It’s almost 2025!
Have you set your intentions? This is the perfect time of year to get excited about the fresh energy of the new year. A lot of life is a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you think the year is going to be a grim one, it will be. And as we discuss in our new book, if you think you will crush it, you probably will. So let’s set some positive intentions. You can grab our free workbook if you need help figuring out what you want.
We think that 2025 is going to be a fabulous year to normalize “selfishness.” Every year, the holiday diamond ads focus on engagement rings. But in this year's DeBeers and Graff UK ad campaigns, rings were worn on anything but the ring finger. This is not the “right-hand ring” campaign the diamond people tried a few years ago to normalize women buying their own diamonds. They are not even mentioning this pivot. If you want a diamond, get a diamond. Period. The fact that this Graff sparkler is worn unapologetically on the middle finger seems pretty deliberate to us!
The women we know and love are embracing this same energy. Not one of the cool women we know is waiting around in 2025 for permission to lead the life she wants. She’s building the business, publishing the book, taking the trip, making the career move, and/or having the child. Those who are not on board with what she wants can move right along thankyouverymuch.
We are so here for it.
Believe us: we were not always this way. There was a time when we’d both rather be called the C-word than called selfish. We were people pleasers, too, until it made us sick, tired, and broke. We no longer wait around like Rapunzel in some castle. We get stuff done. We wanted to write a book. So we did. We did not want to wait for some publisher to choose us and wait on their timeline. We just did it. Some people don’t like our book: oh well. We are not Walmart; we don’t exist to serve everyone. And neither do you!
What bold moves can you make in 2025? What toxic patterns can you shed? What cool things can you embrace? What new people can you meet? What can you launch into the world? What fun adventures can you have? What will your life look like next year at this time? Radical positive change can happen when you set your mind on a goal and take inspired action daily.
Next year at this time, you can be:
A published author.
Living in a new community.
Working in a new job.
Running your own business.
Hanging out with a new group of friends.
Healthier and more fit.
Next year, at this time, you can be almost anything you want.
We can’t wait to cheer you on!
Xx
