Was 2025 a Brutal Year for Anyone Else? Must See Season 8 Premier!

Some years don’t just challenge you—they level you. After losing my dad and a dear friend, my body crashed, my energy evaporated, and work I love got painfully scarce. The worst part? I couldn’t name why. Steroids, sleep hacks, strict routines—nothing touched the deep, whole-body ache or the fog that made simple tasks feel like mountains. So I did the uncomfortable thing: I kept asking questions until I got real answers.

What finally clicked was a second diagnosis layered on my rheumatoid arthritis—fibromyalgia. Suddenly the relentless fatigue, unrefreshing sleep, and unpredictable pain made sense. With my doctor, I started Cymbalta and doubled down on an anti-inflammatory approach to food, cutting sugar and refined carbs and trying carnivore short-term. Within days, my mood lifted and the pain dialed down just enough to start moving forward. Not cured, but hopeful. Not sprinting, but finally walking without shame.

That’s where a new motto was born: Stack Gold Bricks In 26. Each brick stands for a pillar—health, family, faith, finances, real estate deals, learning, generosity. Big wins are big bricks. Small habits are coins. Both count. I refuse to live in all-or-nothing mode that burns you out and leaves you with nothing to show. This year I’m leaning into practical education—tight YouTube trainings, focused half-day workshops, and back-to-basics real estate strategies for lead generation, fair offers, creative exits, and disciplined follow-through. The market is noisy, but the fundamentals work when you do.

If last year bruised you too, you’re not alone. Start with one brick you can place today: book the test, ask for help, prep a low-inflammation meal, or do ten minutes of focused work. We’ll build momentum together—patiently, honestly, and on purpose. Subscribe, share this with someone who needs a lift, and leave a review to tell me your first brick for 2026. Let’s make this the year the small wins stack into something solid.

New Year, New Energy

Dwan Bent-Twyford 0:48

Hey. Happy 2026. This is my first podcast of the season, and I'm so excited to have you here. I'm Dwan Bent-Twyford, America's most sought-after real estate investor, and you are listening to the most Dwanderful real estate podcast ever. All right, so let me ask you a question. How many of you like 2025 totally sucked for you? Is there anybody that will raise a hand, admit it with me? How many of you were like so happy that 2025 was over? You were just like, my God, 2025 needs to go somewhere. It's so bad. Why is it not ending? Why is it taking so long? What is the deal with 2025? I can't wait for New Year to start something else and something new. So I kind of want to talk about that. I gotta be honest with you. For me, 2025, the whole year, it just sucked. It really uh I did a podcast where I told you guys about the rheumatoid arthritis. And fun fact, I was diagnosed with a second autoimmune disease called fibromyalgia. So that was a really fun way to end 2025 for me. Um, in the beginning of the year, it was just coming off the death of my father, and then in February, my best friend for 30 years passed away. And basically, starting around April of last year, I just started. So I see how it wants a wiggle and move. So maybe there we go. Isn't it cute though? Like, look how cute. I've lost 15 pounds. Feeling good about that. So around uh April, I started noticing I just I felt bad all the time. So I of course assumed the RA was getting worse, and I'm like, I'm gonna have to take a heavier medication. Right now I take pills. Um, all the heavier medications are things where you have to give yourself shots like methotrexate and all kinds of like crazy stuff like that. And I was like, oh man. And so they put me on steroids. I took steroids so much, I mean, just so much, and I never could get myself feeling better, like the whole year. I had a couple, I mean, I had some good days here and there and a good week here and there, but honestly, I missed most of my speaking. Uh, I did not realize until a couple days ago, I only did 25 podcasts last year. I usually I do one a week, I do 52 a year. I only did 25. And when I saw that statistic from Buzz Sprout saying, hey, you did 25 podcasts last year, I really realized like really how bad I did feel. That canceled so many. I mean, just so much. I was like, uh. So so I'm gonna share some of the things I did to try to like, you know, grab on what was left. First of all, I got my hair done. You know, for most of us girls, that a makeover, you're like, oh, I'll get a makeover. It'll make me feel better. Did not make me feel any better. It's cute though, right? Like we love it, loving the hair. Um, I started on the carnivore diet because it's supposed to help with inflammation. It gets you off of sugar and