iza,

I didn’t hit my 2 biggest goals for the year.

(Finalize my divorce and hit $10M in revenue).

Divorce is almost done and I did a little over $8M this year, so we are close!!!

But what an incredible year it was, anyway!!!!

I am most proud of: Keeping my commitment to not date until my divorce is finalized.

The longer this drags on, the more my heart longs to be in a relationship again.

But I know how important it is to

A: keep my word to myself & God and
B: do things in the right order, out of integrity.

Most “out of my comfort zone” moment: speaking on stage several times towards the end of the year.

Especially the one where I was in front of 1,000 people.

I’m booking lots of speaking gigs in 2026 and I’m excited!

Biggest regret: not giving away enough money.

I did make quite a few charitable contributions this year so don’t worry, I’m not a Scrooge.

But still, in 2026 I want to systemize my giving so it happens every day.

I LOVE giving away money, it is very meaningful.

Proudest business moment: throwing my first-ever event and having it go so well.

It was SO lovely to meet everyone in person and spend that time together.

We are going to have several small workshops AND another big event in October and I cannot wait.

Most treasured moment: every beach day I spent with Ellie.

We go to the beach almost every single day and I just love it so so so much.

I think I will have to live near the beach for her entire childhood because we go SO much.

The sound of the waves calms any stressors and we always bring fun craft projects or toys to play with! I love it!!

Biggest focus for 2026: launch 50 products!!!

What is YOUR proudest moment of 2025? I’d genuinely love to read yours, please reply!!!

Here’s to a great year!!!

Love,

Maria
