Hey

It’s the start of a new month and it’s wild to me that we’re already in March! It still feels like just last weekend I was sitting with friends, at the turn of the new year, designing my 2026 vision board.

There are so many things happening in my neck of the woods. I wanted a way to candidly share with you, my inner email circle, so I’ve decided to start a monthly newsletter called “The Inside Scoop”

How the Year Started

At the start of the year, I was so excited for what I felt 2026 had in store. I really saw God's faithfulness all through 2025 and I really felt energized to walk with him to serve you in this new year.

January and February were a tough months of grinding to build my latest product offer, the “Brandprint Visibility Accelerator”. My new 3-month, group coaching programme. It was a period of designing curriculum, preparing content as well as recording and re-recording the many videos, worksheets and support materials to build it out.

I was really stretched me mentally and physically. I’m so proud of myself for having completed this product design and buildout. It’s truly a high quality product and I’m excited for people to access it, enjoy it and most of all, use it to transform their lives.

Challenges in the Joy

As much as I was building something new, I also found myself facing the demise of a 6-year working relationship and friendship in a way I never anticipated. If I’m being honest, I’m still not sure why it happened.

As someone who always wants to repair relationships, I had to reconcile with the fact that some fixes need more time than others and some fixes may never actually happen. Despite my disappointment in this situation, I realised that it needed to happen for me to have more time to walk in my purpose. Maybe one day the friendship can be restored.

Investing in Myself

A big decision I took at the end on 2025 was to invest in my development. I finally started working with a coach, and let me tell you, it’s exactly what I needed to bring everything that I do together to launch strongly in 2026.

If you can picture a puzzle, where you have all the pieces on a board. You’ve built out all the corners; you just need one or two key pieces to be figured out to unlock the whole picture. This is exactly what coaching has done for me. It took all the things I got correct and reordered them for max impact! I’m truly happy that I made the decision to invest in myself.

Celebrating in March

As we head into March, I’m excited because this month is a milestone month for me. It’s the month I launched my first product and book, the Brandprint, back in 2020, in the midst of the global pandemic. Can you believe my book turns 6 years old this month! Wow!

March was the month I launched my hair business in 2024 after my cancer diagnosis. It was in March of last year that I hosted my first in person workshop, Create Your Brandprint, where I debuted my dateless personal brand planners Your Brandprint Year. Now, in 2026, I’m hosting my first cohort of the Brandprint Visibility Accelerator. Not to mention, it’s the international month of women, when we celebrate International Women’s Day (IWD)!

As we head into a new month, I want you to keep the IWD theme in mind “give to gain”. You can never reach to great heights on your own. You need support and you need to give of yourself to gain for yourself. Life is synergistic at every level.

If you’ve read this far, thanks for sticking with me. Until next month
