My Everyday Life: Week 3

My Everyday Life Week 3- Here’s what this past week looked like:

This week, I prepped for my Self Check In 2026 workshop on Zoom! 

We made lists together, processed 2025, and set our Intentions for 2026.

self check in with TRACY!

I also shared how choosing a word for the year can change how the year unfolds.

In the process, I looked over all of the times I tracked workouts in 2025 using my monthly template.