carbs. So I lost weight. I didn't do it to lose weight, I did it to help with the RA. Uh, I actually really like it. I feel I I gotta tell you one thing, within a week or two, within like a two weeks, I did notice a noticeable difference in how I was feeling. So I am all pro-carnivore. I realize you can't eat that way forever, but getting the sugar and the carbohydrates out of your system really helps with anybody that has any kind of an autoimmune disease. So I'm so that started helping. And then I'm like, you know, I'm just gonna force myself to like go for walks and work out, that'll help. And it's like, no, none. So let me just show you all the stuff I did. So I made a um a list here of uh okay, hold on. Let me just find the right one here. I made a list of like, okay, these are all the things I'm gonna do, and I'm gonna get myself organized, and I'm gonna put in when I work and what I do. And let's see, is this it? Should have looked at this before I got on here. Um, no, not there, not there. Hold on. Let me see, let me see. Bear with me for a second. Um well, I don't know. I uh can't find it right now, but anyway, I came up with a new slogan for 26, which I'm gonna tell you in a minute because it's really great. And then I thought, you know, I made myself like a really tight schedule. Like, uh, I can show you off this off my my phone. So I made myself a schedule. I said, okay, I'm gonna get up every day at 8 o'clock, and I'm gonna spend two hours on self-care, like stretching, exercising, putting heat or ice on my joints, you know, whatever I need to do. Start my workday at 11. I mean and my workday at three. I'm still gonna work a couple hours a day. That'll help me feel better. I'll relax more, I'll spend less time, you know, because recording, when you do it a lot, it can wear you out. You know, at nine o'clock, I'll get ready for bed, I'll put on a mask, I'll do this, I'll do that, I'll eat better, I'll drink more water. I got a whole list. I've got a whole list of like a hundred things. I did all that stuff for like two weeks. I was like, yeah, Leah, the list is stressing me out. The list is too much, too. So I see all these people, and you know, you do too, all these people on social media, like, oh, here's my year in review, and every picture, everyone looks freaking amazing. They had this and this party and that, but they all look great, everybody looks amazing. And I feel like sometimes that actually makes us feel worse because when I was missing three or four speaking events I didn't go to, Bill went by himself, and I missed um a couple months of podcasting, and I kept missing things, so I would look at all these people's pictures, and then of course I'm having FOMO, like everybody else, and I know other people have issues, and I just I can't get out of bed, I can't do this, I can't do that. It's like I'm losing out, I'm missing people are gonna forget me. And I'm telling you, it's just like when I started dealing with depression at the end of the year, like really bad, like September, October, November, December, like super bad depression, and just a lot, like really a lot. It so much. And so I went to my RA doctor and I started explaining. So, listen, I think I either my RA got really, and that's rheumatoid arthritis, if y'all don't know RA, rheumatoid arthritis, which is not arthritis, it's the autoimmune disease where your body attacks all your joints and your skin and all your organs, and just your body, your body goes crazy and it flips on you instead of helping you, it attacks you. So autoimmune diseases suck for everybody. And we start going through all the stuff. He's like, no, listen, it you have uh a secondary one is fibromyalgia. So, of course, I Google that, and I'm just like, oh, freaking death sentence. But it explained everything. So the good news is the RA did not get any worse. So that's the good news. The RA did not get any worse. Uh, the bad news, I have a second one of fibromyalgia. And it is just really chronic fatigue, uh, waking up and not feeling rested. I mean, I even went and did an ENT. I got a mouth guard to keep my jaw out when I snore. Like I went through everything. My my RA doctor is great. So I got a sleep apnea test, which I actually don't have, but they made me a mouth guard anyway. I have like a 4.9 on a 1 to 19, and like five or six means you have the mildest, but I have enough. You know, I still wake up in Colorado sometimes, like gasping for air. Florida, no, I'm good. But up there, yeah, sometimes. So I mean, I did that. I started sleeping better. I started using oxygen, I changed a diet. I mean, I really take the time to go through all these things, and I just couldn't get myself feeling better. And um, so at the very end of December, uh, the RA Evan is like, hey, I think that you have fibromyalgia. So I read it, and it's and