1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,720 I think this is the year that Tiger Sisters goes mainstream. 2 00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:05,480 I'm going to host a dinner party no matter what. 3 00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:07,800 I'm going to host a game night no matter what. 4 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:11,120 I cried into my eggplant parm. It was really good though. 5 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:13,400 So good. Vision Board. 6 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:20,000 Maybe it's a little bit crazy, maybe it's a little bit intense. 7 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:21,800 I think it's just very organized. 8 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,680 Guys, dare to dream, dare to dream big. 9 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,640 I want to feel very present and enjoy the moments of like play, 10 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,800 like teehee, like banser through the grind. 11 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:35,880 So it just feels much more sustainable. 12 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,040 Is that why you're not wearing any pants? 13 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,720 I'm. Cherie, I'm Jean and we're. 14 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,160 The Tiger sisters. We are your Silicon Valley and 15 00:00:45,160 --> 00:00:48,200 Wall Street Big Sisters. And we're a top ten business 16 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:52,200 podcast on Spotify where we talk about money, power and love. 17 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,000 The biggest mistake that people make in January is rushing into 18 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,480 the new year without reflecting or thinking about the previous 19 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,000 year. We feel so eager to get a start 20 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,880 on 2026, but really we're so much better served when we slow 21 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,920 down, reflect and think about what went well and what didn't 22 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,880 go well in the last year so we can set ourselves up for the 23 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:13,800 next year. This is actually backed by 24 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,320 science, because Harvard researchers have found that 25 00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:19,840 taking a few minutes to reflect on your performance can improve 26 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,360 your next rounds of performance by 18%. 27 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,680 In this next 30 minutes, we're going to give you 3 questions to 28 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,920 reflect on for your 2025 and then three questions to think 29 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,640 about for your 2026. So remember, Sheree, how we 30 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,040 talked about William Bridges transitions framework in our old 31 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,560 episodes? So we're kind of back in that 32 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,040 framework again because right now we're in the neutral zone. 33 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,240 I'm sorry, but everything has to be a framework with us. 34 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,120 I love it. Can you remind us what the 35 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:47,240 neutral zone is? Yeah. 36 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:51,120 So the neutral zone is the part of the framework where you're 37 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,320 after the end, before your new beginning, and it's where you 38 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:58,000 slow down and you can really be intentional and think about what 39 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,760 you want to do so that you're really confident about your new 40 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,560 beginning. And science actually backs up 41 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,920 this idea that fresh starts work. 42 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,720 Yeah, it's a Wharton study, right? 43 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:09,840 It's actually famous. It's called the Fresh Start 44 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,200 Effect. And it shows that milestones or 45 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,200 landmarks like a birthday or a new year is a really good time 46 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:20,080 to reset and start anew. Temporal milestones. 47 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,400 OK, so let's get started on all of our own personal frameworks 48 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,720 on how we make goal setting fun and actionable. 49 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,920 Today's episode is presented by Sofi, the All in one finance app 50 00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:33,200 that helps you bank, borrow and invest your money in one place. 51 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,000 OK, so something that Gene and I love doing is having a word or 52 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,760 phrase of the year. And I think this just really 53 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:47,520 boils it down to a very focused type of framework so that like 54 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:48,360 you. Don't have one word? 55 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,440 Framework, one word framework or phrase because like, I don't 56 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,120 know, I think just having like a lot of goals in the beginning of 57 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,800 the year can be overwhelming. So if you have just like one 58 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,520 word that encapsulates all of them, it can bring your focus 59 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,000 back to this one thing. So Jean, what is your word or 60 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:05,640 phrase of the year? Well. 61 00:03:05,640 --> 00:03:08,640 Before we get into that, I noticed that this is getting 62 00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:12,120 really popular because multiple people have asked me what my 63 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,200 word of the year is. So my cashier at Trader Joe's 64 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:16,560 asked me what the word of the year. 65 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,280 Was our Trader Joe's person asked us what are three goals of 66 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,320 the year? And I thought he asked me what 67 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:22,360 the word of the year. Was no. 68 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,680 He asked us what the three, your three goals are and I said 69 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,440 that's too many. I only have one word of the 70 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:28,480 year. Oh, I forgot. 71 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,880 This is a patented Sharif I. Misremembered. 72 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,480 OK, well same idea. OK, anyway, I don't have a word 73 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,320 of the year because I am obsessed with words. 74 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,920 So I have a series of words for the year. 75 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:49,080 They are fun, ease, joy, light, abundance, and breakout. 76 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,160 What do those words mean to you? And like, is there one that 77 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,400 stands out most to you or do they all have equal waiting in 78 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,120 your mind? I mean, I feel like they're all 79 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:03,000 part of this like broader vision that I have for myself for the 80 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,360 year where I mean, we'll get into this once we like go 81 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,840 through the questions for reflecting on 2025. 82 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:14,720 But I feel like 2025 was like a super heads down focused year. 83 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,160 And so through these words, I'm trying to bring in like a lot of 84 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,040 these things I want to bring back into the new year. 85 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,640 So like fun, ease, joy, light, abundance. 86 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,840 Those are not really focused on work per SE, because I think I 87 00:04:28,840 --> 00:04:33,120 already am naturally so focused on work except for breakout. 88 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,720 Breakout is about breaking out. Like our breakout year? 89 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,200 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think for me, my word of the 90 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:45,480 year for 2026 is play and it's informed by doing a lot of 91 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,920 reflecting on 2025 because looking back, I didn't have a 92 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,440 2025 word of the year last year. So like if I'm thinking now, 93 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:56,000 what would describe my 2025, my word is grind. 94 00:04:56,280 --> 00:04:58,840 And I don't really mean that in a good way like I thought 2020. 95 00:04:58,840 --> 00:05:01,520 Doesn't mean at the club. No, I don't mean at the club, I 96 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,480 mean grind. We're on the grind. 97 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,080 Set the grind. Set stone nose to the grind 98 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:07,160 stone nose. To the grind stone. 99 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:12,840 I think 2025 was really tough in a lot of ways work wise. 100 00:05:12,840 --> 00:05:17,120 As you guys have been watching Tiger Sisters, it's been like so 101 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,600 fun, but also behind the scenes like so much work and so 102 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,640 grueling. And I mean that it's like a work 103 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,000 of passion, a work of love. And of course I love giving my 104 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,000 all into it. But like Jean and I are, by the 105 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,000 end of the year, we're like. Oh, we're close to burnout. 106 00:05:32,280 --> 00:05:33,720 Oh my God. Yeah, so. 107 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,400 So I would say 2025 was really tough and it was grind, which is 108 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,120 why I was like doing all this reflection that we'll like talk 109 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,520 through like for 2026, I'm like play. 110 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,400 We need to, we need to laugh more. 111 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,520 We need to have fun and through the hard work. 112 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,600 Like, yes, that's still going to be there because I love what I 113 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,000 do. But like, I want to feel very 114 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,120 present and enjoy the moments of like, play, like tee hee, like 115 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:02,000 tee banter, and also just like, put more time into like, 116 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,880 relaxing, enjoying, Yeah through the grind. 