Hi, I'm KIM

more about me

Let me guess…
You’re already dreaming about the next version of yourself. The one who’s more confident, more consistent, more in control of her money and her time. The one who finally feels like she’s running the show instead of chasing it.

And here’s the tea, bestie:
Your 2026 doesn’t magically arrive on January 1st.
It starts right now—in the tiny, quiet choices you’re making today.

Not the massive life overhaul.
Not the 47-step morning routine.
Not the color-coded everything (unless you’re into that—no judgment 😉).

Just five simple, powerful moves that set the tone for your next level.

Let’s crack ‘em open.


Move 1: Decide What You’re Done Settling For

This one isn’t flashy—but it’s everything.

Before we talk goals, plans, or big bold dreams, you’ve got to get clear on one thing:
What are you no longer available for?

More overwhelm?
More procrastinating your own dreams?
More saying “someday” instead of “now”?
More pouring into everyone else while your own goals sit on the back burner?

Breakthrough doesn’t start with adding more—it starts with dropping the dead weight.

Quick challenge:
Write one sentence and finish it:
“In 2026, I am no longer available for _______.”

That’s your line in the sand.


Move 2: Choose One Direction (Not Ten)

You don’t need 17 resolutions.
You don’t need five new side hustles.
You don’t need to reinvent your whole personality.

You need one clear direction.

The reason so many women feel stuck year after year isn’t a lack of motivation—it’s scattered energy. Too many ideas. Too many open tabs. Too many half-starts.

Breakthrough comes when you stop asking:
“What could I do?”

And start asking:
“What am I choosing on purpose?”

Pick the lane:

  • Building a digital product
  • Growing your audience
  • Creating consistent income
  • Finally setting up systems
  • Becoming visible
  • Simplifying everything

One lane. Full throttle.


Real Talk Check-in …

If this is hitting a little too close to home and you’re thinking,
“Okay… I know I’m meant for more—but I need structure and accountability to actually follow through,”

Just know… you don’t have to figure that part out alone.
Something is coming that was built exactly for women with big dreams and full lives.
(Keep reading—I’ll spill more soon.)


Move 3: Build Momentum Before Motivation Shows Up

If motivation were reliable, we’d all already be living our dream lives in cute matching sweatsuits.

But motivation is moody.
Momentum? Momentum is loyal.

Waiting until January to “feel ready” is how breakthroughs get postponed again and again. The women who create massive change don’t wait for the perfect moment—they start messy and build confidence along the way.

Tiny consistent action right now > Perfect plan later.

Ask yourself:
“What is one small move I can make this week that Future Me will thank me for?”

Send the email.
Outline the idea.
Open the account.
Post the thing.
Buy the domain.
Block the calendar time.

Momentum doesn’t care about perfection. It only cares that you start.


Move 4: Stop Doing It Alone

You are not supposed to build big dreams in isolation.
You’re just not.

Accountability changes behavior.
Support changes confidence.
Community changes everything.

If you’ve ever thought:
“I’d be further along if I just had someone to keep me consistent…”
You’re probably right.

Being surrounded by women who are building too—who normalize the discomfort of growth—keeps you from quitting when it gets inconvenient.

Breakthrough energy multiplies when you’re not the only one dreaming out loud.


Move 5: Act Like the Version of You That Already Won

This is the quiet power move no one talks about.

How does the woman you want to be:

  • Make decisions?
  • Protect her time?
  • Speak about her goals?
  • Follow through on commitments?
  • Show up when life gets busy?

You don’t become her after the results.
You become her before the results.

Not perfectly.
Not dramatically.
Just intentionally—one choice at a time.

You don’t need a new personality.
You just need to start honoring the one that already knows what she’s capable of.


Let’s Be Real for a Second…

If you’ve been feeling that little internal nudge lately—the one that whispers,
“This year can be different…”
That’s not random.

That’s your next level trying to get your attention.

You don’t need to overhaul your whole life overnight.
You just need to stop postponing the life you say you want.

Small steps. Real support. Focused action.
That’s how breakthroughs are actually built.

Your 2026 is already unfolding.
You just have to meet it with intention.

Full throttle forever.


One Last Thing…

If reading this lit that spark in your chest—the “I’m ready, but I don’t want to do this alone” kind of spark—then keep your eyes on what’s coming next.

The doors to GRIT Collective are opening soon, and it’s designed for women exactly like you:
Big dreams. Full lives. Zero desire for burnout culture.

It’s where clarity meets consistency.
Momentum meets mentorship.
And your “someday” finally meets a plan.

No pressure. No overwhelm. Just real support for building a business that actually fits your real life.

You don’t have to jump in today—but just know:
Your 2026 glow-up might already have a front-row seat saved. 💛
