration of your power and presence. Say it out loud, whisper it, or just hold it in your heart:

"I am powerful. I am worthy. I am enough exactly as I am. I have grown. I have survived. I am here to shine my light.”

This is more than a ritual; it’s an act of unapologetic self-celebration.

Embrace joy and indulgence

Let yourself feel joy, connection, and delight this holiday season. Laugh without overthinking. Savor the food. Dance, move, or sing. Connect with loved ones if you can, or simply relish the quiet.

No matter how your holidays look — wild and festive, cozy and intimate, or peaceful and reflective — allow yourself to experience every moment fully, without apology.

Your reminder

Your energy matters. Your light matters. Your badass self matters.
You are fierce. You are unstoppable. And no matter how you reflect on this year, you’ve advanced, grown, and earned the right to celebrate yourself fully.

Raise that glass. This is your toast — to you, your story, and your unstoppable power.