117 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,920 So it just feels much more sustainable. 118 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,120 Is that why you're not wearing any pants? 119 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:17,800 Hello, this is a shirt sweater dress so no pants are needed. 120 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:18,480 Nice. So who? 121 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:19,960 Who, Who makes it? Where's it from? 122 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,120 I don't remember. You'll have to ask my stylist, 123 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,560 Emily Tyra. I'm not concerned with such 124 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,960 details. OK, she's all about play. 125 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:31,520 She's not worried about the details anymore. 126 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,440 Yeah, I think it's also cool how our words are sort of aligned. 127 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,040 For 2026. Yeah, 'cause my first one is 128 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,160 fun. Yeah, which is when you play, 129 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,280 you have fun. No, I think so. 130 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,560 I think so. They are really related. 131 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:49,440 You and I felt similarly, that 2025 was a lot of work and very 132 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,840 rewarding, but it could be more fun. 133 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,760 Yeah, it could be more fun, Ease, joy, light and abundance. 134 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,320 Yeah, you good? Those are. 135 00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:01,600 I like those words, but I'm like you. 136 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:02,600 Thank you. Thank you. 137 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,480 Okay, I will be good in 2025. I'll be great. 138 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,240 I'll be fun. 20262026, yeah. I'll be fun, ease, joy, light, 139 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,600 and abundance guys. I love that. 140 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:12,880 I love that for you. I wish that for. 141 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,520 You thank you. So we actually have all these 142 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,840 different frameworks and we ordered them in kind of like 143 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,480 order of simple to more complex so that you can build up and you 144 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,920 can sort of choose, pick and choose which ones you actually 145 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,920 want to do. And you can just only do the one 146 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,320 word or you can do you know, there's, there's more you'll 147 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:31,400 see. There's like a lot of different 148 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,160 exercises that you guys can think through. 149 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,520 So this the first one word of the year like that can take you 150 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,600 30 seconds to like 3 minutes to be like, what do I want to focus 151 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,120 on? Yeah, now we have a little bit 152 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:45,080 more a step up in complicated. You need a piece of paper and a 153 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,280 marker. And so our next framework is our 154 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,960 bingo card of the year and this. Is a Cherie special? 155 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:57,320 This is a Cherie. Special and so we'll talk about 156 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,120 our vision boards later because I think those are complimentary. 157 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:04,240 Yeah, I think a bingo card is if you guys have played bingo, it's 158 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,800 usually like a 5 by 5 and this is something that you can make 159 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,480 yourself. So I will show the camera now if 160 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,720 you guys are listening, I'm putting my 2025 bingo card up on 161 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,320 screen. It's a 5 by 5 grid. 162 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:19,800 You know, we used to play bingo as kids. 163 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,520 So I'm like, this is kind of fun. 164 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,480 And the idea is not so much that you need to do everything on the 165 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,600 bingo card, like hitting bingo like you're trying to get five 166 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,840 in a row vertically, horizontally or diagonal, but 167 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,320 it's kind of fun if you do fill it out. 168 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:38,039 But basically these were just like a mix of activities that I 169 00:08:38,039 --> 00:08:43,240 wanted to accomplish in 2025 and what looked like a very full and 170 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,160 complete and balanced life for me. 171 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,520 So you can see on this bingo card, there's a couple of things 172 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,560 that are work related. There are milestones there that 173 00:08:51,560 --> 00:08:54,840 are, you know, personal. Like I have one that's like, oh, 174 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:59,240 I wanted to fall in love in 2025 and oh, it's colored in. 175 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,080 I did fall in love in 2025. Did everyone? 176 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,280 Has make kimchi at home. I made kimchi at home that's 177 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:10,160 still in our our fridge, slowly eating that. 178 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,840 But like you can see like those are two very different random 179 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,640 stuff. And then I have like host a 180 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,720 dinner party, ski a new mountain. 181 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,640 And then I wrote down all the new mountains I skied this year, 182 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,320 which is actually a lot. Go to a concert, read 12 books, 183 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,000 volunteer three times, go to the gym 30 days in a row, speak at a 184 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,840 conference. Like these are all such random 185 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,840 things, but like from my brain and my head that I'm like, this 186 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,960 is what a very full life for me look like in 2025. 187 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:36,960 So why did you make this bingo card? 188 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,120 I wanted it to. Like so Gene and I vision board, 189 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,800 which is basically like we try to manifest and see what we want 190 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,400 to accomplish. The bingo card is more tactical. 191 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,760 It like is activity based so that I can be like, yes, I have 192 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,600 a vision to make Tiger sisters podcast a success, but what is 193 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,520 the metric behind that? And that would hit that would 194 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,560 mean like hit 100K Subs on YouTube, for example. 195 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:06,840 So, you know, I have in my mind a manifestation to like spend a 196 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:11,040 really nice weekend in this like snow chalet. 197 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,560 Oh, what does that mean? Ski a new mountain? 198 00:10:13,680 --> 00:10:16,480 Like, you know, so like I might have all these visions, but this 199 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:22,160 makes it much more tactical and I guess precise and real of 200 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:23,800 like, what am I actually trying to do? 201 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,120 You know? So I love my 2025 bingo card. 202 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:27,440 The first time I've ever done it. 203 00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:31,240 I've never done it before this something that I did realize 204 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,440 that I'm applying to 2026 bingo card, which I haven't made yet. 205 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,080 But like, this was kind of an intense year, you know, like if 206 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,920 you look at all these things, they're all like go, go, go 207 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:46,040 activities like host a game night, host a dinner party, go 208 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:50,040 to the gym 30 days in a row. Like I've learned from doing my 209 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:54,040 bingo card that 2026 is actually going to be a year of rest for 210 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,160 me. Like relax at the spa. 211 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,680 This was needed. And I will be doing more of 212 00:10:58,680 --> 00:11:00,480 this. And I'm going to be like get a 213 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,640 massage like 5 times this year. I'm going to put that on my 214 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:04,880 card. Like you'll see. 215 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:06,360 And maybe I'll share it with you guys. 216 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,600 Thumbs up in the future. But I'm like, I'm naturally a 217 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,360 very active person. And so I'm going to host a 218 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,000 dinner party no matter what. I'm going to host a game night 219 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,080 no matter what. Because like, I want to do it, 220 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,480 but I need to kind of force myself to slow down more. 221 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,160 Okay cool, do you see what I make more goals around slowing 222 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:29,080 down and play? Slowing down play and like doing 223 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,080 nothing. And ease, perhaps? 224 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:32,960 And. Joy and light and joy. 225 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:34,880 And break out. That'll be me, yes. 226 00:11:35,560 --> 00:11:39,040 So that's my bingo card. OK, now I get, I get it. 227 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:40,400 We actually never talked about. This. 228 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:41,240 Yeah. You've never asked me. 229 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,600 You never. Cared no, I saw it I was like oh 230 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,880 cool bingo card but I get it because this is your version of 231 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,400 what I do which is I'll tell we'll tell you guys we'll. 232 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,840 We'll get into that teaser teaser. 