In this episode, I’m giving an update on where I’m at right now - two and a half months into 2026, chasing big goals, managing ADHD, running a business, and trying to level up my income as a single mom. My word of the year is money… and let me tell you, that has forced me to look at everything - how I work, how I charge, how I think, and honestly, how much I’ve been playing small. I share what’s actually been going on behind the scenes in my business, including how I’m working toward a $250K ...

Messy Middle Energy - 2026 So Far

Okay. This episode? It’s one of those conversations that stays with you.This week on Mostly All Figured Out, I’m sitting down with my incredible friend Leighton Jones - dancer, nurse, immigrant, political advocate, community builder, and one of the most fearless humans I know.We talk about what it actually means and looks like to stop caring what people think… and why that’s way harder than Instagram makes it look.Leighton shares his story of immigrating from Jamaica to the U.S. at 19, growing up in a country where being gay is illegal, surviving bullying and violence, and choosing - over and over again - to live authentically anyway. And let me tell you… this conversation will make you rethink what bravery really looks like.We get into:<ul><li>Why your reaction is your power</li><li>How to stop people-pleasing (especially when it’s your default)</li><li>The difference between online connection and real-life community</li><li>Immigrant resilience and the trauma people don’t talk about</li><li>Facing fears around money, business, and asking for what you’re worth</li><li>What it looks like to choose joy on purpose</li></ul>There’s laughter. There’s real talk. There are uncomfortable truths. There’s a moment where I get lovingly called out (and honestly? I needed it).If you’ve ever:<ul><li>Held yourself back because you were afraid of being judged</li><li>Struggled to show up authentically online</li><li>Felt torn between who you are and who people expect you to be</li><li>Needed permission to choose yourself</li></ul>This one’s for you.We’re stepping into 2026 with courage, boundaries, bold energy, and way less caring about what the wrong people think.Let’s get into it 💛Follow Leighton for all the details on dance classes and what he&apos;s up to next on IG <a href='https://www.instagram.com/leejay____/'>@leejay____</a><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2037506/support">Support the show</a>💸 Want to support the pod?

How to Stop Caring What People Think (And Start Living Authentically) with Leighton Jones

It’s 2026, babies, and you know what that means. It’s goal-setting time. In this solo episode, I’m sharing exactly how I’m planning my year, my goals (big and tiny), and what actually worked for me in 2025. From ADHD chaos to hair loss hell to realizing I’ve been emotionally held hostage by one lipstick comment since 2013 -this one’s a full-on heart-to-heart. I talk about quitting Adderall, reorganizing my office mid-spiral, the reason behind my word of the year (MONEYYY), and building real systems to actually follow through on goals.If you’re a neurodivergent human, a chronically overextended woman, or just tired of setting resolutions that flop by February - this one’s for you. You’ll leave with a tangible, doable system for setting goals that make sense (and stick), plus a reminder that you’re not alone in trying to figure it all out.<a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2037506/support">Support the show</a>💸 Want to support the pod?

Quarter-Milli Energy: How I Set Goals for 2026

Hi friends! Welcome back to Mostly All Figured Out! It’s 2026, and I’m kicking off this year by choosing a theme for myself that feels big and a little scary: money. Yep. This is the year I stop playing small, stop doing free labor, and start owning the value I bring - in business, in life, in everything.In this episode, I’m reflecting on the past few years of choosing a &quot;word of the year&quot; (remember freedom? gamechanger? routine?) and sharing why this year is all about financial growth, CEO energy, and actually believing I’m the boss I already am. I’m diving into what held me back before, what I’m focusing on now, and what I’m no longer available for (spoiler alert: burnout and undercharging).If you’ve been feeling stuck in survival mode, unsure how to level up, or just need a nudge to finally pick your own word of the year - this one’s for you.I’m talking about:<ul><li>How I pick my annual theme and why it matters</li><li>What “money” really means to me this year</li><li>The tough love I got from a friend that changed everything</li><li>ADHD, routines, and finding a rhythm that actually works</li><li>And how I plan to grow this podcast and my income this year</li></ul>Let’s make 2026 the year we show up differently - more confident, more intentional, and more in charge of our lives. What’s your theme for the year? Let me know. Let’s do this together.<a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2037506/support">Support the show</a>💸 Want to support the pod?

Hi friends! Welcome back to Mostly All Figured Out! It’s 2026, and I’m kicking off this year by choosing a theme for myself that feels big and a little scary: money. Yep. This is the year I stop playing small, stop doing free labor, and start owning the value I bring - in business, in life, in everything. In this episode, I’m reflecting on the past few years of choosing a "word of the year" (remember freedom? gamechanger? routine?) and sharing why this year is all about financial growth, CEO ...

The One Thing That Can Change Your Life This Year

In this episode of Mostly All Figured Out, I’m sharing how working from home unexpectedly helped me create a more intentional holiday season, build an evening routine that actually stuck, and be more present with my kids during December.I knew going into this month that I’d have the boys a lot - their dad was gone for most of December - and I didn’t want to look back and feel like I missed it while technically being there the whole time. So I got intentional with my days, locked in during work hours, and built small systems that supported the kind of mom and human I wanted to be this season.We talk about:<ul><li>Working from home as a system (not just a vibe)</li><li>Building an evening routine without forcing it</li><li>Habit stacking and ADHD-friendly routines</li><li>How washing the dishes every night completely changed my life (swear to God, I&apos;m just as shocked as you are)</li><li>Being present with your kids without burning yourself out</li><li>Why small, supportive habits matter more than big overhauls</li></ul>I also share a quick update on working on the inauguration reception for Buffalo’s incoming mayor, Sean Ryan, and why there’s no real slowing down as the year wraps up.If you’ve been craving calmer days, better routines, or proof that small changes can actually change how your life feels - this episode is for you 💛<a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2037506/support">Support the show</a>💸 Want to support the pod?
