A gentle reset for the in-between week (free + live Monday)

Hi Reader,

A small reframe I keep coming back to:

Overwhelm isn’t always “too much work.”
It’s often the cognitive cost of carrying too many unfinished things at once — half-decisions, outdated obligations, invisible responsibility, and the old scripts that keep running even when they’re no longer true.

This in-between week is a rare moment to release some of that before 2026 begins.

So I’m hosting a free, live reset:

The Let It Go RESET: A Strategic Capacity Workshop
Monday, Dec 29 | 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM PST
Free (my gift to your nervous system)

We’ll do four things together:

  • Reflect on what mattered this year
  • Release 3 things you’re leaving in 2025 (one physical item, one mindset, one obligation)
  • Clear one small area in real time (cords / papers / expired meds — your choice)
  • Protect your new capacity with a simple Q1 “Navigation Anchor”

If you want to start 2026 lighter, I’d love to have you.

P.S.: I’m considering a short series that decodes workplace dynamics through scenes from Heated Rivalry — using my “befriending dragons” lens (the conversations we avoid until they cost us). If you’ve watched, reply with your favorite scene and the workplace moment it reminds you of.

With dragonfire warmth and enduring wisdom,