honestly, I felt relieved. And and I know when you get diagnosed with something, I know a lot of people don't go to the doctor because they don't want to get diagnosed, but I want to know because if I know what is going on, I know how to fight it. So it's all the fatigue, it's feeling exhausted all the time, it's the relentless crying. I look at some of the podcasts I did in the last half of the year, and I'm talking to people, and I and I see, I mean, you you wouldn't probably notice it, but I can see myself just like just like barely, barely hanging on, trying not to cancel people because you know they booked their time for me to interview them and so on. And I even in December, we went to a speaking event. I stayed in the hotel room the entire weekend. I was so exhausted. So now I'm like, okay, got this thing, and they're like this the thing that helps the best with it, I guess, is a thing it's called Cymbolta. Cymbolta. So uh, and it's an antidepressant. And I personally am not a big fan of antidepressants. I took them about 15 years ago when I went through menopause, because you know, I lost my mind there for a minute going through menopause. It's like they need to warn you when you get a hysterectomy, like you go into menopause the next day. And I had a female doctor, didn't even tell me that that's a whole nother story. So I've been taking it for like 10 days, and I can honestly tell you in the last two days, I have noticed that mentally I feel better and I feel happier, and I feel a little bit lighter. So it's like, huh, okay. It is, you know, the 11th of January, and I haven't done my podcasts for the new year's yet. I just need to feel better. And so here I am today, and I am feeling better. So I guess what it does is it uh I don't, I don't know, so I would just say it wrong, Bobby. Something with the serotonin the dopamine, but I think the main thing that Cymbalta does is it kind of gives you like an overall relief of pain throughout your entire body. Because if I've got an algebra, like they would touch my arm, I'd be like, oh God, my arms hurt, my skin hurts. It's like, oh, don't touch me, everything hurts. And I am feeling better. Now, certainly not remotely all the way, but enough that I'm like, hey, I think I can get back to living some life again today. So I said, if you're a person that's all anti-everything, don't come for me, okay? I I I need to feel better worse than I care about your opinion. So I don't want to hear anybody, oh, you shouldn't take that stuff. Let me tell you something. If you lived in my shoes for the last year, you'd be so happy for the little bit of relief that I have right now. So uh some interesting things came out. So at the end of the year, uh so Buzz Sprout, Buzz Sprout is where I host this podcast. And they sent me a little video telling me about my accomplishments. Well, one of the first things I noticed is it says I only published 25 podcasts. So I did not realize that. So that was part of like, wow, I really, really had a rough year last year. Because it's hard to record and be like, ah, happy and cheery when you just you feel like crap. Like every time I I mean, some of some of those like podcasts I did, and I usually do some on my own. I just talked to you guys. I don't think I hardly did any of those. And the ones I did with other people, I had a heating blanket wrapped around me. I would take pain medication, and I was just like, There was even a couple of nights I was like, Lord, listen, if you want to take me while I'm sleeping, I promise you I won't be mad. Now I did not think like, oh my God, I'm gonna kill myself, but there was a couple of nights I remember just thinking, like, Lord, I know people have so much worse problems. I know people that have just so, so, so, so much worse that I won't be mad. I just won't. But, you know, I got too much on still to go. I got too many of you that I need to make into some millionaire, too much generational wealth to help people make and kids and grandkids, and I have a brand new grand baby. That was the best thing about 2025. On the 18th, um, my oldest daughter at 39 had a little cutie pie named Miss Lily. So that that was a great way to kind of end the year. But look at these statistics. Um, on Buzz Sprout, I am the in the top 25 of all the podcasters on Buzz Sprout. We had 696,000 downloads. 696,000 downloads. So I made a little video with all this. It's on Instagram at Dwanderful, if you want to check it out. And I was like, wow, even though I recorded half of what I normally record, still 698, 696,000 of you listened. I was like, oh, thank you, Lord. Even when I'm not there all the time, the people still love me. And I'm in uh 173 cities, I'm in 120 countries. And um, yeah, see, it says I did 25 podcasts in eight months. So four of the months I didn't even podcast. So I'm telling you, and you know, this year I was just, oh, and I didn't know this. 584 million people listen to podcasts. 