I Don’t Abandon Me: A New Decade Reset for Love, Work, Purpose & Peace (Lunar New Year + Year of the Fire Horse)

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.
