328: The 5 Rules I’d Follow If I Wanted to Completely Change My Life by 2027

What if you didn’t wait until January to become the person you want to be? With less than four months left in 2026, Josie is sharing the five rules she would follow to make the rest of the year so transformative that she enters 2027 on a completely different trajectory. And no, this isn’t another list of morning routines, wellness habits, or things to add to your already-full to-do list. Josie breaks down how getting painfully specific about your identity can change your everyday decisions, why she’s giving herself 90 days of “delusional commitment,” and the uncomfortable calendar audit that reveals what you’re actually prioritizing. She also shares how to identify the hidden “leaks” keeping you stuck in old patterns and how to recognize the areas of your life you’ve unknowingly turned into a waiting room. If you’re ready to stop waiting for a new year to create a new beginning, this episode is your roadmap for making the rest of 2026 count.
