The weeks after the New Year live in a strange space.

We’re still closing chapters from the year that just ended, but we’re not fully anchored into the vision that’s beginning to form. And yet, we’re often expected to feel clear, focused, centered, and ready to go the moment the calendar turns.

In this episode, I’m talking about the in-between. The gap where you’re no longer who you were, but not yet fully rooted in who you’re becoming. This is often the space that comes right before an up-level. And it’s also the space where things can feel wobbly, confusing, and a little… leaky.

When we’re here, our foundations matter more than ever. Our routines. Our habits. The decisions we’re making. How we’re leading ourselves day-to-day.

This is a call back to center. Back to your roots. And also a recognition that the roots you need now aren’t the same ones that got you here.

I share a simple but powerful re-anchoring perspective (including a very real mom-after-winter-break metaphor) and why leadership hygiene is non-negotiable if you want to build something that lasts.

And if you want to go deeper, I’m sharing the personal practice I used during this season inside my free Substack this week, which I’ll link below, along with ways to work with me.
