New Year, Intentional You
We’re a few weeks into 2025 - how’s yours going so far?
If I’m honest, mine hasn’t unfolded quite the way I envisioned. But I’m so glad I took the time to set intentions at the start of the year - it’s helped me stay grounded and true to what matters most.
What is an intention?
A few years ago, I decided to ditch the traditional New Year’s resolutions and instead focus on living true to my intentions.
I like to think of an intention as a guiding star - a principle that anchors me and helps me navigate life.
Here’s the difference:
Resolutions tend to be specific, action-oriented goals, like “go to the gym three times a week.”
Intentions focus on how you want to feel or live, like “I want to feel good in my body.”
See the difference?
From that simple intention, goals and actions naturally flow.

My intention for 2024 was to realign with my own sense of wellbeing - building my business while raising my daughter had meant that sometimes, I didn't even make it on to my to-do-list, never mind the bottom of it!
Here’s what happened:
Because I wasn’t focused on rigid goals, there was no “pass or fail.”
I prioritised self-care, finding freedom from my inner critic and gaining better control over my PMDD.
Surprisingly (or, not suprisingly?!), as I aligned with my own needs, my business flourished in ways I hadn’t imagined.
When I set the intention of realigning to my own sense of wellbeing, I didn’t realise just how much it would impact every area of my life!
Has it been easy? Not always. But having my guiding star kept me steady during the tough times.
And what about 2025?
Well, my intention for this year is to be open to possibility, and from this I am aiming to be more open to saying YES to things that scare me, and stop keeping myself small. Already, I am feeling a shift with my mindset, and I'm even excited bout all of the stuff that's still to come, that I don't even know about yet.
How about you?
Do you have an intention guiding you into 2025?
If you’re feeling unsure about where to start, I’ve got just the thing to help you find clarity. Earlier this year, I delivered an Intention Setting Workshop, and got some fantastic feedback! For those who couldn’t make it, I’ve created a self-led version that you can download for just £10.
It’s packed with reflection exercises, mindset prompts, and a guided meditation to help you uncover the intention that feels right for you.
Let’s make 2025 a year of purpose, growth, and possibilities.