584 million people. That's a lot. So I'm like, hey, good. Thanks, y'all. And uh yeah, so even with as crappy as I felt last year, y'all still blessed me with so many, so many, so many listens and downloads and views. I mean, 686,000 was so many. And then I, but then I'm like, wow, I only podcasted for four of the months. I really must have just been exhausted, you know. And then I only did 25 for the year, so it's like, oh, so I kind of feel a little bit like, you know, and I don't want this to sound bad. I I don't ever consider anything a failure, but a little bit on my side, because I've been podcasting seven years, I've been cranking out 50 or 60 a uh a year, I never miss, and even though I've had health issues, I've had stuff, I always kind of suck it up. But tell me, man, this was just not doable last year. So, you know, every year I have a new motto. And so listen, if you had any heavy things last year, you know what? I feel you. I I mean, I don't even know. My dad died in 24 and end of October. So I started off the year without my dad, and then my friend died, and then I kept getting sicker, and then sicker, and then sicker, and then doing less and doing less and staying home, staying home, and staying in bed. And I was just like, oh my God. And it was hard to deal with everyone. I mean, I felt like, and and the one of the things I know now about having autoimmunes is a lot of times you feel like you're letting other people down. So I did feel quite a bit like, oh, I'm I can't believe I'm only 66 and I'm freaking tapping out. And I went through a lot of stuff mentally too. Like, I'm 66, I'm vibrant, I'm young, look, I'm beautiful. Why is this happening? Why am I like so beat to death right now? So the diagnosis honestly was the best blessing for me. Uh, the medication after just a couple of weeks is actually helping me feel better. I feel much more mentally alert and together. And I kind of got my excitement back. And then, you know, I did my little makeover and all the things that you do to try to help. And then, you know, I lost some weight. And um, losing weight, I think, helps you feel better in general. I wasn't doing it to lose weight, I was just doing it to try to get the sugar and the carbohydrates out of my system because those are super inflammatory. And uh, and I feel so much better. Wow, it's like, oh. So I know I can't carnivore till the end of time, but I think I'm gonna switch between that and keto for a while because uh feeling lighter is less pressure on my joints. And without all the sugar and the carbs and the cravings, I'm sleeping better. I was able to stop taking sleeping pills already. So it's like I got some things that are like, you know, going in the right direction. My baby girl had a baby. So now we got five little, five little chitlins, and so every year, you know, I come up with a motto. So I was like 26. It's like, and 25 was like, time to thrive in 25 and do some more in 24. And I'm telling you, I was so stuck on what goes with six. I was like, tricks, I can't, I can think. I Google what rhymes with with six, and you know what rhymes with six? Bricks. So I made up, I finally came up with a new motto. We're gonna stack gold bricks in 26. So I got a bunch of gold bricks, and every gold brick is gonna count for something. Like this one, let's put this down so you can see. This one could be your money, and this one could be your health, and this one could be your family relationship. Okay, I gotta get the camera down further there. Okay, this one could be uh your real estate and bathing. This one could be your marriage, this one could be your generational wealth. We're just gonna stack gold bricks in 26. We're just gonna keep stacking bricks because honestly, I want you to associate each brick with some kind of an accomplishment. Now that being said, somedays, especially if you're any of the um autoimmune people, someday you may just have a tiny little brick. Like maybe if you're a real estate investor, maybe you worked on your business for an hour instead of a day. Give yourself a tiny break. Little bricks count too. And let's see, let me have my camera turned down here so you can see my breaks. See? Okay. There we go. Well, I can't sleep my head. That's okay. We'll do a combo. Okay. So little breaks count. So maybe you ate really good for a day. And maybe you worked out today. Give yourself a little break. The thing is, everyone has to always kind of be all or nothing. Now, all or nothing is not a good way to try to live your life. It's not good for you. I'm gonna put that back up. I got new cameras, turn some lights on. Um, it's not good for you, it's not good for anybody. It's not all the it's not all or nothing. I I spent 25 trying to be all or