2026 Intentions

Are you tired of setting New Year’s resolutions that leave you feeling overwhelmed, behind, or like you’ve already failed by February? Same.

In this episode, Erica shares a new approach to goal setting in 2026—one that prioritizes alignment, self-trust, and emotional sustainability over hustle culture and unrealistic expectations. Instead of forcing goals that don’t fit your real life, this conversation explores how to set intentions that actually support your growth, creativity, and mental health—especially in midlife.

If you’re navigating change, chasing creative dreams later in life, or simply craving a softer, more honest way to move forward, this episode is for you.

✨ In this episode, we talk about:

Why traditional New Year’s resolutions often fail

How to set goals that feel supportive instead of stressful

Setting intentions that align with your nervous system, not just your ambition

This is your reminder that you’re not behind—and you don’t need to become a different person to create the life you want in 2026. You just need a new relationship with goals.

🎧 Listen, reflect, and take what resonates.

Welcome to episode eight. Today we're gonna talk about our goals we set cause the new year is here and do you have goals? I don't know if I can make them or keep them. I don't know what I'm doing just singing a song for you, but welcome to my podcast. My name is Erica and I'm here to chat, but I don't know how this song will end, so I'll say welcome to midlife crisis. No, I'm just following my doolo dreams.

SPEAKER_01 0:43

Oh my god, how embarrassing. But that was so cringy, but I love it. I love it. Okay, so welcome to episode H H H episode H, episode eight of Midlife Crisis. Oh sorry, it's a midlife crisis. Nope, just smiley my Delula dreams. I'm your host, Erica Hernandez, and I just sang you a very, very beautiful and original song. Um that probably made no sense, but that's fine. I put up a little on a little lip gloss for you guys so we have some shine and I'm wearing the same stuff you saw me in in episode seven because technically um no time has passed over here in recording time. Um, but today I wanted to talk about how I am approaching 2026. I um the word goals and resolutions are triggering, right? Like they're triggering for everybody. And there's some things that I grabbed um from a podcast that I listened to. Uh it's a the Gabby Bernstein podcast. I don't know what it's called. Gabby Bernstein has a podcast. I don't know what it's called. I listen to it pretty regularly. Uh, she had some tips, so I'm just sharing like the first few things that I liked about it, but then this girl on on Instagram, she might be on TikTok. Let me see what her username was. She was talking about like three ways to set your goals. So I want to use the Gabby Bernstein part to help me with how to set the the goals. Um, and she called it this girl on Instagram, she called it goals for your like your best life ever or to have the best year ever, which I don't like using because that means like okay, the year of 2026 is gonna be the best year of my life, and everything after that's gonna suck. Like, no, I just want every year to get better and better. So it's just like how to have a great year, you know, it doesn't have to be the best year ever, it just has to be like an awesome year, a year you love. Um, and I want more of just doing things and having a happy year. So this user did her name pop up, okay. It's at Taylor uh rogue. So Taylor spelled like Taylor Swift, and then her last name is R O K E S. She posted this, it came in on my feed on December 27th, 2025. I don't know if that's when she posted it. That's just like when I saved it onto my phone. Um, so let's start off with the Gabby Bernstein part of this podcast. Um, so one of the things she mentioned, which rings so true to me, is that resolutions usually fail because they come from a place of ego. So they come from a place where you're trying to fix yourself and a place of not feeling enough and not feeling worthiness. So a lot of people are like, okay, I want to lose weight because if I was like 20 pounds skinnier, I would get all the men and da-da-da-da-da. Um, which I've come from that. Or like I did last year, for example, is like, okay, I have goals to like go auditions and do all this stuff and get my headshots because I just want to like get out of my job because I don't like my job and I need to get out of there. And it came from a big place of like scarcity and a big place of like running away from what I don't want instead of running towards what I do want. See how that energy is different? Like, okay, I'm doing this to get like to get away from this, and it comes from scarcity instead of going towards this, where that where that energy is more of like the expansive, loving, creative, abundant energy. Ah, mainly that's what it is. So here are the things uh she asks, which is I think just three things. Yeah, it's just three things that she um asks in her steps, which um you do a little reflection on 2025, and then but how how 2025 will affect your 2026 because it's all compounded, it's all compounded, bye bye. Okay, so number one was where did I feel the most aligned and joyful in this past year? So where I felt more aligned and joyful was um when I was out and about with my friends, with my new friends, like like just out and about doing things with people. Um like um, is there a specific thing that I was like, oh my god, I really, really love this. Um this was gonna surprise me. This is surprising me, but I think one of the moments