It's that time of year, we're wrapping up the year again, and I am so grateful that you are part of the journey with Casa de Confidence. Thank you, thank you my friend for joining me for all of the episodes of 2025. I am thrilled and looking forward to what 2026 has in store for us. So let's get into it. Hello everybody. Dan is back. Dan and Julie are back. And Julie's back. I know we've been dropping episodes, but the episodes have not had me in it. So I hope you missed me. We dropped one episode without you. Oh, well. Well, there was, well, there were others before that. Oh yeah, sure. And then I came back and then I've been gone again. Listen, it has been an interesting December mainly because, well, I'm writing a book. Yes. Yes. Yes. And if Julie's busy, I'm busy. If Julie is busy, Dan is busy. Plus in addition to writing a book and releasing the book on December 31st, I have also been working with two organizations that I'm really, really excited about. And why does my passion for the work that these organizations do has been ignited? Now, I will say as well, in addition to that, we are renovating our bathroom and our second dog had a trip to the emergency vet. He is fine. However, he is still whining. He decided to spaz out while he came in from the snow and caught his toe in. Nail is gone. He is sans one toenail. That's correct. But it was clean break, which is great. Which is great. And so he's on a little pain meds and a little, a little make me sleep medicine. Make me sleep so Julie can sleep medicine. Yes. But this is so boring. Let's not talk about us. Let's talk about first of all, we're in the final days of this calendar year. Yes, we are. And even if you are listening to this episode sometime in the future, it may not be the end of the year. What I have in store for our conversation today are some of the questions that have helped me. And then I tend to ask of myself every year as I begin to think about what do I want the next year to look like? Yes. So yeah, that's good. And you know, the other thing too. It's always good. It's always good to reflect. It's always good to reflect. This is a perfect time of the year to reflect on the year, reflecting your life, reflect on, you know, the important things, maybe the not so important things and see what you're going to do going forward. You know, the next year it's, it's like a clean slate, you know, it's a perfect opportunity. Yeah. To set a goal. And I know that's cliche when it does their goal setting and all that stuff like that. But it's, it's cause it's a great excuse to do it. It sure is. Now I'm going to tell you something that I also want to talk about. Well, hold on. Let me back up. There's something that I talked about. There's something that I talked about. I am starting already that I talk about in brave moves. And if you don't know what brave moves is, it is the daily podcast that I have been producing and we are up to episode 78. Daniel Collins. All on her own. All on my own. Wait a minute. We have to give you, now we got to get you editor credit. Cause you edit your own episodes. I do edit my own episodes and I spend time annoying myself. You know, because there it is. Crutch word, clutch, clutch, or crutch, crutch, crutch word. Anyway, what was the crutch word? You know, Oh, cause you would know yourself cause you're listening to all that. Yeah. That's hilarious stuff. So I am trying to be more mindful as I speak. Daniel. The one thing that I did talk about in the latest episodes of brave moves, I do want to talk about these because if you haven't checked out the episodes, the last few episodes, they're really quick hits. Um, and you can really use them in your toolbox as we move forward. One of the things that I talked about is reinventing yourself at any age, the starting over theory, the Miss Soggy challenged one brave move that can define your year and that's a Japanese word. The Miss Soggy. Did you know what Miss Soggy is? Dan? I do not. You don't know what Miss Soggy, but you know what Kaizen is. I do. Miss Soggy is that ritual of purification and it's basically, uh, Japanese samurais immerse themselves in water, but it really is done to rebuild resilience, create self discovery and push through our limits. And I talk a little bit about that in the Miss Soggy challenge. Also, the other thing that I talked about is the ways that we can bring out the best in people. And I opened up a little bit about sharing the ways that I turned my life around after my divorce and the latest episode is a deep dive in. This is another theory and it's called the symbolic self completion theory. And it's a psychological theory by Peter Goldwitzer. Nice. I hope you got the name right. Cause it sounded right. I, I, I sound it right. So the whole point of this theory was something that hit me over the head as I was reading about it and deep diving into it. Now I'm going to ask you, okay. Have you ever bought something? Yes. Give me your audience to you. I'm asking, and I'm asking the audience to, okay. So, all right, listen up folks. I'm listening. Have you ever bought a brand? Not, I know you haven't, but you audience member, my friend. Have you bought a brand new planner or perhaps a brand new journal? Yes. You have. Of course I have. You have. Yes. Okay. What does it look like? Well, I don't, this is years ago. I guess it doesn't matter. Okay. How about it was a day planner back when I was a manager. There you go. At a retail establishment. Okay. So the other thing too, that can apply to the, to this theory is have you ever bought those brand new gym shoes? Yes. And you didn't wear them