What if I told you the fastest way to sabotage your content creator business… is setting New Year’s goals on January 1st?

Yep. I said it. This is one of my hottest takes—and 12 months later, I still stand by it.

In this rerun episode, I’m breaking down why January is actually the worst time for travel creators and content creators to set new goals, routines, or systems—and how waiting just a little longer can completely change your momentum, your mindset, and your long-term success.

If you’re a travel creator, juggling constant movement, post-trip slumps, family time, inbox overload, and way too many “new year, new you” messages… this episode is your permission slip to breathe.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why January goals set most content creators up for failure
• The post-trip slump (and why ignoring it kills productivity)
• How travel and the holidays drain your creative energy more than you think
• Why “hitting the ground running” on January 1st is unrealistic for a content creator business
• How to use January as a reset month instead of a pressure cooker
• The real reason 80% of New Year’s goals fail by February
• How to set smarter, more sustainable travel 2026 goals (yes, starting now—but executing later)

Happy New Years Travel Creators!!! You made it through 2025 and to help welcome in 2026 I am sitting down with my podcast editor Marie from Your Girl Media to talk about the 10 lessons we learned in our businesses in 2025.

We are talking all things burnout, boundaries, branding, money, and why “doing it messy” might be your biggest advantage in 2026.

Whether you’re scaling your offers, rethinking travel, or trying to make your business feel easier (and more fun), these business lessons for 2025 will hit home.

🎧 What We Cover in This Episode

• Why travel burnout is real (even when you’re living the dream)
• The hidden cost of being a digital nomad for too long
• Why doing what you actually want beats choosing the “smart” business move
• How a single rebrand or identity shift can unlock momentum
• Why “less but better” is the secret to scaling as a content creator
• How attraction, energy, and fun play a bigger role than strategy alone
• Why community is the future of creator businesses in 2025
• The power of being in the right room (one networking event can change everything)
• How client experience matters more than price
• Why selling identity — not features — is the key to consistent sales
• Why “doing it messy” can outperform perfection
• The money systems every creator needs before they scale
• Trusting that things can be easier (even when your brain wants control)
