You can change your life in 2026

Two years ago, I hit rock bottom.

I was in Bali.

The sun was shining.
The island was beautiful.

But inside, I felt like everything was falling apart.

I had come here chasing something — freedom, clarity, a fresh start.

What I didn’t realise is that this trip would break me before it built me.

I arrived in Bali alone.
No plan.

Just a handful of freelance copywriting clients.
Barely enough income to cover my living expenses.

But I was optimistic.
Hopeful.
Ready to “make it work.”

Two months in…

Every client I had disappeared.

Here’s what I heard:

• “We’re shifting priorities.”
• “I’m burning out, I need time off.”
• “We just don’t have the budget anymore.”

One by one, they dropped off.

And just like that, I was on the other side of the world…

Alone.
With no income.

Same place.
But this time, it’s a completely different story.

In the time since that low point, I’ve:

→ Built a 6-figure business
→ Grown an audience of 60,000+
→ Carved out a name for myself in the industry I love

But here’s the part most people don’t see:

• I worked obsessively for 1.5 years
• I didn’t take a single day off
• I worked from 10AM to 3AM
• I took client calls at midnight and 5AM just to keep things moving

Was it sustainable forever?
No.

Was it worth it?
Yes.

Because that season taught me something:

When the pressure is real, you either rise or you give up.
And giving up was never an option.

So why am I telling you this?

Because we’re stepping into a brand new year.

And maybe you’re standing at the edge of your own version of Bali.
Maybe you’ve got the dream, but not the roadmap yet.
Or maybe you feel like you’re already behind.

I want you to know this:

You are not.

You don’t need more time.
Or more talent.
Or more permission.

You just need to decide.

Decide that this will be the year you stop playing small.
Decide to give it 6–12 months of focus, obsession, and grit.

Because you can change your life in 2026.

I’m not saying that because it sounds nice.
I’m saying it because I’ve lived it.

95% of businesses fail in year one.

But in my experience?

You only hit rock bottom when you stop digging.
So don’t stop.

Make 2026 the year you don’t quit.
Make it the year you blow your own mind.

To your next chapter!

Love,