to go to the gym. You just, you wore them, but you didn't go to the gym with them. Yeah. The last pair of, um, try, I guess cross strainers. So they call them that anymore. I bought those in December because I saw that they had them and I bought them with intention to go to the gym. They've never seen the gym. They are worn out, but they've never seen the gym. So here's the thing about it. Right. And I will tell you how I really became just so enamored by this theory. And it gave me such great awareness. Now there is a book by an author. Her name is Sophie Kinsella and it is the shopaholic series. Now, if you have read Sophie Kinsella, you sadly know that she's passed away. She died maybe within the last month. And I was very sad about it because I, I love her books and she's such a great writer. Now the thing about her books is there was a moment in the book where the main character is shopping or she's not supposed to shop because she is a shopaholic and she's trying to get out of debt. However, she sees a scarf. And when she saw that scarf, then she's like, I need that scarf. I'm going on this job interview and that scarf. And she pictured herself with the scarf and what that was going to look like. But basically a lot of times we buy the thing because in our mind's eye, it gives us the identity that we want to have. Like when I buy the journal, I'm going to be the girl that has this beautiful writing in her journals daily rather than haphazard, or I'm going to be the girl that goes to the gym because she has the brand new workout outfit. Or I am the person who is going to be super organized because this planner is the solution. Right. So that whole self completion theory is that we get hit a dopamine when we buy the thing, because in our mind we become, and it's, it's sort of self completion and we get a false sense of progress. And I unpack a little bit more about this in the brave moves episode. So I encourage you to go check that one out, but I do want to go back to the questions to wrap up the year and set us up for a great 2026. Are you ready for them? All right. You're asking me questions. I'm asking you questions. You know, I like putting you in the spot. You know, I like this. It's my cup of tea. Might not be yours, but it's mine. Now that I'm trying to be your coach, I just want to say, but I think that as a couple and as business owners, right, partners in life and business, it's a good idea for us to kind of create this wrap up together, not just me, not just you, but us as an us, because we're in us. Okay. We were ready for it. I am ready. And I'm steady. Happened this year. My friend think back to 2025. And the first thing I think of is only shit. It's a dumpster fire, but don't think of that. Yogi. I know what happened this year. You lost your toe. Now he's crying because he lost his tone in my poor boy. Okay. So make a bucket list and yes. The good, the bad, and the ugly. And you can look at a big picture and create bullets, right? The bullets and you can write them by month. If you use a calendar, like I do, that's an easy way to go back and see what happened and just brainstorm, don't worry about the order, maybe that things happened. But as they come to mind, it's important to know what is going on. You may be really shocked that some great things happen this year. And by putting pen to paper, you will be able to acknowledge them and acknowledging that everything that happened is important in order to move to the new year. Cool. Okay. I don't need to put pen to paper. You just asked me questions. I just asked you. We record it and then we can do a transcript. Oh, fine. If you say so, if you say so. Okay. So what happened this year's question? Number one, number two, what personal moments stand out to you? What personal moments stand out to me this year. Now, this is where you're going to drill down to specific memories, whether it be events, triumphs, hurt conversations that stick out in your brain, special moments. You know, for me, there's some moments that definitely stand out. I lost my uncle Ruben, my aunt Alma, and it's still very unbelievable for me to think that these people who were incredibly meaningful in my life are gone. But at the same time, there are some really great triumphs. So what about for you? What stands out to you? And you know, what stands out. I had some good challenges this year with, um, with editing and doing videos for some people and those challenges were, were good to sharpen my skills a little bit. So that was, that was kind of. Yeah. You know what? One of my triumphs was that I got to interview Jimmy Buffett's sister and got to hang out with her in QS. See, you have a much more entertaining life than me. No. Well, actually that's not true because you're more entertaining. You're more entertainment to me than any, uh, celebrity. Oh, here you go. But yeah, I mean, this year for me was, it was a pretty busy year. So, uh, that was, that was kind of neat. The one thing that stands out to me is very, very, very recent. Okay. I've been in this house since 2004. Yes. For those people who were born in 2004, listening to this. Oh my goodness. Yes. Your entire life. I live in this house as an adult and I've always said, I wish I have always complained, sorry, complained that the washer and the dryer in the basement. Yeah. Pain in the butt, up and down, up and down all the time. Oh yeah. Cause he does laundry all the time. Just want to clear that moment. At one point you didn't live in this house. Okay. So you're right. You're right. Now that I, okay, go ahead. Now that you live here, I have a submissive wife