No more “new year, new you” bullshit.

Everyone loves a New Year’s resolution until about the second week of January.

“New year, new me.”
“This is my year.”
“Everything changes from the 1st.”

If you need a date in the diary to finally get your life together, you’ve already lost half the battle.

On paper, 2025 looked solid for me.
We grew businesses. Launched new stuff. Put more content out.

But the things that don’t make Instagram?
Courtrooms. Legal battles. Pressure. Nights staring at the ceiling thinking,
“How the fuck did we end up here again…and how do I fix it without everything falling apart?”

In this new solo episode of No Bollocks, I break down what 2025 was really like:

• The legal shit that dragged on and drained energy.

• Getting out of Dubai and finding quiet in Bali, and the uncomfortable questions that came with it.

• Saying yes to Everest Base Camp with Ant Middleton and remembering what it feels like to do something genuinely hard on purpose.

• My eldest, Harlie, going to uni, and the slap-in-the-face reminder that time with your kids is not refundable.

• Finally building the digital side of No Bollocks: the eBook, courses, community and HQ I’ve wanted for years.

• Taking my health seriously instead of hiding behind “I’m too busy” and “I’ll start when things calm down.”

And then I set out what I’m calling my Year of Relentless Focus:

Less drama.
Less distraction.
More ruthless focus on the right people, the right projects, the right habits and the right life.

In the episode, I’ll also throw a few questions at you:

Where are you coasting?
What are you still doing out of habit that you know is holding you back?
What’s your “Everest” that you keep saying you’ll do “one day”?
If your family watched your last 12 months, would they say you were present…or just busy?

If any of that stings, good. That’s where change lives.

Let’s make 2026 the year you stop waiting for the calendar to change and start actually moving the needle.