233 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,200 This is cool, right? I also, OK, I also like that you 234 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,760 just mentioned you're like, oh, I haven't done my bingo card yet 235 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,320 and we're well into January again. 236 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,400 That is like another reminder that we are in the transition, 237 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,640 right? We're in the neutral zone. 238 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,120 Yeah. There's no rush. 239 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,680 And like, one thing I've adopted this year is, OK, have you 240 00:12:11,680 --> 00:12:15,240 noticed that there's so much content now about the Lunar New 241 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,240 Year and like how we're leaving the Year of the Snake and 242 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:19,920 entering the Year of the Fire Horse? 243 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,560 Yes, I have seen. So I feel like that's new in 244 00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:27,040 culture, like nobody, it never used to be a part of like 245 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,280 Western popular culture that people are always talking about 246 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:34,440 like, well, I think. Astrology is is like Western 247 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:39,040 astrology is having a moment and so I think it's stern and then I 248 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,520 think it's pulling in the Eastern Zodiac stuff. 249 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,760 Yeah, Oh, so, but the reason I bring that up is because the 250 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,120 Lunar New Year is not until February 17th. 251 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,680 So technically according to the Eastern calendar, the new year 252 00:12:50,680 --> 00:12:53,080 has not started yet. So that's why I like, really 253 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:57,400 love this idea of like between January 1st and the Lunar New 254 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,000 Year, which this year is February 17th. 255 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:05,080 That is your very well defined transition, your transition 256 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,280 zone. So this is the month and a half 257 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,840 where you can think about all the ways you want your next year 258 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,680 to be and do all these exercises so you have plenty of time. 259 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:15,880 Absolutely. I actually don't feel stressed 260 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,960 at all. I think the old me five years 261 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,160 ago would be like, Oh my God, it's January 1st. 262 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:21,800 I need to have all my goals ready and like blah, blah, blah, 263 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,680 blah. But now I'm just like, it'll 264 00:13:23,680 --> 00:13:26,120 happen when I'm ready. I'm being very deliberate. 265 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,080 I'm thinking through. I'm like, I don't want to rush 266 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,560 my bingo card, you know? Like I want to make sure 267 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,480 everything on my card is what I want it to be like. 268 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,840 It has weight because it determines what I do with my 269 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:39,080 ears. So I want to be very 270 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:40,760 intentional. She writes it in Sharpie. 271 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,120 Guys, I write. Not in pencil. 272 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,120 Exactly. So I don't know, just allowing 273 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,440 some time for me to, like percolate on it. 274 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,360 I came up with five things to be on my bingo card last weekend. 275 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,280 Yeah, but I'm like, I got 20 more to go. 276 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,000 Like I don't need to. Give us a preview. 277 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,560 What's 1? Get it? 278 00:13:57,560 --> 00:14:02,120 Get 5 massages this year. I that was not a joke. 279 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,920 OK, OK. And like go to a Korean spa and 280 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,120 get like a scrub down. Oh my God, I'm doing that. 281 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,280 Yes, next, next weekend. So, like, more of that next 282 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:11,520 weekend. More of that, yeah. 283 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,000 And less like, also like go to the gym 30 days in a row. 284 00:14:15,560 --> 00:14:18,520 Quite honestly, that was not really healthy. 285 00:14:18,560 --> 00:14:20,360 OK. I said that when she set that 286 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,600 goal, I made that comment. If you guys remember, we talked 287 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,840 about it. You know what, it was a like a 288 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,960 Canon event for me, OK? I needed to go through it to 289 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,560 realize that it was #1 very hard. 290 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,800 But also too, I was like really straining myself. 291 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,240 You need time for rest and recovery. 292 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,120 She literally hurt her back like so like. 293 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,360 You see, I didn't need to do that. 294 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,880 Yeah, I didn't need to do that. We need periods of rest and 295 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,640 recovery and restoring ourselves, and that's gonna be, 296 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,640 what, 2026? Is and also now we're doing 297 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,680 exactly what we said we would do at the beginning of the episode. 298 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,160 You're reflecting on your goals and what you did in 2025 and 299 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,160 using that to inform 2026. Absolutely. 300 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,000 Now you're not gonna have a goal of going to the gym 30 days in a 301 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,560 row. Hell no. 302 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:06,640 I need a rest because everything is so busy as it is and if I 303 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,800 don't rest I will be running 1000 mph. 304 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,440 Yeah, OK, now let's get into my version of the bingo card. 305 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,400 You know, I think people don't realize how much mental load 306 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,080 you're carrying day-to-day when your finances aren't in order. 307 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,520 I mean, we talked about this on multiple episodes, and it's a 308 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,880 hot topic that listeners ask about all the time. 309 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:25,600 Yeah. For example, carrying high 310 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,960 interest credit card debt can feel like something that's 311 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,400 impossible to get out of. Like you can make all of your 312 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,920 payments but depending on the interest the balance barely 313 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,000 moves.

Can I see it or is it a secret? 327 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:23,240 It's not a secret, it's just like guys, it's how many pages 328 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:23,640 is. This. 329 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,800 Yeah. Why do you have a PhD thesis as 330 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:27,360 your bingo card? It's literally. 1. 331 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,800 It's literally 2A silly like 5 by 5 map. 332 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,280 And yours is five. It's 6 pages. 333 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:38,240 A multi page paper. OK, so guys I do this thing that 334 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,800 is this year is going to be called 37 things to do while I'm 335 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,680 37 and so it changes every year. So last year was 36 things to do 336 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:51,080 while I'm 36 and I got the idea from a friend of mine and it's 337 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:55,000 basically you list out 36 different things and they can be 338 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:59,320 totally trivial or they can be really serious or they can be 339 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,320 recurring things or they can be one time. 340 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:02,600 Things. Give us some examples. 341 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,079 OK, so the first thing I have, this is kind of similar to 342 00:17:06,079 --> 00:17:08,520 yours. So OK, what I've done is I write 343 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,560 down this entire, I write, write out first a paragraph of like 344 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,200 what I want the year to be about, right? 345 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,160 And then I also write last year. This was for the first time I 346 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,440 did it. It's like you do a scripting 347 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,560 exercise, which is you write a script of like how you feel in 348 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:29,480 an average day in your new year. So I did those two things and 349 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,200 then I. Created or read them for us or 350 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,240 or excerpts of them. If they're not too personal, 351 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,280 please share with the audience. All right, sure. 352 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,120 So the theme, oh, I also have a theme for the year. 353 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,680 I've created this. This is a lot guys, but this is 354 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,800 this is what I'm like. So the theme last year was 355 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,280 making big moves and believing everything will work out in my 356 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,000 favor. And then little star emojis. 357 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:55,520 I'll read a little bit of the beginning. 