I felt really joyful recently has been working catering shifts. Um, and there's specific people that I work with that just bring so much joy into my life. Like they just have a positive attitude, they laugh at my jokes, and like um we worked, I worked this really, really small um event. This lady um did like a woman's luncheon with her friends and family, and it was really cute. And it was only three of us, but one of the girls um who I've recently like we're starting to get pretty close. Oh, my I moved my I moved my laptop. Um, we're starting to get really close, but like the worker, uh not the workers, the the guests there were like, wow, it looks like you guys really like each other and our friends, and we're like, yeah, no, we really like each other's company. And me and that girl, like, like every time we talk, it's just pure joy. Like she likes being around me, I like being around her. And there's other people that I'm starting to form friendships with in catering that I really, really like, and it's just a really fun environment. I always tell people that like I I just like yeah, I work catering because it's nice to have the extra money. I'm paying off some credit card debt, but I really, really do love working it because it's like it's like physical work and it can be hard physical work, but it's like no mental work, it's just like fun, and then I meet people, and some people are in the industry, some are not, but I I'm meeting friends that are in LA that may that are artists and have other aspirations because no one that's working catering, or mostly everyone that's working catering, no one really is like, I want to do this for life. Some people do, some people do want to start their own company, which is cool. Um, but some people have other stuff going on as well, so I really, really like that. And plus, you're like at a party, everyone's having a good time. It's not like waiting tables at a restaurant, not at all, not at all. Um, pretty much you're like, you know, you're gonna make this much an hour, you know, like it's it's it's super relaxed. Some some people get a little stressed out, not me. Um, but I do, I do love, I do love the the catering environment and I love going to to it. And one of the things that I am learning, and I told my coach this was like catering is really showing me that you could have fun while making money and have fun while working hard because for the longest time, and I used to do catering in my 20s, but ever since I like moved back home and like was just working corporate America, and my brain was like, in order to make money, you have to be miserable, you have to have a shitty job, you have to like not like your job, and the fact that like I get excited when a catering ship comes comes up, uh um is really changing my perspective of like you could have fun and make money, and that's gonna translate into making money off of performing and acting and all that. So I I do want to do more of of that. Um, and obviously more performing more performing um uh improv stuff, doing more improv and and all that. Okay, so that's where I felt felt uh more like aligned and joyful. Um where did I feel the most resistant and out of back? Definitely doing social media. We've heard I talked about this in the last episode. It just did not feel aligned anymore. It was just like frustrating, also like it being on the apps and going to to uh speed dating events, like they all served its purpose. I met some great people and made some friends off of going to single events, but um I'm like just done with speed dating events, I'm done with um with forcing a relationship because I just feel like it just it doesn't align. Um I just hate the people I match with on edge. Like I'm just like, oh, if we only had a brain. Um it just it just it just feels so just uh out of whack. And then also just um creating reels for Instagram as of right now, like short form content is not where I'm getting pulled to, so I'm getting pulled to podcasts and do like more long form and and being in person, so like definitely like just resistant out of whack is like growing a social media. I don't really care about that anymore. Um, yeah, I want to grow this podcast, but if it's just two of you listening, hi. Hi, you guys are my biggest fan. I love you guys. Um, okay, so that okay, that that was number three and number, sorry, that was number two, and number three was um, what do you want to feel more of or experience more of in 2026? So what I just want to experience more of is just more joy, more love. Um, and just like just this like I can't even explain this feeling, but when I did my class show um for my improv class when I did the performance, there was this rush I felt right after I did my scene. Um, and actually right when I started my scene, I felt this like there was this massive energy. And I think it was the energy, and as I and it's coming to me as I'm speaking right now, but it was that energy I had between the audience, my audience, and giving like really giving my gift to the world, giving my gift of performing to the world and being in this comedic and prophecy to the world. And so I think that's what I that is really that feeling is that exchange of energy. Like I'm here gifting you my my my comedic my comedic performance and you're ex you're giving me your laughter and your time and so it's like that exchange. Um, and it's having starting to fall in love with life performance. I used to be really scared, I used to be really shy as a kid, and because I grew up, um because I grew up being told that someone like