How to Build Habits and Plan for 2026

In this episode, host Alessia welcomes listeners to December and shares her personal journey of starting a new habit: daily morning exercise. She talks candidly about overcoming excuses, finding accountability, and using her Meta Quest VR headset to make workouts fun, especially with the Supernatural app that combines travel, music, and fitness.

Alessia introduces her "31 Day Habit Jumpstart Challenge," available for free through her monthly Insider newsletter, and explains how the Notion workspace template helps listeners set, track, and stay accountable to a new goal. She dives into practical mindset shifts, like finding solutions instead of excuses, and encourages starting new habits before the new year begins.

The episode also features holiday gift guides covering everything from comfy essentials and tech gadgets to kids’ toys and travel favorites, plus a festive playlist for the season. Alessia shares tips for experiencing Christmas markets and destinations, with special highlights for New York City and Edinburgh, Scotland.

She rounds out the show reflecting on her evolving brand, moving beyond solo travel into social media and business coaching, and invites listeners to provide feedback and connect with her. The episode is packed with inspiration, resources, and practical advice to finish the year strong and set up for success in 2026.
