No resolutions, just monthly projects for you to try

Published 3 months ago • 1 min read

Happy New Year Reader!

We welcomed 2026 in Athens! What a fun time!

Here's a shot of the Erechtheion temple with the famous Porch of the Caryatids.

The new year can bring so much hope and so much promise. This year, I'm letting go of the need to run full speed ahead on goals and resolutions, but focusing on small behavioral changes that are more sustainable.

One of my favorite things to do is to take on some personal projects to help me get out of my comfort zone and get off the autopilot routine. These are short monthly projects that are easy to take on and don't require a lot of commitment.

Here are some we run here at Sisters For FI, all FREE, and ready for you to try:

Here's to a wonderful year ahead.

We tell ourselves we need more willpower, better discipline, or fewer lattes. But I’m going to let you in on a secret from my “past life” in AdTech: It’s not you. It’s the machine. Before I started Sisters For FI, I spent over a decade in IT and Advertising Technology. I’ve been in the rooms where we built the systems designed to turn your every...

The holidays are only a few weeks away, but I want to send out this reminder to you, Reader. YOU have the power this Christmas season!

YOU decide how you want to feel after the holidays are over.
