2026 A Year of Change…
If you’ve been following LyfeActuallyy, then you already know this platform was never about perfection. It’s about real life, the messy middle, the unseen sacrifices, the quiet strength it takes to keep showing up for your family when no one is clapping.
As I close the chapter on 2025, I’m doing so with intention, not resentment. This year stretched me as a wife, mother, sports mom, businesswoman, and a woman learning how to choose herself without guilt. I didn’t come out of 2025 unscathed but I came out wiser. This post isn’t just a recap. It’s a declaration.
2025 taught me that survival mode is not a badge of honor. That being strong all the time comes at a cost. That pouring into everyone else without pouring back into yourself will eventually demand repayment with interest. I learned that not every opportunity is aligned, not every "yes" is obedience, and not every open door is meant to be walked through. Most importantly, I learned that protecting my peace is protecting my family. To the mothers reading this the ones managing schedules, emotions, finances, sports seasons, marriages, businesses, and expectations I see you Luv. 2026 is not the year we continue to overextend ourselves just to prove we’re capable. It’s the year we move with intention. With boundaries. With clarity. We are allowed to want more than survival. We are allowed to want rest and results. As I step into 2026, I’m speaking life over my household. And I would suggest you do the same.
This is the year doors open for my children that some tried to quietly shut. Opportunities delayed by politics, bias, favoritism, or ego will no longer be blocked. What’s meant for them will find them. They will be seen clearly. Treated fairly. Supported honestly. No system, no narrative, no agenda has authority over what God has already written. I’m also choosing to release the political chaos and societal pressure that weighed heavily on so many families in 2025. The division. The fear-based messaging. The constant pull to be outraged. In 2026, that weight no longer lives here. I’m focusing on what I can control: my home, my health, my faith, my work, and my purpose. I’m choosing to build instead of debate. To heal instead of react. To lead my family with discernment instead of anxiety. In this next season, we’re moving differently. We’re choosing peace over proximity. We’re choosing alignment over approval. We’re choosing consistency over chaos. We’re teaching our children that opposition doesn’t mean you’re wrong it often means you’re early.
If you’re reading this and you’ve felt tired, overlooked, or misunderstood this is your reminder that seasons change. That preparation often looks like isolation. That delay is not denial. 2026 is the year we stop dragging old weight into new rooms. We walk forward grounded. Focused. Faith-led. This is the year of change. For me. For my family. For every mother building a legacy while living real life. This is LyfeActuallyy.