nothing and it doesn't work. So let's say you're working on your business and you went to the gym once instead of five times, or even you went for a walk. Give yourself a small win. Listen, little bricks are so worth lots of money. Doesn't always have to be a big giant break. Have a little break. And then, you know, something that comes along, like, hey, I got on one of Dwans webinars, I learned how to do wholesaling and I made 30 grand. Give yourself a big brick. And then sometimes it might be like I I got out of bed on time. It could be a coin. Every little thing is a win. And I am an all or nothing kind of a thinker. So I had a hard time this last year feeling uh useless. Um people were caring too much for me, too much caretaking, asking for help. I'm not good at those things. I have since decided I am going to ask for help, even from all of you. I would love it for you guys to pray for me to be healed. God's still in the business of healing and miracles, so I'm entitled to one just like everybody else. And um, so I struggled a lot mentally with all that too. Mostly like there were so many days I just sit on the couch and watch Netflix. I mean, and I'm talking like four or five days all day. Same pajamas all day. And Bill's like, Are you? You can't just get up, you can't suck it up, you can't just like, and I was like, dude, listen, if you tell me to suck it up one more time, freaking moving out. Like, I don't know what's happening. I need you to help instead of like make me feel worse about things. So as this last year ended and this year started, and I'm mentally feeling better, and you know, we're talking and we're sharing and we're saying goodbye. If you had a good 25, God bless you, God bless you, God bless you. I hope 26 is a hundred times better. If you had a crappy, then let's just we're saying goodbye. We're just getting rid of all that bad juju. So we're gonna stack gold bricks in 26. That's what we're gonna do this year, but just remember, doesn't always have to be a big win. And every brick, again, let it count for something. Like this can be your finances, and this could be your spiritual life, because you know, we all need Jesus. And this could be your kids and your family. We need that, could be your hell, this could be a little tiny something, this could be a little tiny something, like it all counts. At the end of the day, if you take all the gold and all the coins and all the big bricks and all the little bricks and you add it all up, it still adds up to something. The thing is not to do nothing, and even as bad as I felt last year, I still did 25 podcasts, I still went to, I don't know, like seven or eight two-day speaking events. Most of them I just made it through the first day, but I went. I went every place I was supposed to go in case when I got there, I felt better. But mostly I stayed in the room. So thank God I have such a great husband. I've seen all the movies, I think, at this point that are on uh Netflix or or whatever. I mean, like so much, but you know, I am uh I am feeling better, but part of feeling better is I really knew something was off. Instead of just feeling bad and feeling bad and feeling bad, I went in search of answers. And that's one thing I know a lot of people, I know people right now that have health issues. They go, I don't want to go to the doctor without wanting to get bad news. It's like, okay, but by not going to the doctor, you could find out you're dying. And if you found it out now, you could fix it and save yourself. So I am not a person like that. I want to go, I want to run all the tests, I want all the blood work done, I want to know what's happening so I can start dealing with it. Now, can I fix it? Technically not. I mean, but again, like I said before, let's don't claim our just don't claim, I don't say, I'll have RA, I'll have my personal. I don't claim anything. The Bible clearly says speak things into existence as if they already are. So every day I say, thank you for healing me. Thank you, I'm healed, thank you. This disease has left my body. I say it every day. Now, mentally, a lot of days I'm just like, I said it out loud, but don't believe it. But but your body hears you say that too. So you really have to just speak positivity over yourself all the time. You really do. However, as much as I tried to do things, I you know, at the end I was like, hey, I guess, you know, 680-something downloads. Like, really, honestly, thank you guys. I just I started crying when I saw how many downloads I had compared to how few podcasts I did. So I really appreciate you more than you know. And like I said, a new baby, and you know, everyone's great. And it's just there's always something good. And when I was feeling super depressed there towards the end of the year, you know, no matter what happened, I would just be, you know, the