I want to say happy new year again to everyone! And then again apologize for lack of content coming out! I am hoping that it will be more consistent. But right now between kids, grandbabies, pets, and dividing time between two houses it can be overwhelming at times! If anyone has anything that they would like to add here that is great! I truly want this to be a community where we all help and support each other 💖

On Monday, we talked about burning the list and releasing the goals that aren’t yours. But here is the tricky part: The void. When you stop hustling, your brain (and your Open Centers) usually freaks out. It says: “You aren’t doing enough! You’re falling behind! Fill the space!” So today, I want a real report from the field. Since Monday, have you: 1. Actually rested? (Or did you just feel guilty about resting?) 2. Caught yourself trying to “prove” something? 3. Felt a moment of actual peace? Drop a comment below: Tell me ONE thing you did differently this week. Did you sleep in? Did you say no? Did you close the laptop at 5 PM?

We are conditioned to believe that if we don't have a "Plan" for January, we are failing. So we write down the same goals we write every year: •"Make $10k months." •"Post on Instagram every day." •"Wake up at 5 AM." But here is the Human Design truth: Most of your goals are not yours. They are your Open Centers screaming for safety. When we set goals from our "Not-Self," we are setting ourselves up for burnout because we are chasing energy we don't consistently have. The Not-Self Audit: Look at your 2026 goals list. Now, ask yourself where that goal came from. •Open Heart (Willpower): "I need to hit this income goal to prove I’m successful/worthy." •Open Sacral (Work/Life Force): "I need to do more and work harder so I don't look lazy." •Open Solar Plexus (Emotion): "I need to be a 'nice' brand so no one gets mad at me." •Open Head/Ajna (Ideas/Certainty): "I need to have the perfect strategy figured out right now." If a goal feels heavy, tight, or frantic... it’s likely not yours. It’s conditioning. Your Assignment: 1.Look at your list. 2.Find ONE goal that feels like "pressure" or "proving." 3.Cross it out. (Or literally burn the paper if you’re feeling dramatic 😉). Comment below: What is ONE thing you are releasing this week? Let’s clear the space before we try to fill it. ✨ #AntiResolution #HumanDesign #NotSelf #BurnTheList #AmbitionByDesign P.S. If you’re looking at your chart and thinking, "I have no idea which centers are open or where I’m leaking energy," we can map that out together.

We have some new faces in the Society and some OGs who have been here since the beginning. Since we’re kicking off a new era of Ambition by Design, I want to get to know the humans behind the businesses. Forget the elevator pitch for a second. Tell me: 1. Your Name + What you do (briefly!) 2. One completely mundane, non-business fact about you. I’ll go first: I’m Ashley, Human Design guide for burnt-out entrepreneurs. My mundane fact: I live in a camper 60% of my time these days, and have very strong opinions about the best kind of coffee mug. ☕️ Your turn! 👇

We took a break. And we aren’t apologizing for it. ☕️😂🏝️ If you’ve been quiet lately, if you fell off the wagon during the holidays, if you haven’t looked at your goals in weeks… Good. That means you’re human. And in the Rise & Grind Society, we don’t shame rest. We honor it as part of the cycle. But now, it’s January 2nd. The energy is shifting. The coffee is brewing. And it’s time to get back to business—but not the way everyone else is doing it. We aren’t doing “New Year, New Me.” We aren’t doing 50 resolutions that we’ll quit by February. We are doing Aligned Ambition. This month, we are redefining what the “Grind” actually means. It’s not about working until you drop. It’s about working on purpose. Roll Call: Drop a ☕️ in the comments if you’re ready to leave the hustle behind and start building something real this year. Let’s get it. #RiseAndGrindSociety #WeAreBack #AntiResolution #AlignedAmbition #BusinessByDesign #NewYearSameVision #Community