me shouldn't shouldn't do that, and um there was like always something wrong with me. I was like Mexican or I was too fat or I was this and I just it was all this not enoughness that I was so scared to be in front of people, I was scared to talk in front of people, and now I don't I don't have that fear. I do have a like I mentioned in in the last episode, like I do have the like when I did the class performance, I was nervous and then it went away. Um and so that and so now I'm learning to really love performing and performing in front of strangers because sometimes I get like this is a safety net, right? Recording into a camera, knowing that maybe like three people are gonna watch this YouTube video, and maybe like five are listening on on Apple gives me a safety net because I was like, okay, I could really be myself. Or when I was in Santa Cruz and did improv, it's like, oh, it's the same group of like 20, 30 people, like I feel safe. But now I'm starting to expand that and being able to perform in front of larger audience and strangers, and then also just like not like learning to perform, but loving to perform, and that's what I want to experience more of is that love of performing. Um, and then on top of that, just feeling just like the fun and feeling this security. Um, I don't want to get too into it, but there was something that happened, a good thing that happened. It was a really good thing. But the way I felt after that was like really magical, and there was this like sense of security and just knowing that like things were going to be okay, and that like my my luck was turning over in the certain aspect of my life, and it was this very loving, abundant, expansive feeling, and I can't I can't even describe it. Um, but you know, as as that as that that thing kind of grows, I'll let you guys know. But it was it was pretty cool. Like I came home and I was like, wow, thank you, universe. More of that, please. And and like just had this like very in my gut, I was just like, I'm gonna be alright. It's gonna be alright. Like, I'm gonna experience more of this and it's gonna get better. And I can't wait for that. I just I I like just no, like I literally cannot wait for that. Um I said I wasn't gonna say a lot, but it is around my love life, and so like at an exchange with the person that felt very, very uh good. Um, and if it's not that person, it's fine, but like what I sense is that like I'm gonna have more of those interactions with either that person or somebody else. Um, so it feels very, very, very good. Um, so that's what I want to experience more of. It's like that that flirty energy. Um my god, guys. Oh my god. This I'm just like I'm just having revelations after revelations because I talk about this with my coach all the time. My like career life and my my performance life, my my artistic life is like very much parallel or exactly the same as my love life. It's like so exactly the same because as soon as I like um uh I was like, oh my god, I lost my train of thought, but like um like you know, talking about that exchange of energy with with the audience, right? Like that love exchange. It's a love exchange, right? Like, like I love performing and people love like I don't not necessarily they love me, they love watching me perform, but they love watching like improv performances or they love watching live performances, right? Um I'm just a mere puppet in in that, but um that like performance exchange of energy, right? That love of performance um and that exchange of energy that you have with the audience is kind of this like flirtatious energy. And I'm seeing that in in my improv um life, right? My performer, my performer life, my performer com comedy life, and then seeing this like exchange I had with a specific person in more of a romantic setting. It's like the same thing, it's basically the same thing. It's like this flirtatious love energy for both. It's just different, right? It's a different level of that, but it's like basically the same. Basically the same. Oh my god. Oh my god, that's why I gotta do more of it. I gotta do more in-person stuff because that's how um my my meat cute's gonna happen. Okay, so now that I have those three things out of the way, there was something on Instagram I saw. So that was that Taylor person's um Instagram handle that I shared earlier in the episode. Um, she talked about three things to do to have like uh the best year ever is what she called it. But I'm just I'm just saying to have an freaking amazing year. Like three actions, she called this three actionable steps to have a great year, to have an amazing year. Okay, so number one, she said to have a Masogee, a Masogee goal. So a Masogee goal is a year-defining event. So for some of you, this may look like a bucket list trip. Um, it may also look like okay, you signed up for a triathlon or a marathon. Um maybe one of you one like for some of you is like starting a podcast or taking, you know, starting the day. I don't know, whatever it is, skies your limit. It's a it's a year-defining event. So for me, and I wasn't gonna share this, but I I thought I would share. I think I should share, and let's see what happens up then in the 2026. I think I think sharing is caring, but for me, my Masogee is auditioned for an improv troupe. Um preferably at the UCB, but if it's somewhere else, like if another opportunity comes comes through, and I like the energy of the troupe, audition for them too. But so definitely my goal is to audition. Um, I know for UCB, I was looking at it recently. You have to be, um, I think you