Kick Off the Year with Harmony
Welcome to the first edition of The Harmony Hour, your reset button—to finding a balance between the grind, the groove, your goals, and everything in between. Inspired by my Philly roots, hip-hop energy, and years of business and HR expertise, think of this newsletter as your monthly dose of business insights, wellness tips, and energy that hits differently. 2025 is all about finding your rhythm. Let’s set the tone for a year of growth, harmony, and success—one beat at a time.
Starting Fresh: 3 Tips to Help You Find Your Groove in 2025
A new year feels like a blank track waiting to be filled with the beats of your life. How you start will set the rhythm for everything to come. But here’s the thing: great albums don’t happen by accident—they’re intentional.
Here’s how to create your 2025 intro track with purpose:
Choose Your Word of the Year: Think of one word that will guide your decisions. Need inspiration? Words like Balance, Bold, Growth, or Focus are great places to start. Write your word somewhere you’ll see daily—on a sticky note, your phone’s lock screen, or even a candle label (hint: After Effex Co. can help!).
Set Your Three Harmony Goals: List a goal for each of your harmony areas: 1) Business (professional or business), 2) Balance (wellness or self-care), and 3) Personal Beat (personal growth).
Build Your Team: Every great artist has a solid team. Surround yourself with people who uplift, inspire, and hold you accountable. You don’t need yes-men; you need real ones.
Call to Action: We’d love to hear from you!

Your Harmony Express
Providing you with an express trip to harmony with these tips!
✨ Balance: Transform your space into a sanctuary. Aromatherapy is a simple yet powerful way to reset your energy. Light a candle infused with natural herbs—like lavender for calm, eucalyptus for clarity, or mint for a boost. (Check out After Effex Co., for hand-poured all-natural candles that elevate your mood and redefine self-care.).
💼 Business: January is a great time to log into your accounts to review, audit, and update your billing details, advanced directives, will & trust details, beneficiary, and dependent information, and your trusted/emergency contact details for your health, insurance, banking, and other financial accounts. Start the year off by ensuring you and your loved ones are properly protected and covered.
🎶 Beats: “New Year, New Energy” - curated to fuel your vibes, playlist available on Tidal or Spotify.
