The New Year’s Failure-Trouncing Promise

Could this be the year you push past your self-imposed ceiling and radically scale your income? I think so, too. Let’s do this.

There’s something beautiful about the first day of a fresh new year.

Everything is possible. There aren’t any mistakes to contend with. No challenges yet to face. Not a single failure to record.

And here in New Mexico where the sun shines 340 days a year, we were gifted a rare and rainy New Year’s. Almost like the city got a post-2025 wash so we could start the new year clean.

I took a nighttime walk in the rain with my little daughter, her warm hand in mine as the rain dripped down. (It’s still the desert; you can walk between the raindrops.)

And I tried to savor that moment right before the clean wash dries. I took in the still-remaining Christmas lights on houses… the scent of wet pine… the full moon glowing pink between the clouds.

Because tomorrow, well… tomorrow it’s on.

Tomorrow is when I have to face all the mistakes I made last year that are yet to be cleaned up.

Tomorrow is when I take on the challenges I’ve vowed to overcome, but haven’t so far.

Tomorrow I start racking up more failures.

And that’s why I’ve landed here, taking my message to Substack along with my commitment to help women+ overcome their impostor challenges.

See, as a writer and business owner, I’ve done some things right. Earned some good money. Had a lot of success.

But for years, I crashed up against my own imposed ceiling, and I couldn’t figure out why.

Now, after two years of deep self-work and about $80K invested in training, coaching, certifications, and conferences…

Plus countless hours assessing and facing and naming and pouncing on my demons…

I figured out what was holding me back, why I’d plateaued around the $100K mark for so long, and—most importantly—how to springboard past it.

This newsletter is now my gift to all the women in similar straits: If you want to trounce your own demons and scale your income, I’m here to show you how.

It’s going to be a great year.

Let’s get started.

And thank you, thank you for being here. 💗
