2024 was a year of deeper love—for myself. No one ever taught me how to love, so I’ve been learning how in my 40s. And let me tell you, it’s been a beautiful, challenging, and transformative journey.
This past year, I:
• Set boundaries unapologetically
• Said no to what wasn’t aligned with my soul
• Dated myself and fell in love with my own company
• Tended to and nurtured myself like I was my own garden
• Got comfortable with just me
And you know what? I’m proud. I love how I showed up for me. I’m proud of how I honored myself, trusted myself, and poured into my own cup.
So as I step into 2025, I’m keeping that same energy—only this time, I’m taking it deeper. This year, it’s about preparation and pleasure.
My word for 2025 is preparation because I’m laying the foundation for the woman I’m becoming. In so many ways, I’m preparing for the best version of me to emerge. I’m preparing to relocate to New Orleans in 2026, creating a life that feels like freedom in every way.
And my feeling for 2025?
Pleasure. I’m leaning into joy, ease, and what feels good—whether that’s in my body, in my work, or in my daily rituals. I’m embracing the idea that life can be soft, luscious, and full of delight, even in the midst of preparation and transformation.
This year, I’m continuing to love myself deeper, to date myself, to say no to what isn’t aligned, and to say a full-body YES to what feels like freedom and joy.
If you’re on a similar journey of self-love, healing, or starting over, I want to remind you: it’s never too late to learn how to love yourself. It’s never too late to create the life you desire. And it’s never too late to make freedom a lifestyle.
Let’s step into this new year with intention, love, and the courage to prepare for our next-level selves.
With love and freedom,
Siobhan
