New Year, Upgraded You: Mindset Shifts for 2026

In the final episode of Sincerely Self for 2025, Lexi reflects on growth, faith, fear, and the mindset shifts required to become a better version of yourself in 2026 — not a “perfect” one.   This heartfelt solo episode explores how limiting beliefs, comparison, and waiting until we feel “ready” can quietly keep us stuck. Through personal stories, spiritual insight, and honest self-reflection, Lexi shares how releasing other people’s opinions — and her own self-doubt — transformed her life and the trajectory of the podcast.   A powerful theme woven throughout the episode is the question: “If not now, then when?” A reminder that tomorrow isn’t promised — but today is.   Lexi also opens up about her evolving relationship with God, separating faith from religion, and finding spiritual connection outside of traditional structures. If you’ve ever struggled with religious trauma, self-worth, or fear of being seen, this episode offers compassion, clarity, and encouragement.   This episode is your reminder that: • You don’t need permission to start • Growth is a lifelong process • Grace matters just as much as discipline • Your calling will keep calling — until you answer   As we step into a new year, this conversation invites you to stop waiting, stop shrinking, and start choosing yourself — again and again.   Learn more about me : SINCERELY, SELF WEBSITE: sincerelyselfpodcast.com INSTA: https://tr.ee/_hDgsXsjmE TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@sincerelyselfpodcast?_t=zt-8zjvsa3xu4d&_r=1 NETWORK: https://theradcastnetwork.com Get some EvryJewels with a discount: https://evryjewels.com/?ref=alexisbenitezvtn Use code:ALEXIS889 for $$$ off🤍 Check out my Hollister Favs: https://community.hollisterco.com/s/sincerelyself If this episode encouraged you, please: Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.