358 00:17:55,800 --> 00:18:01,520 So I wrote, 2025 is when one, I tap into my energy of exactly 10 359 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,840 years ago, which is when I was entering HBS with massive 360 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,480 excitement, hopes, dreams, a hypothesis and a plan slash 361 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:12,920 experiment to execute. And two, I apply all that energy 362 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,400 with the wisdom and hard fought lessons I've gained over the 363 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:19,200 last 10 years to do and achieve my current goals in a much 364 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,840 happier, healthier and more successful manner. 365 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,760 Similar to 10 years ago, I'm fully entering a new phase of my 366 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,000 life. Last year was focused on closing 367 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:32,120 out the last phase where, like HBS, the possibilities really do 368 00:18:32,120 --> 00:18:38,360 feel endless dot dot dot. Whoa, there's a lot more 369 00:18:38,360 --> 00:18:39,840 sentences. Yeah, I know. 370 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,000 They looks like I've. Yeah, I know term scripting. 371 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,800 I'll just read you guys the first couple sentences because 372 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,800 then you can get idea of how to do your own scripting. 373 00:18:47,120 --> 00:18:49,840 So scripting. I wake up feeling refreshed 374 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:53,080 after a highly restorative sleep after going to sleep before 375 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,680 midnight the night before. Did not successfully do that 376 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,840 this year. Major win already. 377 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,880 I'm so cheesy. I'm energetic and looking 378 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,120 forward to a day that has a healthy mix of exercise, working 379 00:19:05,120 --> 00:19:07,520 on Tiger Sisters, and progressing on my personal and 380 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:11,720 relationship goals. dot dot dot. So those are like the first two 381 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,640 giant paragraphs that I have. Then you write down all your 382 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,000 different goals. So 1 I had was go to the gym or 383 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,440 exercise at least three times a week consistently. 384 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,920 And then I created all these little boxes where I had 156 385 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,320 boxes where I could fill out the days that I went to the gym. 386 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,320 So at the end of the year or at the beginning of this year, I 387 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,080 went back and I did that sort of accounting. 388 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,200 I like went in my calendar. I looked at all the days where I 389 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:34,920 went to the gym and I filled it out. 390 00:19:35,360 --> 00:19:39,320 So you have that or I have that's health. 391 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,840 And then I have a section on relationships, have a section on 392 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,280 career, family, growth, mindset and creativity. 393 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,800 And then the last thing I'll meant finances, personal care 394 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,040 and fun. And then the last section is I 395 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,240 write out all the months of the year and I write out some fun 396 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,720 things that I'm looking forward to or events or activities for 397 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,880 each of those months so I have something to look forward to. 398 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,800 In like 2026. For the next year. 399 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:09,800 So the other thing to mention is that I know I said it was like 400 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,280 37 while I'm 37. One way I've revised this over 401 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:19,480 the years is that I used to feel a little bit like dissatisfied 402 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,960 when I would do the review at the end of the year and I'd be 403 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:27,360 like, oh, like, well, they're 36, but I only achieved 20 and I 404 00:20:27,360 --> 00:20:32,920 didn't feel good about that. So instead now I have like 69 so 405 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:38,360 that I can so that I can achieve 37 or so it's more likely for me 406 00:20:38,360 --> 00:20:41,800 to achieve 37 and give myself 100%. 407 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,080 That's great. Yeah, I love that. 408 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:45,800 Yeah. Like, shoot for the moon, 'cause 409 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,160 then you'll land among the stars. 410 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:51,840 Yeah, so last year for 2025 I literally had 69 items and like 411 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,080 some of them are super boring. Like 1 was file file personal 412 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,640 taxes on time. But that's. 413 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,000 A win A win is a win a. Win is a win, guys. 414 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,040 But did you do that on time? I did. 415 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:03,680 I checked it off. Oh, I thought we got an 416 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,720 extension. That's still on time. 417 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:11,920 On time with an extension, yeah. One is like donate clothes and 418 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,640 shoes after closet clean out. Like it doesn't have to be, you 419 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,760 know, crazy things or like some of them can be crazy things 420 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,720 because the idea of having so many is that you don't have to 421 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,800 achieve them all. Like you can make some of them 422 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:29,360 really crazy and out there and very aspirational just so that 423 00:21:29,360 --> 00:21:31,920 you like write it down somewhere and you can. 424 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:36,200 You can go back to it, you can have it carry over for the next 425 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,200 year. I mean, even I have like go to 426 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:43,480 Dartmouth, 15 year reunion, I did it. 427 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:44,920 She was going to do that anyways. 428 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,400 I didn't do that anyway. That was like a one of my like 429 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,600 my Gimme block in the middle of my bingo square. 430 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:50,720 That was going to happen anyways. 431 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,280 Exactly. So you can write because you 432 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,440 have so many that you can do. You can also write ones that you 433 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,440 know will for sure happen. That's part. 434 00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,680 Just make it however you want to, however you want to make it. 435 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:04,440 But that is what I do. Maybe it's a little bit crazy, 436 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,280 maybe it's a little bit intense. I think it's just very 437 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,080 organized. Yeah, I think that's the word I 438 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,160 would use, and it's very intentional. 439 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:12,280 Yeah. And you put a lot of thought 440 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:13,960 into it. I like how you have all these 441 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,720 different categories that you named out so that you can think 442 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,480 about your life very holistically. 443 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,680 I tried to do that that with my bingo card with the activities, 444 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,320 but I like how you've even broken yours down into 445 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:29,920 categories so that you can like think through each one, come up 446 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,080 with, you know, a few in each bucket. 447 00:22:32,360 --> 00:22:33,840 Right. And this is also how it's 448 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,040 evolved for me over the last like 5 or so years. 449 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,000 I didn't used to have different categories. 450 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,760 I didn't used to have 69. I used to, you know, I didn't 451 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:47,880 used to have, I don't know because is it 2037 * 36 * 2? 452 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:52,800 No, just it's a good number, just a good number. 453 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,040 I didn't used to have the scripting like I just added all 454 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,160 these things. So don't feel like you have to 455 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:02,480 do all this stuff because it is a lot. 456 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,520 You can even just start with like, OK, let me write down 15 457 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:06,920 things. Let me write down 10 things. 458 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,520 Like, you know, they're just options, different ways to go 459 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,680 about it. It's a sliding scale. 460 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,960 You can do as much or as little as you want, but know that you 461 00:23:16,120 --> 00:23:18,520 Jean does a lot because like she likes doing this stuff. 462 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,840 But if you want to do, you know, just 10% of that too, I would 463 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:23,840 say that's a good place to start. 464 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,280 And you can keep evolving it and see what you like and don't like 465 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,960 year after year. OK, so Sheree, what is the last 466 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,720 method that we're going to talk about? 467 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:32,240 Vision boarding. Boarding. 468 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,480 OK, so Gina and I are nerdy sharing our vision board on 469 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,240 screen right now. Yeah, it's pretty nerdy. 470 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:44,160 If you're listening to this, we've pulled up our massive 471 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,680 posters of the vision boards we've made for 2026. 