have to complete uh 301 and be enrolled in 401, not complete 401 though. But um, so I have it's it's a ways to go before I'm able to audition, at least for UCB. But if something comes up sooner and I could audition or be part of a a troop, I'm here for it. I'm here for it, man, because let me tell you, when I went back home, um I was only able to take one improv class, which I'm kind of sad about. But um I performed with my friend Brian. And man, when we perform, I have so much fun with him. We did um sentences out of a hat or in out of a bucket, and like he he's so good at improv, he's so good at like setting the stage that I I just write his coattails and I'm able to play off him really well. And he was one of the first people I remember when I I first took that class, I was like, wow, he's so good. And then he ended up like always wanting to perform with me. And like anytime I go visit, like we don't always sit next to each other because I think all of us have like our preferred seats, but this time, like I didn't even know where he was sitting, and he like tapped me on the shoulder and he's like, Hey, let's go! And I was like, Okay, yes, yes. And we like after our scene, he was like, Yeah, that was really fun. I was like, Yeah, it was so much fun. Like, we I really enjoyed our scene. I had so much fun performing with him, so I think that's why I want to um have a troupe because when you are comfortable performing with people, um, it makes improv easier because when I started the 101 class, it was kind of hard because it I wasn't used to the how those people perform. And um, I did towards the end of the class start noticing how to perform with certain people. Um still, there's other people that I'm still learning how what's the best way to perform with them. Um, but like with my friend Brian, I got it. So, like once you're in a troop and you perform with people regularly, you know how to perform with them and it makes it easier. And I think for me, it just makes it easier because I'm more comfortable and I'm more comfortable taking risks, and I know that they'll pick up what I put down or rescue me from a scene if like I'm just like drowning. So um it's just it's it's just all that. Like, like I said, I like to be part of an ensemble. Um I'm a I'm part of a team, okay. I I do teamwork, teamwork's all the way for me, all the way for me he. Um, so yeah, that's the goal. That's my big goal is audition for um an improv troupe, or if I have like a group of people, are troupe auditions for for um a theater, right? Okay, so that's the the number one thing was your my Missogi goal. Number two, six mini adventures. So the adventures are important because like sometimes life be lifing, you know? Life gets away with us. We we work, we just don't plan for the weekends, and you know, before you know it, it's like mid-year and you still haven't gone on that camping trip that you want to go to. And so, um, so my six mini adventures for the year, um, some are like local stuff and some some some are like bigger. So, one is go to top golf. I hate golfing, but I do like top golf, and I'm really bad at it. Um, and there's a top golf right near me, so I definitely want to do that. I I'm gonna try to get that with my neighbor. Uh, two, go paddle boarding. I haven't gone paddleboarding, um, and I'm not very good at it. I stay seated, so like paddleboarding, Kyle. Same difference for me. Um, but definitely do it. I don't want to do it out here in the marina, but I do want to do it. My one of my friends was telling me, um, like near Laguna Beach or Laguna Nigel. Is that out here? I don't know. Somewhere like in Orange County, there's a there's like a river that's really good for paddleboarding. So I kind of want I want to do that there because I don't really like paddleboarding in the open ocean. Uh that is scary. Um, but Arizona, if you're in Arizona near the Phoenix area, Salt River is a good place to go paddleboarding. I used to go paddleboarding there when I lived there. Um, really fun, really fun. Um three is ride my bike to Manhattan Beach. So this idea came to you because my neighbor was like messaging me. She's like, When are you coming back home? I'm like, till like the first weekend of January. And she's like, I already have a list of things for us to do. I was like, okay, tell me. She's like, one is riding bikes to Manhattan Beach. I was like, I gotta get my bike fixed, or I'll rent um, because she has an e-bike. So I was like, well, maybe I'll just rent an e-bike for the day and do that. Should be fun. Uh, number four is Joshua Tree weekend. Uh Joshua Tree's gorgeous. I went once, but it was literally um less, it was like I went to it like four days after I found out my my partner of 15 years was having an affair. So um my um mental and emotional state was just all over the fucking place. So I want to go back and have a redemption trip and do it right to have a good, fun redemption trip. And now I'm so much closer. I don't I think it's like a two-hour tr drive from here, maybe three, but I want to fucking do it. I want to, you know, go hug rocks and trees and just be out in nature. Joshua Tree's so gorgeous, um, and so healing too. I mean, I I'm glad I went, um, but I felt bad for my friend that went with me because I talked a lot about what I was going through and I didn't sleep. I didn't sleep the whole time I was there. So a redo on the Joshua Tree. Number five is I want to host like a little dinner party at my house. Like, um I just don't really have people over. And I don't know what it is. Like, I felt I've always been