negative, the negative, the negative, the negative thoughts really can't take you over. And I am a very positive person. I mean, like, really, like sometimes I'm overly positive, but I'm a really positive person. And as much as I struggled, I don't know how some other people do it. Because I know people that are just naturally kind of negative and whiny and grumpy. And it's like, I don't know how people like that get through. First of all, you need Jesus. So actually, do I have it in here? Oh, I didn't. I I bought a bunch of little tiny Jesus. Hold on, let me see. I thought I brought it in here. Yeah, I do. Okay, I put this on my podcast table. Everybody needs a little Jesus. So I bought these on TikTok, and everywhere I go, I I give these out. So this is a little, and I say everybody needs a little Jesus, because we all do. So I give these out. I leave them everywhere, I leave them at the doctors, I leave them in the grocery stores. Um, I poke a tiny little hole in the diaper bags and put one in there. So if like a single mom, like I used to be, opens up the diapers and she's having a tough time and she's crying, and money's been an issue. She sees a little Jesus, she'll take it for a sign. So now I have one, uh, I carry them in my purse, and I see people out and about, and I can tell they're struggling. I just walk up and say, Hey, could I give you something? And they're just like, I give them one of these, and he'd be surprised how much it lights up people's faces. So get yourself a little Jesus. Keep them on your keep them on your computer there because everybody needs that too. So we're gonna focus on 26. We're going to we're gonna just stack gold bricks in 26. And you may have a few bricks that fall off because something didn't work, and this one is you thought was gonna be this big of a deal, and it's only that big of a deal. You know what? That's still better than no deal, or something falls apart, or you find out your spouse is on Tinder, like, oh, but you know what? Start over and dud your own bricks. So I've been watching too much TikTok, let me tell you. Oh, so whoop, what I'm finding about all these people like catching their spouses. It's like, what is happening to the world right now? Good lord. So we're just gonna keep stacking gold bricks. We're gonna keep stacking them, and every gold brick's gonna account for something, everyone's gonna mean something. Again, we're gonna celebrate our little wins, even a little win. You know how much a gold coin is worth? Just a little one. They're like, what's gold, like 4,000 an ounce or something right now? So it all counts. Little wins, big wins, smidgen wins, giant wins. All the wins count. The thing is, at the end of the year, as time is going by, just start learning how to celebrate the small wins. I'm always like, I have to have everything. I even have like a money bag. I went and bought a money bag full of tiny bricks, and I got a money bag full of gold. So even if you need to get yourself some money bags, just do it for fun. I am a person that celebrates big wins normally because that's just how my mind is wired. So this year I started to realize by the time like October came around, like something was like seriously wrong with me. So I would just be excited if I got up and took a shower. And then I'd be like, hey, I put on some makeup today. Look at me. I feel excited about that. I feel excited if the grandkids came over and I was able to play with them for two days and not have to go lay down half of the time underneath the heating blanket. So I did start teaching myself to celebrate smaller wins, which is new to me because I am a big picture thinking person. But I also know that if you only celebrate giant wins, when something small happens that's exciting, you won't enjoy it. So I even like went to one of my grandkids' choir concert. And I was like, hey, you know what? I'm able and happy that my grandkids live close enough to me that I can go to the choir concert and I can sit in the audience and I can be the cool pink-haired grandma, and I can be a part of it because you know, a lot of people are in strange, estranged from their families. They don't have grandkids or they don't have this, they don't have that, or or whatever, or they're already dead, you know, grandkids will have any grandparents. And I was just like, Oh, well, you know what? I'm excited that I can even be here. Bill and I are there, obviously the coolest people in the room. Everyone comes over and talks with us, oh my gosh, you're the Twifer's grandparents. And then, um, so my son has four kids. So Ari's uh 10, the little one, Winston, is four. So she's up doing her thing. Uh, she and Della, who's nine, and Winston or Ben, who's six, they're all up there doing their singing, like so cute. And I was like, wow, you know, it's really great. My kids used