472 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,280 These are the biggest vision boards we've ever done. 473 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:54,280 It's because we've, we have big visions for 2026 and don't 474 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:58,000 worry, we just did this like 4 days ago. 475 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:02,400 This was one of the things that we wanted to do some fun just 476 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,880 last week. So yeah, with vision boards, 477 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,040 basically the whole idea, there's not that much structure 478 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:09,880 to it. But what you want to do is get a 479 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:14,080 blank poster board. It can be small, medium, as big 480 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,320 as ours. Ours are like kind of massive. 481 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,480 But you just want to take some magazines you have and go 482 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,840 through those magazines. It's not that deep. 483 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,200 Flip through the magazines. Whatever speaks to you. 484 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,840 It could be words, it could be an image. 485 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,320 You can see from our vision boards. 486 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:33,040 We have jewelry, we have words. We have vacations scenes. 487 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,560 I have fruit, I have veggies, I have flowers, a girl doing a 488 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,320 cartwheel, a bicycle ride. As I said, word of the year for 489 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:44,840 me for 2026 is play. So I have the word joyful, that 490 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,000 girl having fun. It's the year of the fire Horse. 491 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,640 So I have some horses on my vision board, but you want to 492 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,080 put them all together. And then I like having this in 493 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,360 my room so that every single day I wake up, I can kind of see the 494 00:24:56,360 --> 00:25:01,040 scene of what am I 2026 is meant to feel and look like. 495 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,160 Yeah, and that is actually the like science behind it is the 496 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,960 ideas that you're looking every single day at your vision and 497 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,160 what you want the, you know, your year in your life to look 498 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,560 like. And then you subconsciously are 499 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,600 working towards that. So that's the. 500 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,000 Manifesting. Yeah, that's the idea behind it 501 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:24,400 of why you create this vision. And also also your vision board 502 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,120 only has to make sense to you. It's actually really funny 503 00:25:27,120 --> 00:25:30,080 because I showed my vision board to our friend Michael and he was 504 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,160 like, oh, an iceberg. And I was like, no, it's not. 505 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,840 It's not. Like it's an iceberg, but. 506 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,600 OK, I guess. But it's Antarctica and it says 507 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,400 what if there was another world out there? 508 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,320 And it's just, it's what speaks to me. 509 00:25:42,360 --> 00:25:43,920 Yeah. Like it's not an iceberg, but I 510 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,000 guess it is a iceberg. But it's really not that deep. 511 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,160 Like, not that deep. It's not that. 512 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:51,400 Deep if it if you feel a pull towards an image or like a 513 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,760 feeling towards a color like I have just like a lot of orange 514 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:58,920 in the middle of my board. I have juices, fruit and citrus 515 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,080 and books. I want to do reading, but like, 516 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:02,960 I just like the orange color in the middle. 517 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:04,720 Like, that's that's all it is. Yeah. 518 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,000 And of course, we got to have some jewelry. 519 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,720 I don't know. It's also, I will say it's kind 520 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:13,400 of a nice balance between the previous exercise that we did 521 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:17,080 where obviously I wrote this like dissertation of sorts of 522 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:18,520 how I want my year to be. Yeah. 523 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,600 And this is just all visuals. Yeah. 524 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:25,280 So I'm a very, what is it called when you're a person that's like 525 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,280 about like words and writing? That's ironic that I don't know. 526 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,160 Yeah, that's ironic that I wouldn't know the word and I'm 527 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:32,920 trying to describe myself as that word. 528 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:34,960 But then I'm also a very visual person. 529 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,200 So that's why I like doing both of these exercises. 530 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,840 It's using different sides of your brain, I think. 531 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,560 And different sides of your like manifestation. 532 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,240 And different sides of your what? 533 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,640 Why are you laughing? Like we're so desperate to 534 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,720 manifest 2026. We're doing all these tools. 535 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,760 We're like we need to do. We need the visual, we need the 536 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:56,680 paper. Like we need whatever we can 537 00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:57,920 get. Like fucking works. 538 00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,280 It like works. It works. 539 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,560 It actually works. It actually works. 540 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,960 Hello tigers, have you seen or 2025? 541 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:05,040 Have you seen? Like. 542 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,240 This is scientifically. Perfect tigers. 543 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:08,880 This is just like nothing. It was like a speck. 544 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:13,240 It was like a A well, it was like a deck that we made. 545 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,800 Yeah, it was one year ago. Yes. 546 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,600 So, yeah, this is our vision boards. 547 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,640 It's oddly very personal, but like Gene said, it means 548 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,240 nothing. But it also means everything. 549 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:24,840 Yeah. So try out, try it out. 550 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,760 Try out the exercise. It doesn't have to be obviously 551 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,560 as gargantuan as this. I have a massive poster board, 552 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,920 but also know that Gene and I have been vision boarding for 553 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,960 the last decade, literally for the last 10 years. 554 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:36,120 Yeah. So like, this does not 555 00:27:36,120 --> 00:27:38,560 intimidate us. We started out much smaller and 556 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,280 built up from. There I have forced many a 557 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,200 friend to vision board with me. Oh yeah, I've actually held 558 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,400 division board parties at Stanford, like for about. 559 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,440 Stanford. Well, for like my girlfriends, 560 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,640 like multiple times. And actually if you ask anyone, 561 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:53,000 like, they will say that. Yeah. 562 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:54,720 And they enjoy it. Yeah, it's fun. 563 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:56,080 And also, you don't have to do it this way. 564 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,360 You don't have to cover every piece of, you know, empty space. 565 00:27:59,360 --> 00:28:01,120 You could just have like 4 photos on it. 566 00:28:01,120 --> 00:28:03,840 Yeah. Just use your creativity. 567 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,320 Lean into your creativity. It's a very like this is this is 568 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:08,760 nothing. It's it's fun. 569 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:09,800 It's nothing, but it's everything. 570 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,800 It's nothing but everything. OK, so vision board is another 571 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:17,560 tool you can use and try out. Yeah, highly encourage it. 572 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:19,560 OK. So just a really quick rundown 573 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,520 of all the methods that I guess we use. 574 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,040 We use a lot of methods. So Word of the year, bingo 575 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:30,560 board, the 37 while 37 and vision boarding. 576 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:34,160 Yes, those are our methods. Again, I feel like we're so 577 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:37,760 desperate to manifest shit that we have to throw everything at 578 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,040 the wall and see what works. No, but it's fun. 579 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:41,320 It is fun. It is fun. 580 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,160 It's like future planning, but make it fun. 581 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,680 Yeah, yeah. And then you can kind of use it 582 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,360 like as an opportunity to go crazy, just like think about 583 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,280 like what are all the things that can happen that are 584 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:52,760 positive? And then you just put them all 585 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:53,920 down and then maybe they'll happen. 586 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:59,720 It's true, guys, dare to dream, Dare to dream big, and we'll get 587 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,600 into our end of year reflections right after this break. 588 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:04,680 Before we start, just a quick moment. 589 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,480 Please double check that you're subscribed to Tiger Sisters on 590 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:11,080 YouTube and following Tiger Sisters Podcast on Spotify and 591 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,640 Apple Podcasts.