like that when I was ever since I was a kid. Um, like no one come over to my house. I was always over at people's houses. So I want to just do like a little dinner party with like a few friends. Um I do feel like my place is small, so I could throw the bigger parties later, but I like, you know, maybe have like two to three friends over and have them, you know, we'll we'll have a little dinner here, or when it gets nicer, have a little barbecue um out here. But like like host a few parties. I need to put that on the calendar. And number six, my number six thing is a Portland trip. My brother lives near Portland. He lives in Salem, which is about an hour out of Portland. I thought it was two hours, but no, it's only an hour. But I do want to actually stay in Portland. Um, I want to go stay in Portland, obviously see my brother and my nieces. Um, he has two twin girls, and then my one of my dad's sisters moved um near Portland as well. I think I think she's like five minutes away from my brother, but it's um it's on your way to Portland from where my brother lives. So she's it's she doesn't live like that close from Portland, but like five minutes closer than my brother does. So um excited to the do that because I do want to see my nieces and I want to explore Portland with my nieces. I think that would be fun. Most likely in the summer, because the winter is fucking cold, and we're not gonna do that. We're not gonna do that. Um, but I'm excited for that. I really want to get to know Portland a little bit more. I went, other than the time I went with my to visit my brother a few years ago. Um, actually, we've gone twice since since the girls were born, my nieces. Um, I went once with a friend and she she took me around. She lived like outside of Portland too. She took me around. Um, okay, award, okay, number three. So the three accountable steps. Um, I just finished number two, which was six mini adventures, and I listed my six mini adventures. So number four is four winning habits. So there's four quarters in a year, and every quarter you're gonna pick something that is going to be in a winning habit. Um it could be anything, it could be anything. So um, my first thing, and this sounds very bad because I don't do it often, is um floss daily. Yes, folks, I do not floss daily. I get lazy, and I do brush my teeth every day, but I don't always brush my teeth before going to bed. So those are things that I am focusing on this first quarter of the year is really like flossing daily and brushing my teeth before bed. Like I just gotta be better at that. I always brush my teeth in the morning, like for sure. I always do that. But um, the flossing and the teeth brushing before the bed doesn't always happen. So that is my winning habit for the first uh quarter of the year is to be consistent with brushing and flossing my teeth right before bed because girl gets uh it gets missed over here in the Hernandez household in the Erica Hernandez household. Um, the second winning habit is making my bed daily. So I'm gonna do that in the second quarter. First quarter I'm not, but um not really sure why I picked that. I just kind of feel like that was something easy, um, but I just don't do it. So just you know, I feel like some organization in my bedroom will be good, especially if I feel like my love life is gonna bloom. Like I should make my bed, you know, have it presentable, have it presentable for the guy that is gonna be my my future boyfriend. Um, because I'm not I'm not doing situationships anymore. I'm very much focused on um dating if it's a potential for a partner, basically is where I'm at right now. Like in the summer, I was like, I just want to have fun. And then now I'm like, no, I don't, I don't, I don't want to do that. Um I want something me more meaningful than that. Um, okay, number three of my four uh my four winning habits is read a book. Just one book. I just want to read one book. I really do do just want to sit here and read. Um I do enjoy a really good book. I just don't always take the time to do it. Um, and I think I just need something that like calms me down because sometimes I just want to be stimulated all the time, like with social media, the internet, the TV, um, where I just really need like kind of just that downtime to use my imagination. Um and I think a book, reading a book, and there's a book that I really want to read that my friend recommended. Um, so I'm I'm going to buy that. And I know that's like the third quarter, but I might not wait and just kind of like do it now. But hey, it's four winning habits. Um, because preferably they want you to do one thing a quarter, but cool, whatever. And number four, I put like organize my finances. So like I am financially stable, but sometimes I like overspend, um, and have to like use more money for my savings, or or um I put a little too much on the credit card, which is not a bad thing. It's not a bad thing. Like if you have debt and you paid things for for for later for whatever reasons, it's not a bad thing. But I just I just want to be more in a space where I have to worry less about what I'm spending because I'll I just have the money there to protect for protection. But on top of that is like I do wanna as I'm transitioning out of like corporate America into more creative stuff, I know that more that like uh I just I just want to be better about like you like just what's the best way to put it without sounding bad? I just I just want to pay more attention to where my money's going because be and and mainly because like at this moment, because I