In this episode, I share a recent decision that made me feel physically uncomfortable — investing in a mastermind for my business. As a working mom and primary provider, decisions about money are never just about the money. They come with responsibility, trade-offs, and doubt. But this decision brought up something deeper.

Recording this on the last day of 2025, I'm sharing what came up for me while facilitating my Create 2026 workshop. It's probably not what you expect from a typical year-end review episode.