Now let's get into the show, OK. 601 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,440 So what we're going to do now is we're going to do end of your 602 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:44,080 reflection questions where we have three questions that we are 603 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,560 going to talk through ourselves and they're to reflect on 2025. 604 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,920 And then next we have three questions that are for 2026. 605 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:55,800 And the reason we're doing this is to kind of to do the exercise 606 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:59,960 ourselves and then to also like show you guys how it can be 607 00:29:59,960 --> 00:30:03,200 done, like an example. Yeah, and it's like it's not 608 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:04,920 that deep. Like it's, it doesn't have to be 609 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:06,760 so serious. I think a lot of people put a 610 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,200 lot of pressure and weight on themselves to be like, Oh my 611 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,080 God, let me sit down with a pen and paper and like meditate for 612 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:13,640 an hour and a half. Like it's not really like that. 613 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,280 It's a conversation between the two of us. 614 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:16,920 We're going to talk through these questions. 615 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,440 Hopefully they can inspire or spark something within you and 616 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,240 you guys as we're talking through it, like think through 617 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,160 your own, you know? Yeah. 618 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:28,040 And these are actually I picked the three from each out of a 619 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,720 longer list have questions that are for reflection, but so you 620 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,440 can do just these three or we'll share the longer list in our 621 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,120 description so that you, if you really want to get into it, you 622 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,240 can. If you want to be an A+ student, 623 00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:41,280 there's more. There's more where this came 624 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:45,000 from. OK, so the first question is one 625 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:49,840 word to describe 2025. Mine was grind, grind set. 626 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:53,360 I shared that in the beginning, so it informs my 2026. 627 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,360 But yeah, I thought 2025 was kind of hard. 628 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:57,560 Good, but hard. What's your word? 629 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:01,600 Maybe my word for 2025 was building. 630 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:05,760 Why are you laughing? OK, please say. 631 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:10,200 More OK, OK. Building Building yourself 632 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:14,600 Building Tiger Sisters. Building, yeah, both of those 633 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,120 things, but it was also really tiring. 634 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,160 She she's Barbara the Builder. I'm Barbara the Builder. 635 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,320 She's. No, I was Barbara the Builder in 636 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,480 2025, but going to be different in 2026, you'll see. 637 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:27,920 Well, I kind of I like the word building. 638 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,520 Building is tiring, but it's like also building the 639 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,320 foundation of what needed to happen. 640 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,440 I do believe in sweat equity. Like you cut you like there's 641 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,520 this doesn't happen for no reason, right? 642 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:39,920 Like we were working really hard. 643 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,120 Hopefully we can bring more joy and fun into it. 644 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,440 But like we were building, it was the grind and like we set 645 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:49,080 the foundation for 2026 where we can like run full speed and 646 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:53,080 hopefully be more efficient at our building and enjoy more. 647 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:54,880 OK. My additional commentary on 648 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:58,080 that, because I am a Smith, is that I would say it was both 649 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:03,280 building and rebuilding. She thought she did something. 650 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,240 There. What are you talking about? 651 00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:07,480 Rebuilding What? Myself. 652 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,720 OK, OK. She's sure. 653 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:12,600 Sure, Sure, sure, sure, sure. I see that. 654 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,400 I see that guy. Sorry, which is why I was so 655 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:18,840 tired because I was building and rebuilding at the same time. 656 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,600 Say more. Just like kind of rebuilding 657 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:27,160 myself as a person, you know, like I used to be partnered and 658 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,920 was for a really long time, like almost a decade. 659 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:35,560 And so now coming into this new life in my mid 30s where I'm 660 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:39,760 single and an entrepreneur and like a Co founder and working in 661 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:44,640 media, just sort of like rebuilding my concept of myself. 662 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:48,840 Like think about I'm a totally different person now at the 663 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:52,600 beginning of 2026 than I was at the beginning of 2025. 664 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,520 Like I rebuilt my entire freaking identity. 665 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,680 Like who am I? Who am I? 666 00:32:57,920 --> 00:32:59,440 Who is she? I don't know. 667 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,040 She's she's still rebuilding. I'm still rebuilding. 668 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,240 So she'll figure it out in 2026. Q Jean Valjean. 669 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:15,480 Who am I 24601? Sorry, we're getting a little 670 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,440 loopy now. OK, so our next question for end 671 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,800 of your reflection is your biggest failure. 672 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,040 So Jean, what was your biggest failure for 2020? 673 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,280 Five. OK, so I think my biggest 674 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:31,840 failure was not having balance. And I know that is such like a 675 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:35,800 cliched word, but I really do think so. 676 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,880 For the first half of the year, I was doing a really good job of 677 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:44,040 balancing work, but also having fun and having a social life and 678 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:48,640 working on like personal goals and like going out to different 679 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:52,240 social events and making new friends and like dating and all 680 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,040 that stuff. But then I feel like things 681 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:58,520 really took off around summertime and then after that I 682 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,840 was just like you said, grind, right? 683 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:04,240 I was just like heads down working, working on Tiger 684 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:08,880 sisters all the time. And we really, really pushed 685 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,679 ourselves. And I even knew like, remember 686 00:34:11,679 --> 00:34:14,480 we had conversations towards October. 687 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:16,840 We're like. More dangerous. 688 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,040 Little dangerous to burning out and crying. 689 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,800 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Currently by the end of the 690 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,880 year. By the end of the year, like one 691 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,800 of our friends and mentors was in LA and we had this 692 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:33,080 celebratory dinner with him where I literally cried at John 693 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,440 and Vinny's in the middle. She had, she had like tears. 694 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,320 I like tears. You couldn't hold it back it. 695 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:39,120 Couldn't. It couldn't. 696 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:40,679 Too much. You were holding everything in 697 00:34:40,679 --> 00:34:42,840 it, kind of. It wasn't an explosion by any 698 00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,159 means, but it you just couldn't. It was just like a waterfall, 699 00:34:45,159 --> 00:34:46,760 like you couldn't stop it. Yeah. 700 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:50,159 And I had been holding it in for a long time. 701 00:34:50,159 --> 00:34:54,360 I know because there's just, I mean, I'm so proud of what we've 702 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:59,440 done and I, I don't know if like I would really change the way we 703 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:03,240 went about it, but I can change going forward. 704 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,200 So we'll get into that with like 2026. 705 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,240 But that's why I think it's good to to think about this question 706 00:35:08,240 --> 00:35:12,360 was your biggest failure because it's something you can change 707 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,840 now, right? Like you don't have to repeat 708 00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,800 the past. You can do something different. 