The Breakthrough Year: Make 2026 The Year It All Clicks
What If You Actually Held The Vision This Time?
Every December, we do the same thing. We set intentions, choose a word of the year and we tell ourselves “this is going to be MY year.”
Then February rolls around and we can't remember what we wrote down. March arrives and we're back to playing small. By summer, we've convinced ourselves that “next year” will be different.
But here's what I've learned after years of mentoring creatives, visionaries, and entrepreneurs: the breakthrough doesn't happen when you set better goals. It happens when you finally stop being terrified of your own vision.
In this week's episode of Creatives Rule the World, I'm pulling back the curtain on what actually creates breakthrough years. Not the Instagram version where everything magically falls into place, but the real, messy, beautiful truth about what happens when you dare to hold a vision so big it scares you.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- [00:00] Why being the “best-kept secret” is keeping you broke
- [02:15] The real story of how I manifested my partner Jason
- [07:45] Shirley's impossible dream that came true faster than expected
- [12:30] Amelie's conviction while building a business with two young kids
- [15:47] Why “realistic” goals are killing your breakthrough
- [18:20] How to tap into your creative frequency
- [20:15] Creating your audacious, unimaginable vision
The Power of Holding Your Vision
I shared one of my favorite manifestation stories on the show, how I called my partner Jason into my life when I was 45 years old, living my best life in New York City, but craving real partnership. Here's the thing though: it wasn't just about visualizing. It was about getting right with myself first. About being okay with either outcome. About raising my vibration and becoming a match for what I said I wanted.
When you're happy inside, when you're aligned with your vision, when you stop looking for external validation, everything shifts. That's when the magic happens.
Real Stories of Breakthrough Transformation
Shirley's Story: When Shirley came to me, she had this huge vision of opening a store in the airport in South Africa and mentoring young Black artists. Everyone told her it would take years. Within months of working together, something even better dropped in. She was offered a space at the most prestigious safari lodge in the country, got sponsored by the biggest metal refiner in South Africa, and is now building exactly what she envisioned, but bigger.
Amelie's Story: Working a full-time corporate job, raising two young children, AND being the breadwinner in her family, Amelie held a vision of creating nightlife for moms stuck at home. Against all odds, while building her business at night, she's about to launch her first events in the new year. This is what conviction looks like.
Why We're Afraid to Dream Too Big
Most people won't let themselves dream big because they're terrified of what happens if they don't achieve it. The negative self-talk kicks in. Their nervous system screams “it's not safe to think that big.” Friends and family tell them they're crazy.
But here's what I know after building multiple businesses and helping thousands of creatives do the same: when you're tapped into your creative frequency, when you're having so much fun and feeling so aligned with your vision, you start attracting everything. Not because you're bypassing the hard stuff, but because you're riding the wave of being fully lit up.
