Your 2025 Life Wrapped + 2026 Reset Starts Here

Before you create your 2026 vision board, you need this foundation. In Part 1 of the Reset + Manifest 2026 series, LeAura walks you through a powerful year-end audit process that goes deeper than typical goal-setting.​

What You'll Do in This Episode:

• Pull your 2025 "receipts" - the wins you forgot to celebrate

• Create your personal Spotify Wrapped using your camera roll, fitness trackers, and calendar

• Build your Keep vs. Leave list for what comes with you into 2026

• Define 4-6 life pillars (wellness, money, career, relationships, home) and how you want to FEEL in each area

• Set quarterly check-in reminders so your vision board doesn't disappear by March

This is for you if:

• You're tired of vision boards that become abandoned Pinterest collages

• You want a strategic approach to manifestation, not just aesthetic vibes

• You're ready to reflect on 2025 honestly and build intentionally for 2026

In this episode of 'What's Your Skincare Routine with LeAura Luciano,' we discuss Guillermo del Toro's highly anticipated adaptation of Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein.'

Over 25 years in the making, this film intertwines themes of empathy, family, and the human experience. Del Toro's vision is brought to life through exceptional artistry, with actor Jacob Elordi transforming into the creature through extensive prosthetics and emotional preparation.

The episode highlights the meticulous details in costume and set design, and the symbolic use of color that del Toro employs to convey deeper truths.

With its focus on forgiveness and emotional depth, this adaptation transcends the horror genre, offering a profound meditation on what it means to be human.

Today, we’re breaking down the secret courtroom recording that was just made public in the It Ends With Us legal battle. You’ve probably seen the headlines: Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni, and Wayfarer Studios are in the middle of a messy lawsuit… but this new audio gives us a whole new layer of insight.

I’m joined by Brit Madrid Mogenson (In The Cards and Stars and BZen TV) and Michael Mogenson (attorney) and together we unpack what was actually said in court, how this recording changes public perception, and why this case has become one of the most fascinating behind-the-scenes Hollywood dramas in years.

We talk about: 🎙️ What the newly released audio reveals about the tension between Lively and Baldoni 💬 The most shocking and questionable moments from the transcript 💼 How PR teams, NDAs, and reputation management play into this 👀 What this means for the future of It Ends With Us — and the people behind it

If you thought this was just a creative disagreement, think again. This case is giving us a rare peek behind Hollywood’s glossy PR curtain.

🎧 Listen now to hear what was really said in court and why it’s making headlines.