709 00:35:19,240 --> 00:35:21,320 I love that. But yeah, it was. 710 00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,640 But it kind of my answer is a little bit like they're like, 711 00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:26,600 what's your biggest weakness? I'm like, I'm too much of a 712 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,680 perfectionist. She works too hard. 713 00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,040 My biggest failure is like, work too hard. 714 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:31,200 She can't. Stop working. 715 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:32,480 Can't stop working. I'm just. 716 00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,520 She worked to the brink of crying at at lunch. 717 00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:38,640 The brink of and I went over. And I cried at lunch. 718 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,640 And then she did cry at lunch. I cried into my eggplant parm. 719 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,800 It was really good though. So good, yeah. 720 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:47,400 Yeah, I do. Tell me yours. 721 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,480 My biggest failure, it kind of goes into the next one, what we 722 00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:52,720 have. OK, so I'll answer my biggest 723 00:35:52,720 --> 00:35:55,520 failure, but it does dovetail into the third reflection 724 00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,600 question, which is one thing you want to leave behind from 2025 725 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:05,720 and mine, my biggest failure is kind of answering it in the 726 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,200 similar way. I'm too much as too much. 727 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,440 Too much of a perfectionist. No, I'm too much of A softy. 728 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,560 And what I mean by that is I'm thinking about my friendships 729 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:19,040 and personal relationships. And I had a couple of like light 730 00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:23,680 bulb moments in 2025 where I was really tested in these 731 00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:28,040 friendships that I've had. And I guess the thing I want to 732 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:34,880 leave behind in 2025 is fake friends. 733 00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:37,960 Dude, That's actually not really what I mean. 734 00:36:38,240 --> 00:36:42,320 But I mean, just like I put a lot of my love and care into my 735 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:45,280 friendships. I love so deeply guys. 736 00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:48,800 And when I have these friends or people that I meet, I give it my 737 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,520 all. And like, it's kind of like a a 738 00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:53,720 pattern for me. And like a whole I keep falling 739 00:36:53,720 --> 00:36:56,200 into year after year where like I'll meet someone I'm like, Oh 740 00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,240 my God, they're my soul sister. And then like I give them so 741 00:36:59,240 --> 00:37:01,560 much of my time, energy and love. 742 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:05,480 And then when I, I guess, ask for it to be reciprocated in 743 00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,920 some way, it's not. And then it becomes very clear 744 00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:10,760 to me. So honestly, I think my biggest 745 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,720 failure in 2025 is like falling into that pattern again with, 746 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,000 you know, some like a friend, someone who I thought was like a 747 00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:22,720 very close friend. Well, your first mistake, OK, is 748 00:37:22,720 --> 00:37:24,560 that you only have one soul sister. 749 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,400 Oh yeah, true. Well, I have one real sister. 750 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,200 You. That's true, but that's why I 751 00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:31,600 say. Already your soul sister, but. 752 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:32,760 That's what I mean by a soul sister. 753 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:34,080 They could never be my real sister. 754 00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:38,000 Oh, your soul sister Sista. 'Cause you're my real blood 755 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:42,280 sister connected by DNA. Yes, genes. 756 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:47,200 So yeah, I don't know, like, yeah, that was a really hard 757 00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:52,960 learning and a lot of reflecting on like how to think about 758 00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,920 friendships, how closely to hold them into my heart and how 759 00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:59,160 closely to trust people who haven't demonstrated that they 760 00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,840 can be trusted. I'm just naturally a very much 761 00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,840 like, Oh my God, we're going to be besties type of person. 762 00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:08,560 I tell people stuff, I I invite them into my life, I let them 763 00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:12,040 meet my family. And then when I like kind of 764 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:16,640 expect that sort of love back, it's like not met with that. 765 00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,480 And so I guess I'm kind of rambling on now because it's, it 766 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,640 is a topic that does make me uncomfortable still. 767 00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:24,680 But like, I want to leave that in 2025. 768 00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,480 I hope I am much more wiser for it. 769 00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,960 I want to protect my heart a bit more. 770 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,080 And I mean that like still be a loving, kind person. 771 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,880 But I am, I do want to be more discerning because there are 772 00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:39,240 lovely people in my life that I do hold close to my heart who've 773 00:38:39,240 --> 00:38:42,760 shown me so much love. But it's taken a lot to, like, 774 00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:47,240 get there, to know that, like, I don't have to give it away to 775 00:38:47,240 --> 00:38:49,320 people who aren't going to love me back. 776 00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:55,920 I actually, it's crazy 'cause I have a similar sentiment and we 777 00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:57,800 haven't talked about this at all. 778 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:00,480 We don't talk to each other except for when we're in these 779 00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:02,760 seats because we need to, we need to keep it fresh. 780 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:04,600 You know we have no communication. 781 00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:06,240 Otherwise. We only. 782 00:39:06,240 --> 00:39:09,400 Text, so maybe you have a similar sentiment. 783 00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:11,080 Yeah. Well, but I was going to answer 784 00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:14,640 it for the third question, which is the third question is what is 785 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,080 one thing you want to leave behind from 2020? 786 00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:20,000 Five fake bitches. Yeah, I mean, I kind of was 787 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:21,720 going to say that in a different way. 788 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,240 Well, I was going to say that, but in a more me oriented way of 789 00:39:25,240 --> 00:39:28,560 like something I can leave behind of my myself, which is 790 00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:31,680 OK, I guess. I, I don't, I haven't thought of 791 00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:33,280 the perfect word. I was going to go with like 792 00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,360 insecurity, but it's not so much insecurity. 793 00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:41,560 It's more so like worrying about what other people are thinking 794 00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:45,720 and doing or like thinking about me, which I know seems kind of 795 00:39:45,720 --> 00:39:50,880 ironic because I basically like bare my soul and my heart and my 796 00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,040 brain and like everything and your framework. 797 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,600 I mean, at least I'm wearing pants, but I'm just kidding. 798 00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:57,840 But like I bare my soul on this podcast. 799 00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:00,520 But it's different because this is like. 800 00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:03,480 For some reason, it just feels like it's a safe space, right? 801 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:06,360 Like I feel like everyone here who's watching, You're opting 802 00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:08,040 into this, right? You want to be a part of this 803 00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:11,280 tiger family. You, you care about learning and 804 00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,560 improving yourself and like being in this sort of community 805 00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:16,520 with us. I think it's more so where I 806 00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:22,000 feel insecure honestly, is like certain friends of mine, I 807 00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:25,880 think, or like acquaintances, where, as I mentioned, I have 808 00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:30,120 really then evolving and like rebuilding myself over the last 809 00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:34,520 year and a half. And I'm not outwardly the same 810 00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:38,680 person that I was, you know, a year ago, two years ago, three 811 00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:43,640 years ago, four years ago. And so, OK, I saw this, this 812 00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,880 video clip of I can't remember who it was, but it was a 813 00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:49,120 different podcast. And they were talking about how 814 00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:54,920 this one guy was like, I just know that two of my friends send 815 00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:58,600 each other clips of me and like making fun of me because he was 816 00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:00,680 a creator or a podcast. He was like, I just know that 817 00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:03,040 they do that. And like he was like, what do I 818 00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:04,760 do about that? And the other person was like 819 00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:06,640 fuck them. They're not your friends if they 820 00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:08,960 do that. I know, I know, but they're like 821 00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,200 acquaintance. I don't know this for sure, but 822 00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,960 I'm just, you know, when you have a feeling about something. 