Step Into Boldness: A Crone’s Call to Action for 2025

Welcoming 2025 with Boldness

Welcome to 2025—a year of possibility, growth, and transformation. As we step into this new chapter, I invite you to pause and reflect. What will this year mean for you? What would it look like to embrace your boldest, truest self?

Introducing Your Word

For me, 2025 is about being BOLD. Not just bold in action, but bold in mindset, bold in love, and bold in trusting the divine guidance that has brought me here. To me, boldness means:

• Being: Staying true to myself and grounded in my values.
• Openly: Showing up authentically in every space I enter.
• Led: Allowing my intuition and purpose to guide me.
• Divinely: Trusting the higher plan for my life and my work.

What about you? Have you chosen a word for 2025? If not, I encourage you to take a moment. What word resonates with your desires, your goals, or your journey this year? It could be a guiding light to keep you aligned, focused, and inspired.

Before we dive into what’s ahead, let’s take a moment to reflect on what we’ve achieved and learned in 2024. Because as bold as the future may be, it’s the lessons from our past that prepare us to step into it with confidence.

Lessons from 2024: Visibility and the Power of Showing Up

2024 was a year of growth, challenge, and, most importantly, visibility—my guiding word for the year. Choosing visibility meant stepping into spaces that required courage and commitment, sharing my message boldly, and embracing the opportunities that came my way. It was a year of learning and showing up, not just for others, but for myself.

Achievements of 2024

Here’s a look back at the milestones that defined my year of visibility:

• ?? Podcasts and Summits: Sharing my voice and story across platforms, connecting with diverse audiences, and leaving an impact.
• ?? Two Published Books: Expanding my reach with written work that resonates deeply with readers.
• ?? Growing My Community: Welcoming new faces to my newsletter family—surpassing 500 subscribers!
• ?? Weekly Videos: Consistently showing up to share insights, encouragement, and actionable tips.
• ?? Networking and Collaboration: Building relationships through networking groups, both virtual and in-person.
• ?? Transformational Masterclasses: Leading two powerful sessions as part of the Get Your Sexy Back and Beyond series—Reclaim Your Confidence, Sensuality, and Power and Self-Worth: The Foundation of Your Life—that created moments of clarity and empowerment for participants.

Lessons Learned

While the achievements are meaningful, the lessons are what truly defined 2024. Visibility wasn’t always easy—it required facing fears, being vulnerable, and learning to trust my voice. Some key takeaways:

• The power of consistency: Small, consistent actions create big momentum.
• The courage to say no: Visibility doesn’t mean saying yes to everything; it means being intentional about where you show up.
• The importance of community: None of this would be possible without the incredible people—like you—who engage, support, and encourage me.

Visibility prepared me for what’s next. It showed me that stepping into the light isn’t just about being seen—it’s about being seen as I am. And now, in 2025, I’m ready to take that visibility and amplify it with boldness.

Take a moment to reflect on your 2024. What word guided you? What milestones are you proud of? What lessons will you carry forward into this new year?

A Personal Revelation: New Year’s Eve Awakening

As 2024 came to a close, I found myself reflecting on not just the year but on the deeper lessons life was revealing to me. A conversation over the Christmas break sparked something unexpected. It began with a comment—a suggestion that I had an “it’s all about me” mentality—‘...you love being the centre of attention’. At first, I felt defensive and even hurt. How could someone perceive me this way when I’ve always seen myself as someone who put others first, supporting leaders by following their vision and clarifying their messages for others? Now, as I embrace my role as a leader, I realise how much of that narrative I’ve rewritten.

The example given—my past birthday celebrations—only deepened my confusion. These were milestones I’d chosen to celebrate, yes, but celebrations I’d planned, funded, and organised, always prioritising the enjoyment of others. Still, the comment lingered, and I began questioning not just my friendships, but myself. Was I too focused on others’ approval? Did I diminish my own needs for the sake of being liked?