that does my laundry for you. Oh boy. I hope you're hungry and ready to cook for yourself. Oh wait, we, we ordered dinner. Nevermind. Yes, we did. Okay. So, um, and I was like, oh, he's trying to find a spot in the house. Well, I finally found a spot in the house and it's the downstairs bathroom. And we have an impetus to do that. That's right. We want to get, uh, Julie's mom downstairs, but the bathroom downstairs is not suited for her. That's right. It's got a soaking tub. So I'm taking that tub out and ripping it out. Yeah. Installing a shower. Oh boy. Installing the shower creates space allows me to have a place for the washer and dryer. And I can put a little door over it. So it doesn't look like the washer and dryers in the room. Yeah. So, yes, Dan is that handy that he can do that kind of work. I took wall down yesterday. Like that's right. And I had video to prove it. So, all right. So let's move on because I still have eight more questions I don't want to get to. And I don't want to make this too long because I want to make this powerful for you. Now, if you are listening and you want to really be able to assess your year and create this new plan for your 2026, you can always come back and listen to this episode or pause this episode. If you want to write these things down. Number three, what lessons did I learn? Now you don't have to articulate it perfectly. Just let it flow, put it in a piece of paper. And that might be silly lessons. There might be some serious lessons and understanding that we are work in progress, we're always learning is something so crucial to continuing to build momentum in our life and to get unstuck. So what lessons did I learned? Yes. This one's quite recent also. Sure. Okay. Go ahead. I learned a little bit yesterday and doing the physical labor that we did in all year. I've been really, I've had a bad year physically. Yes. You know, I have neuropathy, which, you know, when I can feel my feet, they hurt. And so it's kind of one of those things. And for anyone who suffers with neuropathy, they know what I'm talking about. Feet on fire or hurting or dying. And it's just, it's just a thing. And, uh, convincing yourself that you can still do things through that pain, um, uh, actually is important to do that because the physical activity of doing that will actually help that type of pain subside. Oh my goodness. That's a great lesson. I love it. That, uh, I feel great today. I love it. Hey, by the way, Julie had to use the massage on my back, but that's a whole different thing. That's a whole different thing. That's all. If you don't have a back massager, you got to get one of those gun, powerful massagers get it works. Oh, and by the way, I thought the lesson that you learned this year is that when you're buying a Christmas present for me, you can go to Amazon and just get it off the list. That's true. She's got a wish list and, and as she's opening up her gift, well, I got her the one gift. I got her a soda stream. She didn't know about that, but she got it early because she opened the box. That's right. Get it to her. I'm like, what's this? Oh, so anyway, we started using that early, but I went on her wish list and got some presents so they could be there on Christmas day. That's right. She opened all three of them up. She was like, Oh my God, these are the best things. These are awesome. And we're, how'd you get the ideas for these? These are good. And on the third one was like, she goes, how'd you get this? I'm like, you told me to get this where she's like, I did. I know. Yeah. All three of them are on your wish list. That's right. Wives make wish lists and let your spouse know. And by the way, I forgot because every time I look at something on Amazon and I like it, I just, it just goes on the wish list rather than buying it. It kind of gives me that little dopamine hit and I'm not spending money. I mean, the biggest thing to learn and you learn every, no matter how much you've learned, there's always one. Yeah. So how about number four, Julie? Okay. Number four is who spoke into my life this year. Friends, loved ones, mentors, coaches, wives, podcasters, authors, influencers, journalists, all of the above. I mean, I'll mention one person. Um, and this is a little different because there's so many people in the GoConfident community that speak into my life and that's huge. I'm going to talk about work. Sure. Go ahead. We've got a new, new engineer at work and, um, we've opened up to each other, you know, talking about personal things and that's been kind of neat. And I told him, you know, anytime you need to talk to somebody, I don't want to say the word mentor, but if you ever need to talk to the personal level, I'm here because of some things he shared with me and a lot of the things he's, you've spoken about, we freely, you wouldn't freely speak about, you wouldn't freely speak of with most people that you work with, but we can have some conversations there and they're, they're, they're pretty good conversations about life, religion, a smidge of politics. There you go. But that's a, that's something there. So yeah, that person is a, would know who he is if he heard the sub-zone, excuse me. I have a number five, Julie. Okay. So I didn't say number number who's spoken to my life, but I will say one person. And that's Andy Lyons from the New England podcasters. What a phenomenal, encouraging mentor she is to, to us women in midlife, because don't be a cage by your age is her latest podcast. She's been podcasting for many years, but I love the way she pours into us and has created a community and reminds me the