Feeling behind financially as we head into 2026? You're not alone, and you're not actually behind. In this episode, we break down why so many people feel this way, how to reframe what "behind" really means, and the hidden cost of letting that pressure drive your decisions. This isn't about catching up it's about getting aligned. Learn what being "in control" actually looks like, how to avoid January burnout, and the first small step to take when everything feels overwhelming. You don't need to be ahead in 2026. You just need to feel aligned.
