Here's your very own 2026 Goal & Life Planning Notion Masterpack

Girl, you’re about to walk into one of the best chapters of your life…

Are you ready for 2026?

If there’s only one thing you do today, make it this…

Not a Pinterest vision board. Not a vibey collage.

Those are fun, I get the appeal, but they don’t actually change your life because they don’t tell you what to do next.

That’s why most people do vision boards wrong.

Last year, instead of making something aesthetic, I built a system. And that system is what helped me triple my income, triple my following, and move into my dream home all in one year.

Here’s exactly what I included in mine:

• Annual goals so big they felt almost delusional
• Quarterly goals that broke those down into something I could actually execute
• One clear #1 priority per quarter so I wasn’t doing everything at once
• Weekly focuses so I always knew what mattered that week
• A monthly success tracker so I could see progress in real time
• Daily and weekly tasks directly tied to my goals
• A short list of habits I wanted to build, not 20, just the ones that moved the needle
• Space to reflect on what worked, what didn’t, and what needed to change
• A word of the year to anchor how I wanted to show up
• And finally, a vision board but with measurable goals I could actually quantify, not pictures

The important part is this:

You don’t just visualize “success.”
You decide (with numbers!) what success looks like across Work, Love, Play, and Health.

And you aim so high that if you hit even part of it, your life will never look the same.

That’s the difference between a vision board that feels inspiring…and one that actually works.

🛠️ Build Gen She With Me

Everything I got from posting content this year that changed my life…

My 2025 in Review

January: The Gen She Texas chapter hosted its own makeathon completely independent of me or the global Gen She brand. 100 female founders pitched ideas and built them into reality. Watching Gen She live and grow beyond me was surreal. Finally my legacy is actually scaling.

February: Moved into my dream home after six straight weeks of full-time house hunting. Then decided brand trips didn’t need to be gatekept, invented one, took my best friends, and got it fully sponsored by First Aid Beauty, Typology, Fazit, Vacation, Thrive, and more. This still doesn’t feel real.

March: Bought my first designer bag and officially retired the belief that I have to earn permission to enjoy my life. I deserve to buy nice things just because I want to!

April: Got paid to host my first dinner at SXSW. Now I do this regularly but at the time it felt insane that brands were paying me just to invite my friends to eat together!

May: Had my first six-figure month. One month equaled my entire annual corporate salary. The math alone changed me (and my bank account!)

June: Froze my eggs publicly and documented the entire process online. Gave away a full egg-freezing procedure worth about $7K. Spent countless hours in my DMs helping thousands of women navigate one of the biggest decisions of their lives and decide to freeze their eggs. This one mattered the most.

July: Made the cover story of my high school magazine. It might not be Forbes, but seeing my parents’ reaction made it better than any headline ever could.

August: Could finally afford to onboard a stylist to my team. My outfits went viral, pulled millions of views, and unexpectedly changed the caliber of business opportunities coming my way. Turns out how you show up actually matters.

September: Attended New York Fashion Week for the first time and somehow ended up at the most star-studded event of the week. Met people like Bella Poarch and Taylor Momsen. Also rented a mansion and hosted a party for 400 of the top brand marketers in NYC, one of my best events to date!

October: Spoke on a stage in front of 1000 people at Female Founder World, never addressed an audience that large before!

November: Went on the first brand trip ever hosted by a tech company. Zapier made history and I got to be one of the 20 creators that was a part of it.

December: Hit 400,000 followers on Instagram. Thousands of people are now copying the triple split-screen format I created. Being imitated at scale is the ultimate compliment, and probably the most iconic thing to happen to me in 2025.

So… are you going to start posting in 2026 or what?
