This is a marker-moment episode for anyone entering a new chapter. I recently stepped into a new decade, and with Lunar New Year approaching and the start of the Year of the Fire Horse, I’m using this season as a mirror, not a prediction, to reset my standards in dating, work, purpose, and time.

Key takeaways:

• If it costs your peace, it’s too expensive.
• Transformation isn’t pressure; it’s standards.
• The most powerful promise you can make is the one you keep with yourself: I don’t abandon me.

Journal prompt: Where have I been abandoning myself… and what would change if I stopped?

24-hour challenge: Pick one area (dating, work, purpose, or time). Write what you’re shedding, what you’re choosing, and take one step in the next 24 hours.

In this empowering episode of Hold My Purse, we’re stepping into a part of your life you may have never considered: the HR department of you. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, drained, overworked in relationships, or unsure how to protect your peace, this episode will change how you lead your life.

You’re the CEO of your life — and today you’ll learn how to oversee the internal systems that manage your boundaries, your energy, your relationships, and your emotional well-being.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How to think like a CEO when managing your personal boundaries
• What your “inner HR department” actually is and why it protects your peace
• How to make decisions that align with your values, not guilt or obligation
• How to recognize “role creep” when you’re doing too much
• How to run performance reviews for your habits, relationships, and commitments
• Why listening to your intuition is an HR investigation you can trust
• How to reclaim your power, time, and emotional bandwidth with clarity and love

Whether you’re rebuilding your life, stepping into a new season, or learning to love yourself again, this episode gives you the tools to structure your peace like it matters — because it does.

And, Aria steps in with her Gen Alpha energy; she has a new makeup kit.