importance of community. New England podcasters. That's right. Okay. So what am I proud of? That's number five. That's number five. What big leaps, maybe inner shifts, habits, decisions you've made, small moments, um, that's very important. And I think that for me, I didn't necessarily have the big leaps that I wanted, but I did have a lot of small moments. And one of the things that I am proud of is I'm, I'm not perfect at it. And you know, I had to qualify that and that's my inner critic speaking, but I know that I am still as a caretaker still get a little bit of triggered. With certain things with, you know, a parent and having the parent here full time. And I need to learn to manage my emotions and even I am doing much better than a year ago, but it's still a work in progress. And that's definitely what I'm proud of. I'm actually proud of you. Oh, well, thank you. For, you know, I've known, I've known Julie for many, many years. And I know what can trigger her. And what is instantly triggered her in the past that she does a great job, you know, breezing by it, letting it roll. Yeah. And that's amazing. Yeah. Okay. So here's where we get into the nitty gritty people. I didn't answer. Oh, I'm sorry. Go ahead. I wanted to move things along, but go ahead. It's okay. No, you go. I don't, I don't do the proud thing that much though. I think you should. I think you should. Honestly, I guess proud. Oh, I said, I'm proud of you. Okay. That's not, I know I'm proud for me. You know, I, I kinda, what am I, I guess it's a skill. It's a soft skill that turns into hard skills is the ability to learn things and not being afraid to try things and do things that I haven't done before when something needs to be done. So I guess that's how my career has gone. That's right. I'm almost to my career, you know, on the job training, something needs to be done. So you have to figure out a way to get it done. And I guess that's why I work at a research center because that's what we do. That's what you do. Absolutely. Okay. Number six is what needs to change. And if the answer is not immediately obvious, maybe you need to sit quietly and let your intuition speak to Yogi. But who I know, I know Yogi is done with this. Go ahead. They probably can't hear my, but, oh, well, I hear it. It's in my ear. Yeah. It's the microphones are set up to the, so they probably can't hear the whining, but maybe, maybe they can. Maybe they can. And it's not that we're abusing our dog is just that he's wearing a cone and he doesn't like it. He doesn't like the con. He winds by default. He winds by default. He's got it going on. So he can't lick his foot. So he's whining even more. So what needs to change? Okay. I know for me, one big thing that needs to change. For me, the big thing I need change is listening to my instincts and my body and stuff like that. And I have been listening to my body and I've been submissive to the fact that it does need naps. So that's something that I do do. Cause I know if, um, if I don't have that, I get a little crank, a little tired, a little mind fog. And if I don't take that nap a little bit. And reset it, then, uh, then I know, you know, I'm not going to enjoy my time as as much, so that's the one thing I've been listening to there. I mean, there are times you take a little too many naps. I need to also balance that. For me, what needs to change is I know that I need to take care of my health more and not just going to the doctor, getting all the stuff that I need to, but moving my body more. And I'll tell you why, because for me, I do give myself a hard time when I am sedentary, but I've noticed that I'm giving into the sedentary and I don't want to be like that. I want to continue to thrive. And for me, I know that getting movement helps me feel better. And when I'm sedentary, I want more sedentary and then less motivation to move, and it's so hard to get over that hump of, Oh, it's going to be hard. But even if I think of it, okay, what can I do today that it's 50 seconds and just build from something that is less sedentary. So for instance, when I'm watching TV with my mom at night, which I have gotten into the habit of doing, and certainly not something that I did a lot of before, one of the things that I do is I end up getting up, cleaning the kitchen and resetting and just not being in the same place. So that needs to change for me. It's difficult because that's the time you get to spend with your mom. Right. So, Hey, we should do, we should do game night like we used to in the summer with your mom, at least it's not in front of the television. That would be nice. All right. What's the next number? What do I want to hold onto in the new year? What's the question number though? Seven. That's seven. What is working so well, or it is a wonderful thing that you want to carry into 2026. I'm going to come back to you. Let you answer first. So for me, one of the things that has been working well is definitely the way that we're restructuring the business. And one of the ways in which we're restructuring is that we are moving to supporting individuals more with podcasting, more with becoming the thought leaders, positioning themselves, helping them do the things that get overwhelming in the day to day running of their business. And that's something that I'm very excited about for my personal life. What I do want to hold on to the new year is I want to continue to do my stoic journal, which really resetting with the stoic journal. And that's an app, by the way, it is something that helps me start my day in the right foot and my day in the right foot. And really