What if 2026 Really Could be Different?
🎧🎧 Listen to Sunday Sunshine HERE 🎧🎧
There has always been a part of me that knew my life would be shaped by big, audacious dreams.
Not because I had a clear plan.
Not because I knew how.
But because my mother told me, for as long as I can remember:
“Christina, you write your own life script.”
Maybe you know that feeling, too. That sense that something bigger is meant for you, even if you can’t fully name it yet.
For years, I've been chasing that "something bigger" - growing, stretching, creating - feeling I was on the brink of a fuller expression of who I am and what I'm here to do.
Most people never set big, audacious goals for one of three reasons:
We are afraid to feel a feeling we don't want to feel: Fear. Disappointment. Failure. So we set smaller goals that don’t stretch us… and don’t change us.
We are afraid of the judgement of others. “What will they think if I fall short?”
“What if they think I'm full of myself?" “What if my dream makes someone uncomfortable?”We don't know how. Instead of trusting ourselves to figure it out, we shrink the dream to match our current capacity.
This goal aversion plagues many of you - and me. What I've learned along the way:
You don’t need to know how. You need to know yourself.
For years, I’ve been doing one thing consistently with clients—from CEOs to founders to women on the edge of reinvention:
I help people see what they can’t see.
And I help them see what they can see more clearly.
I help them feel safe enough to imagine again.
Safe enough to believe in a future version of themselves they’ve never met—but deeply desire. This work often begins by slowing down long enough to examine the beliefs driving our ambition, especially for those seeking true success beyond constant striving.
You can change your life simply by pausing long enough to ask: Who do I want to become next?
Self-awareness is one of our greatest superpowers. Imagination is the other. When leveraged together, it's a proven flywheel to growth, improvement, and personal success.
I call this powerful combination Human A-I™ — where 'A-I' isn't technology or automation, but the core of our humanness: When Awareness meets Imagination.
When you operate from both awareness and imagination, Monday mornings feel different.
You wake up not with dread but with quiet certainty. Problems become puzzles you're equipped to solve. That promotion, that pivot, that impossible dream? It transforms from a distant maybe into an inevitable next step. You stop asking "How?" and start trusting "I'll figure it out."
It's led to creating something new. Something that can shift the trajectory of a year.
The Human A-I™ Index is a five-minute assessment designed to help you learn something new about yourself—before you set a single 2026 goal.
It’s just 10 questions.
Ten questions that reveal where you currently fall across two transformative dimensions:
Awareness — how clearly you see your patterns, beliefs, and inner narrative.
Imagination — how boldly you envision, architect, and pursue the future you want.
You’ll get a short report showing which zone you're operating in—and what that means for the possibilities ahead of you.
My life has changed over and over again from a single new thought, one new perspective, one new understanding of myself. One new possibility.
Yours can too.
Every year, we tell ourselves 'next year will be different.' But nothing changes until we do. This is your chance to enter 2026 with clarity instead of hope alone.
I’m working to get 200 people to take the Human A-I™ Index before the end of the year. The data will help leaders, teams, and individuals understand what's truly holding them back.
I'd also be grateful if you would tell me what you think.
The assessment takes 5 minutes. The clarity could be what changes everything for you.
Laura, you have been part of my flywheel - the readers who read every week and send me notes of support. Thank you for being on my journey. I’m so very grateful.
Your feedback will shape the next iteration of this work.
With so much belief in your impossible possibilities,
Christina