have the steady income and all of that, it's easier for me to be like, oh, I'll get paid in a few weeks, that's fine, or I have a bonus coming, and that may not be what my future is, so I have to be more like okay, be be more um not frugal, like I don't believe in being more frugal, but just like plan a little bit better, like be more like okay, like this this money's set aside for how many months of like rent, this money set aside for like food, this is your phone, go crazy, just kind of stuff like that, right? Just be like a little more organized because I'm kind of all over the place. Um, and sometimes I rely a lot on my tax returns and my bonus that I get every year, and I want to be less reliant on that. So I just want to make better choices with my finances, which I feel lately I've been kind of like, oh, I'm gonna lie, let me make all these choices, which is fine. I'm still like financially okay. I'm not in any trouble at all. I'm not in any trouble at all. I'm like totally fine. But you know, like if I were to like lose my job suddenly and unable to work, then I'll I'll have myself in a little pickle. So just just be more better with my finances, finances, future finances, maybe start investing. Um, really kind of looking at my retirement plans and where I'm at and how could I improve that because I don't think about that much and I know I need to as I'm look, I'm gonna be 44 in a few months, so stuff I gotta think about, you know, stuff I gotta think about. Um, so those are the three accountable steps to have for me to have a great year. Let me know what yours are. Um yeah, you could comment on the YouTube, you could um what I'm ending this kind of weird. I'm ending this kind of weird, but yeah, so that's how I'm basically planning my 2026 year is basically focusing on these like three accountable things just to like have an amazing life. Um, and then also uh you know, focusing on the joy, focusing on this flirt, bringing more of that flirty, flirty energy and this love energy that I have with performance in the audience, have with certain people that I've met recently, and just have more fun is basic what it is. Like, more fun, really enjoy LA. And that that's like mainly like what it is. It's just like have fucking fun. Have fucking fun, have a great life. Um, and that's it. That's really like what 2026 has in store for me. Um, and I just want to end this podcast, like honestly, like just saying how much I fucking love my life so much. There's so much good things. Um, there's still some things that I rather not have in my life, but overall, like 2025 was the year that I really started to rebuild my life. Um, and I should have said this in the last episode because we talked more about 2025, but you know, 2024 was the year I moved from Arizona to LA, and so I was still transitioning from that move. And 2025 really forced me to like look at where my life was at and where I wanted to go and really start cultivating the community and the group of friends that were aligned to me. Um, and I met some really great people that I I I see on a regular basis. Um, my neighbors, an example, like we're really good friends, and yesterday we like took a long walk, we had lunch, and it was like really great. It's like and it's great to have like people that are local to me and so close to me because I I do have my my college friend group that lives out here in Southern California, but they live like an hour's drive, right? And they're married, and I don't see them that often, so it was really important for me to like find a different set of friends because my other friends that are married and live far were not into the same things anymore, and we don't have the same schedule. I keep hitting my table, sorry. But you know, we just live very different lives, and I still love them deeply, but we're just not in the same place at in life, and and instead of being here all lonely and being like, Oh, I hate my life, I don't know anybody, or I don't I don't have fun th I don't do fun things is really like cultivating things and meeting people that are more like living a similar life that I am. Um, and I still have my friends, I still love them, right? But really having bringing people into my life that are that are more aligned with what I am, but and that I need I need that in my life because I live alone and I work from home and so I really need that social interaction to keep me going and keep me alive. Um so yeah, 2025 was just a year of rebuilding and building my community and really settling into a lay life um and really realizing what was important to me and what and letting go of what I had thought was important to me or was important to me in a different life, you know, for example social media. So when 2013 when I started doing beach body and then started podcasting and when I was in Arizona, like social media was what I needed um at the moment to like release my creativity. But now that I'm in LA where this is the this is where like you know, entertain entertainment industry's at, it it's calling for something more, something outside of where of outside of social media where I could do anywhere. I'm in LA for a reason, and my reason is you know to meet great people, but also work in entertainment, um, however that's gonna look. So um I'll let you guys I'll keep you guys posted on my future, right? Like that's what the podcast for. I don't know what the next episode's gonna be about, but I'm sure it'll come to me eventually. Um let me know what you how you are approaching 2026. Do you have resolutions? Do you have goals?