that stoic thought framework of thought is something that has been really helpful. And how I'm navigating life overall. I know I have something. Okay. So something we've been working on in this year is processes. And we started to develop more robust processes because if you don't have processes in your business, your business will run you rather than you running it. That's right. And, and I'm taking that lesson into the new year. I had a lot of, I have a lot of processes in my head. Yes, you do. But that means that I'm the only person that can do that process. So in order to bring other people in to help, you need to develop processes that are less unique than in more, you know, more standard. So yeah, that's what I want to bring into the new year is, is, uh, the new processes that we've developed. Yeah. Well, you know, the, the one thing, and I've been reading the book by Michael E. Gerber, which is the E-Myth revisited and talking about processes. You are either a doer or a, uh, you're a business owner or an employee to yourself. So I love the fact that you're thinking about this because it's definitely something that will help us grow. Well, now for me, I think that you already answered. I did. Oh, okay. All right. Well, go. That's number 10. I, that, that was number eight. No, number seven. We did number seven. What's number eight? I was thinking eight, you had eight questions and I was, my brain connected last to 10, so number eight. So for me, what do I need to release and leave behind? What behaviors, bad memories, relationship ideas, roles? I will say right off the bat, having a manual for you or other people in my life is definitely something that I need to work on leaving behind. Also, I think, you know, I don't love to cut people off my life because I just love people in my life. However, there are some relationships, right? That are not necessarily building me and these relationships. I'm not going to cut people off, but I certainly want to spend time with the people that help me become the person that I want and are aligned to my values, aligned to what's important to me and are supportive and people who I feel are making me better by spending time with them. So what about you? What do you need to release? What do I need to release? Huh. Habits don't serve me. What? You know, um, you've done a good job with some of them. Yeah. So, I mean, that's knowing I mentioned this in the beginning, uh, not to give up. Because you're in pain. I like that. But to lean into it because you're in pain. Sometimes discomfort is important. Yeah. Yes. If you're in pain, you need to lean into it. I mean, is, did you, did you break a rib? Did you, did I mean, are you bleeding out? No, you hurt your pain. Come to terms with it. If you, if you can work through it and yeah, if you can, then yes. And then when you get to the other side, you proud of yourself that you worked through that and I mean, obviously, I'm not going to be able to do that. I mean, I'm going to say to certain pain that you shouldn't be working through. I mean, if you break something, yeah, what I'm saying, if it's something you can work through, you get to the other side, maybe that panel will be less. And, and whether it's physical or emotional pain, sometimes we really avoid it and we want to stay safe. However, nine times out of 10, that physical or emotional pain that we're avoiding, um, is not as bad as we think. Really? I'm just saying, just call me a big baby. I did, but I'm just saying it's psychological dude. It's it's the way the brain works. So anyway, well, that's your eight questions. No, I had 10. You said eight. No, I had said 10. You did. Yeah. We're going to have to, I'm going to have to, you know, make a comment or something and let Julie know that I was right. Tell Dan that I said 10 questions from the beginning. You can tag me on Instagram. Hey, I'm going to start the year off being wrong right away. Possibly most likely. That's never happened. Okay. Number nine. What am I waiting for? And I think most of us spend our life waiting for something, whether it is, we're waiting for things to really align or we're waiting for that person to take the leap or we're waiting for something that is going to change us, that is going to give us permission to arrive or to depart. And sometimes when we name what we're waiting for, helps us to see that, Oh, maybe I shouldn't be waiting for this. Maybe I just need to take action. So I think that that's an important question for us. Unless your life is a train station, waiting is a waste of time. Yeah. Cause what you're waiting on is not going to come unless you go to it. Yeah. And then there are some awesome adventures that maybe you've been putting off like traveling or writing your book or launching a podcast and you're waiting for something to align or be the right time. But my friends, life is so short. I want to encourage you to not wait, but take the leap and do it. Take that leap and stop waiting. Okay. You ready for 2020 for the last question? Yeah. Okay. Was that a question though? What are you waiting for? What are you waiting for? Question mark. Oh, it's kind of rhetorical. Yeah. Cause I didn't actually answer it. I just made a comment. I mean, the, have you been waiting on something to happen for you to like, do something or. Yeah. There's some, there's some things there, but yeah. Yeah. That's that's, that's the thing is like you're waiting to waiting for my washer and dryer to be in the first floor or waiting for waiting for time to, to, you know, um, have the freedom to do certain things. No, you're not, it's not gonna, not