823 00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,160 So like, even if that is the case or isn't the case, I'm 824 00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:20,280 putting it more upon myself to be like, who cares? 825 00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:25,440 Like what does it matter, right? Like if someone, you're either 826 00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:29,640 someone that talks about ideas and concepts and growth, or 827 00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,040 you're someone that talks about people and if you're just always 828 00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:36,360 talking about other people in a negative way, then you're just 829 00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:39,040 kind of in a different category of person than I am. 830 00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:41,560 I don't know, I'm just kind of like talking to. 831 00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:44,840 Myself, she went off. She she ate with that. 832 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,440 Did I? She said yeah, she said keep my 833 00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:51,760 name out your mouth. Or keep it in your mouth and I 834 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:52,640 won't care. Yes. 835 00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:58,000 So that's what I want to leave behind is kind of caring too 836 00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:03,280 much about what other people think of me, 'cause what does it 837 00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:06,840 matter, right? We're just. 838 00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:09,600 Living our best life. Well, you just, I'm imagine 839 00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,040 hating us. We're living our best life. 840 00:42:12,720 --> 00:42:15,480 I'm not wearing pants. We're recording this podcast. 841 00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:19,560 All we try to do is like help other people by making this free 842 00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:23,400 podcast. So imagine hating us. 843 00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:26,400 Yeah, so that's one I want to leave behind. 844 00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,520 Mm Hmm. OK, Now really quickly, we're 845 00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:33,560 just gonna do the three questions for 2026 and you're 846 00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:37,880 supposed to write or say your responses as if it's the end of 847 00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:40,960 2026. So it's kind of like projecting. 848 00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:43,560 We've ended 2026 and everything has happened. 849 00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:45,560 What will have happened? Yeah. 850 00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:46,920 How would you answer these questions? 851 00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:47,720 I love that. OK. 852 00:42:47,720 --> 00:42:50,720 So the first one is what was your headline for 2020? 853 00:42:50,720 --> 00:42:54,120 Six, OK, I'm going to refer back to my word breakout. 854 00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:56,360 I think that's going to be the headline for 2026. 855 00:42:56,640 --> 00:43:00,680 I think this is the year that Tiger Sisters goes mainstream. 856 00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:04,040 I'm putting it out there, guys. I'm putting it out there. 857 00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,920 I think it's our breakout year. If you're watching this right 858 00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:10,920 now, say Tiger Sisters is mainstream, because then we'll 859 00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:13,280 have that many more people manifesting it with us. 860 00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,800 Say It with us Tiger Sisters is mainstream. 861 00:43:17,240 --> 00:43:19,760 Like, comment and subscribe. Yes, share with your friends. 862 00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,200 Yes. And then the next question is 863 00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:25,680 what resources did you need to support you this year? 864 00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:30,400 I love this then 11 resource I definitely need was therapy. 865 00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:35,000 Yes, it's something that I've been doing consistently for the 866 00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:38,200 last year plus and will continue to do so. 867 00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:41,720 Let's say it's end of 2026. I am so proud of myself for 868 00:43:41,720 --> 00:43:44,880 continuing to do therapy consistently this year. 869 00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:49,600 It's something that I need to work out my brain and work out 870 00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,640 my emotions to help me get through the fake bitches. 871 00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:56,240 And also like, I'm really, really proud. 872 00:43:56,240 --> 00:44:00,560 If it's the end of 2026, I've been journaling every morning 873 00:44:00,720 --> 00:44:04,720 and that's just another method. I have to get all of my like 874 00:44:04,720 --> 00:44:07,480 stuff in my head down on paper. So it's not like bogging me 875 00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,080 down. And if it's the end of 2026, I 876 00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:13,240 am so proud of myself that I've continued my journaling habit 877 00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:15,600 daily, weekly, but it's consistent. 878 00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:19,400 Great answer. Thank you for me for the 879 00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,000 question. What resources did you need to 880 00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:24,440 support you this year? I would say like a lot of 881 00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:27,560 different resources. I think in 2025 one thing we did 882 00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:31,320 not do enough is bring in other resources. 883 00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:34,640 I think we were very self reliant just because we're Tiger 884 00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:37,520 sisters for Tiger sisters and just for like life stuff. 885 00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:43,520 And I think 2026 is all about us growing and in order to break 886 00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:46,760 out, we need help. That's been something like we've 887 00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:48,640 known, but we haven't had time to execute. 888 00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:52,280 So looking back on 2026, like what resources did you need to 889 00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:55,440 support you this year? It would be a really long list 890 00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:58,880 of like all the different people that we have helping us both in 891 00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:02,800 our life and in our our business. 892 00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:04,760 So even like I don't know for example. 893 00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:09,480 My outfit brought to you by my stylist family Tyra, who is a 894 00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:12,480 new addition into our life, A recent addition who is now 895 00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:15,560 helping us look better and feel better. 896 00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:17,200 Yeah.

So that times 1000. 899 00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:28,320 And finally, the last question, where did you shift how you 900 00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:29,960 spent your time or energy this year? 901 00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:35,600 What did you say no to in 2026? I said no to a lot of things in 902 00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:37,360 2026. And actually I think that's 903 00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:40,440 where my power lies in the ability to say no. 904 00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:45,080 I think obviously saying no to things that distract from the 905 00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:48,840 focus of what I'm doing with Tiger Sisters, but also saying 906 00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:52,480 no to myself, which I think is actually a good thing because I 907 00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:56,160 think my natural inclination, I said before, is to do, do, do, 908 00:45:56,160 --> 00:46:01,480 do, do a zillion and one things. I want to go out and meet people 909 00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,880 and travel and like travel every other weekend and I need to say 910 00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:09,080 no to myself. I need to sit down and relax. 911 00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:14,320 I need to be on a beach, I need to be in a massage chair and I 912 00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:18,160 need to be with myself. Wait, I have a idea. 913 00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:21,520 What if, like another framework exercise, you do is you write 914 00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:24,040 down all the things you won't do in 2026? 915 00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:28,760 I won't to do the dishes in 2020. 916 00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:30,720 I'm just kidding. I don't know why that came to 917 00:46:30,720 --> 00:46:32,040 mind. Yeah. 918 00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:36,480 So yeah, I think that's what I'll say. 919 00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:38,600 No a lot. And I hope to say no more, 920 00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:40,440 honestly. Yeah, Yeah. 921 00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:42,840 Now that we've gone through these six questions of what 922 00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:46,440 you've reflected on for 2025 and then also looking forward to 923 00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:50,440 2026, what you have already accomplished, take this time to 924 00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:52,600 sit down. I don't know if it's 5 minutes 925 00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:55,360 or 50 minutes, but set. Spend some time doing these 926 00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:58,160 exercises. And hopefully all of this was 927 00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:01,160 really helpful to you guys. Again, you don't have to do all 928 00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:05,240 of it, but this is just stuff that we literally do in our own 929 00:47:05,240 --> 00:47:06,520 lives. Like, we showed you the vision 930 00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:07,880 board. We showed you Cherie's bingo 931 00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:09,880 card. I read you my scripting from 932 00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:11,160 2025. Yeah. 933 00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:12,840 We never thought we'd be doing that. 934 00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:16,440 Did not think I'd be putting that out into the world. 935 00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:20,400 But if it's helpful, hopefully it's helpful for you guys, yeah. 936 00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:23,800 So thank you guys so much for tuning into this episode. 937 00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:28,240 Please remember to subscribe or follow if you're listening right 938 00:47:28,240 --> 00:47:30,560 now.
