What if I told you that the key to becoming the woman you're meant to be has nothing to do with discipline, willpower, or even strategy?

The secret to a new self-image is actually something you already know how to do… a little game you've already mastered as a child.

I'm talking about playing "make believe." This one practice (when done with intention) can make you absolutely unrecognizable in the best possible way. Every transformation I've experienced in my life, from building a multimillion-dollar business to living my dreams, started with this practice.

I promise you: This is the most practical, powerful tool you can use to transform your life.

Here's what we cover:

• Why "playing make-believe" is one of the most powerful tools for reinvention

• How acting as your future self rewires your brain and shapes your identity

• Real-life examples of becoming unrecognizable through intentional identity practice

• Why becoming the next version of you requires bold imagination, courage, and play

• How to stay committed when others doubt, judge, or misunderstand your evolution

• How living from your future (not your past) turns vision into reality and magic into results

Most women go into the new year trying to fix themselves: Fix their bodies. Fix their habits. Fix their homes. Fix their lives. All focused on this state of repairing what's "wrong".

But what if the breakthrough you're craving doesn't come from trying to change your "flaws" but from designing what's possible? The next version of you shouldn't be created through pressure, but through vision.

With this 10-minute practice, you can create the game-changing shift that will make your entire year feel different.

Here's what we cover:

• Why trying to "fix" yourself keeps you stuck, and how design creates real change

• The shift from self-repair culture to living from vision, creativity, and desire

• How embracing wabi-sabi turns imperfections into texture, depth, and beauty

• Why viewing your life as a magazine changes how you set goals and make decisions

• The difference between repair-based habits and design-based choices in everyday life

• How stepping into the role of editor-in-chief empowers you to create a year that feels like yours

Imagine if three small, French secrets – simple, practical, and quietly powerful – could completely shift how you see yourself.

In this episode, I'm sharing three lessons I learned during my time in France that didn't just change how I lived – they became the foundation of the work I do today.

Together, we explore how choosing quality, tending to your own inner world, and loving what you already have can create profound identity shifts – without hustle, pressure, or waiting for your life to look different first.

Here's what we cover:

• The three French "secrets" that subtly but powerfully reshape your self-image

• Why choosing quality – especially in your thoughts – raises your standards and sense of self-worth

• How cultivating your own garden ends comparison and strengthens self-trust

• What changes when you stop managing other people and start leading yourself

• Why loving what you already have creates true abundance (without dimming your desire)

• How these French secrets build worthiness, leadership, and confidence from the inside out
