There’s a moment right before everything starts to click that almost no one talks about.
You’re not burnt out enough to burn it all down. You’re not “killing it” enough to relax. You’re in that in-between space where the vision is bigger than your current reality, and it’s tempting to think the only way out is a full reinvention: new brand, new offer, new city, new haircut, new everything.
The latest Unschool podcast episode is about what actually moves the needle in that in-between.
We’re in that time of year where it’s like “do I wait until January to actually go for it?” or “do I take this Winter Arc moment and make things happen now?”
This episode will help you take quiet action so that by 2026, you’re a brand new, almost unrecognizable version of you.
It’s for anyone building a life, a practice, or a body of work that doesn’t fit neatly into a box — the founder, the artist, the multi-hyphenate creative, the corporate-with-a-side-project human.
And it zooms in on the first five Micro Moves to Become a Big Deal Before 2026 — the small, repeatable shifts that change more than any giant overhaul ever will.
Here’s what we get into:
Micro Move #1 — Proof-Optional Mindset
Pulling one idea out of your notes app, sharing it before it feels “ready,” and letting clarity come from motion instead of waiting for perfect validation.
Micro Move #2 — The Nervous System Rebrand
Catching the moments you’re creating from adrenaline or urgency, and resetting into a regulated baseline before you hit record, walk into the room, or start the next step.
Micro Move #3 — Define Your Big Deal Vision
Getting specific about what you want to be known for and choosing one small action that matches the version of you you’re actually building toward.
Micro Move #4 — Quiet Quit Your Old Self
Letting go of habits, identities, and survival-era patterns that don’t belong in your next chapter — sometimes through something as simple as a haircut, a cleared desk, or a pantry reset.
Micro Move #5 — The Life Edit
My notes-app method for what stays, what shifts, and what goes — then moving those “green heart” priorities into your calendar and actually honoring them.
I also share how these moves have looked in my world: buying our home in LA, scaling Oui, We Studio, and funding Casa Noon step by step instead of in one dramatic leap.