gonna come to you. Well, but yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right. This, that was the penultimate question. And this is the last question. Final question. Okay. I just like the word penultimate and I love to use it whenever I can. I know you use that every time you can. All right. So here's the question that I want you to focus on friends as we wrap up 2025. And we have a couple more days of this year. And by the way, I know I called it a dumpster fire, but 2025 is also filled with so many great gifts. And it gave us the opportunity to learn, to grow, to, to see the good in the world and to hopefully remember that we can be that good in the world. Now, here's what I want you to close your eyes and let yourself dream. And think specifically, what is it that you want for yourself, for your family, for your life, or what is, what do you want 2026 to be? What do you want for 2026? What am I? Well, I'm not able to answer the question because I think that this is something that I really based on my other answers will help me to really put together that. I know what my, I know what my B HAG is, but your B HAG. Well, my B HAG is to, you know, retire, work on the business full time, working the business full time would be great. Uh, not that I don't love my, my day job. But it would, that would be cool. And to have my full time job be here at Casa de Col. Well, here's what I'm, well, I would love that as well. And here's my wish when it comes to that. Well, you know, why it's, you know, give me that freedom, but it also, I think the work is very rewarding. Um, being able to help people like that. And that's, it really definitely is rewarding. But what I, I wish for is when you take the leap and then you decide that it's time and we're in a good place for you to move to being part of Casa, the confidence productions, media productions, or go confidently services full time that you do so not as a worker B, but that you do so as the owner, the manager, the person who, who envisions dreams big and allows others to do what they do best so that you don't retire from one job to work 24 seven in another job. So that's my wish for that. But that's not what I want for 2026 for me, because that's an answer that I need to kind of, that's my big hairy ass goal. Yeah. Well, there's other things I would, I want a lot of different things that I want to go ahead and, and look at for 2026. And I'm going to not buy the journal, not buy the new shoes or the yoga mat, but I am going to envision the person, the identity of who I want to become. And I'm going to start asking myself daily, am I becoming that person? And how, and, and, and need to brainstorm on the things that I'm going to need to do to be closer and closer to that person. So that's all I got for you, Daniel. That's all you got. That's all I got. That's all we have today, Julie. That's right. Daniel Collins. I think we should be mentioning one thing though, before we go now that we've got your questions out now that you're all that out, I think there's 23 amazing women who have contributed to. Confident you, the raw conversation book. And I think they should get a mention here. Okay. Well, I totally agree with you. I think that they do need to be mentioned. And again, the book drops December 31st. Yeah. So if you didn't know, Confident You, The Raw Conversations is New Anthology. It's a, it's a book collaboration. Between myself and 22 incredible individuals who I met through doing The Confident You radio show. And these are real stories of courage, healing, and redefining confidence. One of the things that we wanted to do with this book is to help others kind of find their own confidence by doing so with the inspiration and real life tools of people who have done some of the work, have gone in really challenged the status quo in their life or decided to take leaps that seemed impossible or took the brave step to begin the healing process of trauma, emotional growth, and really rebuilding trust in themselves. So each chapter is going to offer you a reflection, insight, and a perspective that hopefully invites you to pause, to breathe, and to listen to yourself more deeply because you read it. It's good. Yeah. It's amazing. It's good. And, uh, I know I'm just a dude, but it's, it's really good. Yeah. And, you know, it's not the type of book that you need to read from cover to cover. It's the type of book that is broken into four different parts so that depending on where you are and the type of work that you need to do, you can jump right into it. Cool. And that's all I got for you. All right. So be able to look for that. Julie's gonna start, you know, product links and the social media. That's right. And we'll all be in the show notes and I'll put the questions in the show notes for you, my friends. So, all right. So you know what? Use the last year to power next year, your successes, your failures. That's right. And I hope that 2026 is as good for you as it will be for me. Amazing. Did you see it coming? Yeah, I saw that positive highs. That's right. That's pretty good, right? Very good. All right, Julie. Why don't you run this out and the end the show. Okay, everybody. You know what to do. Go to the show notes. And if you have been listening to the show and you enjoyed it, I would love it. If you became a subscriber to the show, because it helps us to grow the show and to continue to support and enhance and help others in their own journey to confidence. So thank you, my friends, for being a part of Casa de Confidence. All right. Have a happy new year and we'll see you in 2026. Group Att Poland
