Before You Set 2026 Goals, Do This: A Special Christmas Reflection

Hey

As Christmas arrives, I’ve found myself slowing down and reflecting.

Taking stock and realising just how big this year has been.

In the past few weeks, almost every woman I’ve spoken to has said the same thing in different ways:

2025 has tested us.

Emotionally.

Professionally.

Mentally.

It’s been a year of change, uncertainty, and growth (sometimes all at once). And I think before we rush into another year with fresh goals and expectations, it’s important to pause and acknowledge that.

That’s why I recorded this week’s podcast episode just for you…

A Christmas pause

This week’s episode is short and intentional.

A moment to slow down, reflect, and breathe.

It’s important to spend time with the people you love, check in with someone you haven’t spoken to much this year, and give yourself permission to rest properly… without guilt.

Because rest isn’t falling behind.

It’s how we reset.

A small moment that stuck with me

Recently, I was out on the streets chatting to women about their careers and how they’re feeling about AI.

One woman, May (a consultant working in transformation), shared something I loved.

She said if AI still feels intimidating, don’t start with work.

Start somewhere that feels fun, like Christmas.

She talked about using AI for things like:

• planning Christmas Day

• writing shopping lists

• coming up with games or conversation starters

• organising family plans

And her point was simple:

Confidence with AI doesn’t come from “learning it.”

It comes from using it safely, casually, without pressure.

I loved that framing.

If AI has felt overwhelming this year, Christmas is actually a perfect, low-stakes place to begin. No performance. No risk. Just curiosity, and a great way to introduce it to the family.

That’s how confidence is built, one small rep at a time.

Thank you

Before I sign off, I really want to say thank you.

Thank you for listening to the podcast this year.

Thank you for the messages, shares, and conversations.

And to everyone who has bought a copy of The Bold Move, thank you so much.

If you’re reading it over the Christmas break, I’d genuinely love to hear what’s resonating for you. You can message me on LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, or simply reply to this email. I read every message.

What’s coming next - 2026 Reset Challenge

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing more about a reset challenge I’m putting together, something I’ll be doing myself, and something I’d love you to join me on.

Nothing overwhelming.

Just a chance to reset before we carry old habits into a new year.

For now though… pause.

Be present.

Enjoy the people around you.

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas

With love,

Georgie 💜

P.S. I’ve got some really beautiful and exciting things planned for 2026. I can’t wait to share more with you soon.
