Happy 2026!
I spent the last few weeks slowing down, spending time with my family, and reflecting on the past year.
Maybe you did too?
So to help you gain some perspective, I gathered up my most popular Grow North Thursday newsletters and LinkedIn posts.
I hope you find some actionable tips and systems to support those big ideas or challenges you're contemplating.
Here's to making 2026 our best year ever! π€ π

If even one newsletter or post here helps you breathe a little deeper, think a little clearer, or move a little closer to your purpose, then I’m grateful.
Here’s to meaningful progress and a year that supports who you’re becoming.
I'm always rooting for you. See you next week.