to come here, they're going to the same school my kids went to. It's fun to be back in the choir concert room. Like, this is so exciting. And then I looked over at Winston, who's only three. Well, he was three. No, four, he's four. And I looked at him and my mind started doing some math. I said, Oh my gosh, to come to his final choir concert, I'm gonna have to live to be eighty years old. I'm gonna have to be 81 years old. So I was like, oh, the way I feel, Lord, please don't let me live to be 81. I can't live like that for that many more years. You can't let that happen to me. So I took this perfectly good evening and then I started doing the math, and I was like, oh, but if I was kidding to be 81 and be healthy and happy and amazing, I'd want to. And do I want to live that way in pain and stuff? No, but I still want to live. So I just have to figure it out. And that's what I'm doing. And y'all are gonna listen to me all year, and you're gonna help me and be with me and pray with me, and we're gonna figure it out. Yeah, so then I was just like, oh my god, Bill, do you know how long? 81. Do you know how many more years that is of just all this pain, all stuff? I can't do it. But now I'm like, you know what? I can't do it. I'm gonna do it. I'm just gonna make myself do it. I just talked to myself a lot. I've been praying a lot more. Singing actually a lot of praise and worship has really helped me, singing, uh, like some of the old hymns, like way back from like my grandma. And that has really helped a lot. And the symbols has um helped a lot. I've only got a week, you know, 10 days on it, but I do feel difference. So, you know what? I'm just gonna keep planning my life. I'm gonna keep moving forward. I'm gonna ask all of you, let's just keep moving forward together. And let's celebrate the small wins, let's celebrate the medium wins, let's celebrate the big wins, and let's just make it not all about money. You know, your health, that what's that old saying? I don't know it exactly, but you'll know the gist of it. It's like you spend all your health gaining wealth, and then when you get your wealth, you spend all your wealth getting your health. I am a true testament to that. My 20s and 30s, I abused my body terribly, just so many drugs. So bad. Now I'm in my 60s. It's like, oh, I wonder if that is what's causing this. I don't know, but I don't like feeling like this. And so, you know what? Let's treat our bodies a little bit more like a temple. I have been really good about that lately. And let's just, you know, celebrate everything together. We got 2026 ahead of us. We're gonna be stacking go bricks, big, small, little. I've got some really good uh half-a-day workshops coming up, and I've got some great webinars coming up, and I'm really gonna focus heavy on educating you this year. I had a lot of guests. Well, I can't say a lot of guests. I only had 25 guests last year. Uh, but most of the time I have 30 or 40 guests, and then I do a few podcasts myself. I'm gonna do more myself, and I'm gonna uh do lots and lots of YouTube videos for you guys to be able to go to YouTube, do about 10-minute training videos. I really want to help everyone turn things around. I feel like some people are still kind of struggling financially off of COVID, even foreclosures are still a little bit higher than they normally are. Uh, I don't know, people are talking about the markets, this and that. I, you know, I don't listen to any of that stuff. I'm just gonna teach you like to stick to the five basic things, which we'll cover in the next show. And we're gonna stick to the five basic things and we're gonna move forward in 26, and we're gonna have a really great year. You're gonna be with me and follow and like and subscribe, and let's see if we can't get a million listens, a million download. That would be something else, wouldn't it? So let's just do that. So just remember to follow me at dwonderful.com. I took my name Dwan and Wonderful, and I made a new word, Duanderful D-W-A-N-D-E-R-F-U-L, Dwonderful.com, Instagram, Facebook. Oh, and I even went and got the nails put back on the gel stuff. I always don't like that. I was like, you know what? I better do my nails, I'm gonna do my hair, I'm gonna really just I'm gonna force myself to feel better. No, none of it helped. I mean, I look better, but none of it helped me feel better. What helped me feel better was the nutrition and the medication, and of course, God's helping me. So let's just really focus on 26. Let's make it a good year. Let's focus on lots of things, and every little thing counts. Everything counts. You're gonna have a great year. I'm gonna have a great year. We're gonna have a great year together. So I'll see you next week. Same that time, same bat channel. And remember that the truth is in the red letter. All right, everybody. Ciao.
