I think discipline is required to make sure you’re aligning your life with your priorities. I loved this! Happy New Year!

I agree! I've kind of leaned a little too far into treat myself territory over the last few years and I'm ready for a different vibe. Happy New Year to you!

I admire the work you do so much! Also I love making vision boards. I think your idea of a Pinterest one is great because to be honest I don’t have time for a physical on LOL

CHEERS 🫶🏻

School counselors must be protected at all costs. I love all things SEL and am so grateful you’re here as our resident expert. This was fantastic and genuinely gave me inspo to fine-tune my own. YES to quieter rituals in the New Year. Appreciate you beyond words, Tricia, xx.

This is great inspiration! I'm determined that tonight is the night I map out my five year vision board ala Roxie Nafousi's Manifest and I appreciate having your post as a roadmap to doing this. Agree that Pinterest has gotten increasingly tricky to credit imagery - I come up empty handed more often than not when I do a reverse image search. I don't use Pinterest imagery in my content since I can't confidently credit people, but it's always a huge bummer when I find an amazing image that sends me into a Pinterest loop.

I love this perspective, thanks for sharing, Tina. It's a tricky thing to navigate, and I'm feeling a bigger responsibility as more people join this space.

I haven't read Roxie Nafousi, but I'm adding it to my list. Manifesting always felt a little too woo for me, but I also think there's always more room for positive thinking and intentions so maybe I need to lean into that this year. Happy New Year!

You’re inspiring me, I haven’t made one of these in years but this just might be the year I revisit these! ❤️

In the spirit of The Nap Trap, mine was almost entirely created while feeding my baby in the middle of the night, you can do it! I'd love to see what you come up with, I know you've had a lot of big changes in the last year :)

I'm still figuring out my Brick settings/schedule but so far I have really loved it. Thanks for asking me my word of the year the other day, it prompted me to really think it through! Happy New Year :)

My mind was pretty much blown when I scrolled to the bottom of this and saw my own note LOL

I was just about to comment and be like THANK YOU for bringing the realistic vision board 101-ing energy to us busy mammas. And I love your word for 2026. Discipline is intentional and I think everyone could stand to incorporate a bit more intention into their daily lives. Can't wait to read more of your work in 2026 :)

You are the discipline queen with that ultra-early morning routine, I'm so grateful for your tips and encouragement! Hope someone gives you a few hours to knock out some vision boarding this week!

Love this! I am also naming ‘discipline’ as my word for next year! Can’t wait to settle down later to do my analogue vision board together with my family! (This year I’m getting the kids involved)! Happy new year!🥳 ❤️