Then came New Year’s Eve—a moment meant for connection and renewal. I attended a two-day celebration with this same friend, ready to welcome 2025 with joy. But as the clock neared midnight, her boyfriend arrived, and I was unexpectedly left on the sidelines. It was a moment of abandonment that could have ruined the night, but instead, it became a turning point.

A Moment of Awakening

Earlier that evening, we’d met four vibrant women from Cardiff, whose kindness and warmth transformed what could have been a lonely midnight into a celebration of community and sisterhood. That night, I realised something profound, the truth I thought I knew sank in with new clarity:

• Self-love isn’t selfish. I deserve to celebrate myself without guilt or explanation.
• Boundaries are necessary. True friendships respect and honour your presence, not just when it’s convenient.
• Forgiveness is freeing. Holding onto resentment only dims your light; letting go makes room for joy.

Reclaiming My Centre

This final lesson of 2024 wasn’t just about relationships—it was about me. It was a reminder to be bold in valuing myself, bold in setting boundaries, and bold in embracing the love and respect I deserve. As I step into 2025, I do so with clarity: It’s not about being the centre of attention—it’s about being at the centre of my own life.

What lessons did 2024 leave you with? What relationships or moments made you question, reflect, or grow? Sometimes, the hardest experiences are the ones that teach us the most.

Turning Reflection Into Bold Action

Reflection without action is like a seed left unplanted—it holds potential but doesn’t lead to growth. The lessons of 2024 taught me to value myself, set boundaries, and embrace self-love. But the real transformation comes when we take bold, courageous steps forward.

A Bold Step: Investing in You

Growth isn’t easy—it requires intention, vulnerability, and sometimes discomfort. To honour yourself, you must be willing to:

• Say yes to opportunities that scare you but excite your soul.
• Say no to anything that drains your energy or no longer serves you.
• Invest in your growth—your time, energy, financial resources, and willingness to ask for support are all part of the process.

This is where I want to meet you. My work—whether through masterclasses, coaching, or resources—exists to guide women like you on your journey to self-worth, confidence, and empowerment. But transformation can only happen when you’re ready to take action, to invest in yourself, and to embrace the bold, beautiful life you deserve.

• Ask Yourself: What’s stopping you from taking the next step? Fear? Doubt? Time?
• Challenge Yourself: What would your life look like if you chose courage over hesitation, action over waiting?

Courage isn’t just about making big leaps; it’s about the small, consistent steps that align you with your values and goals. Whether it’s carving out time for yourself, pursuing a long-held dream, or finally saying no to the things holding you back, every act of courage builds momentum for your transformation.

This is your call to action: What’s one bold step you’ll take this month to honour your growth?

You Don’t Need a “New You”—Just Bold Belief in Yourself

Every January, the phrase “New Year, New Me” pops up like clockwork. But what if I told you that you don’t need to become a “new” version of yourself to grow? You’re not a blank slate or a work in progress—you’re already whole, already worthy. The key isn’t reinvention; it’s rediscovery.

Rather than striving to be someone else, what if you embraced who you already are? The real you doesn’t need fixing—it needs nurturing, celebrating, and faith. Growth isn’t about becoming; it’s about allowing your true self to shine brighter.

• You don’t need to erase the challenges you’ve faced—they’ve shaped your resilience.
• You don’t need to “fix” your flaws—they’re part of your humanity.
• You don’t need to chase perfection—it’s a moving target.

This year, I challenge you to step into the boldness of embracing your authentic self. That means:

• Taking time to celebrate your wins—big or small.
• Setting boundaries that protect your energy and peace.
• Saying yes to things that light you up and no to what doesn’t align.

It’s not about becoming someone different; it’s about having the courage to live unapologetically as yourself.

What’s one thing you already love about yourself that you’ll honour in 2025?

This is your time to step forward—not as a “new” you, but as the bold, confident person you’ve always been. Let’s talk about how we can make 2025 your year of unapologetic growth.
