2025 Recap & 2026 Intentions: Starting to Get My Spark Back

About this episode

Maci Jones reflects on her growth in 2025 and shares her intentions for 2026, focusing on healing and personal development.

What if the habits you’re most proud of are actually the ones holding you back? This year forced me to confront everything I thought made me “successful”: productivity, perfection, discipline, and control. In today’s episode, I’m reflecting on my 2025 growth and sharing the intentions I’m carrying into 2026 as I learn to slow down, heal, and live more fully. I've recently started to get my spark back and I plan on making it brighter this year and to help you do the same.
