The Future of Feeling Better
Carrie Bordinko M.D., Owner and CEO, Benessair Health
As we step into 2026, I believe everyone should experience photobiomodulation, often called red light therapy. It is one of the most underrated tools for energy, recovery, and longevity. Just twenty minutes in a medical grade bed delivers a full body cellular reset. Most patients notice better sleep, improved focus, faster muscle recovery, and an elevated mood. It is an effortless, restorative practice that helps you feel better and function better without disrupting your routine.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is another treatment gaining attention for its recovery and longevity benefits, but what many do not realize is how deeply it supports cognitive and emotional health. Patients often describe leaving the chamber feeling clear headed, calm, and creatively recharged. There is a mental reset that happens when your brain finally has space to breathe away from the noise of technology. I also see better sleep, improved stress resilience, and sharper focus. It is as restorative for the mind as it is for the body.
At the end of the year, when energy dips and stress peaks, I always return to oxygen and light. A few sessions of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy combined with photobiomodulation can reset energy, enhance sleep, and clear mental fog. Add hydration through a tailored IV infusion and gentle movement such as low impact strength training, and you create a reset that truly replenishes your system. It is less about doing more and more about giving your body space to recover and rebuild.
If you want to approach wellness differently this year, start by listening to your body before it demands your attention. Preventative medicine is proactive, not reactive. It is about optimizing how you function today to prevent problems tomorrow. Wellness is not about perfection, it is about consistency and curiosity. Lab work alone will not get you to your longevity goals.
True wellness is not a quick fix. You must prioritize the time for it because wellness is not something you achieve once, it is something you maintain. At Benessair, we design treatment plans that evolve with each patient’s goals, whether that is longevity, mental clarity, or physical recovery. You deserve to feel your best now, not just avoid feeling worse later.
Becoming, Not Just Doing
Coley Arnold, Owner of The Foundress
Many people set resolutions from a place of pressure or comparison. I’ve learned that the healthiest way to approach a new year’s reset is to find what truly works for you. It can be a single word, a phrase, or concrete goals... but if it doesn’t feel aligned, it won’t last. Instead of asking what you want to do, ask who you want to become. From there, build small, actionable habits and rituals that bring that version of yourself to life each day.
As entrepreneurs, we often let work spill into every corner of life. The shift happens when we focus on who we want to be, not just what we want to accomplish. I’m a founder, but I’m also a mom, and one of my goals is to be fully present in both. That means setting clear boundaries around work hours, putting my phone away when I’m with my kids, and remembering that most “emergencies” can wait. If we don’t care for ourselves, we burn out... and nothing thrives from burnout.
Community is another essential piece of the puzzle. Building a business can feel lonely, but surrounding yourself with people who understand the highs and lows of entrepreneurship is vital. The right community doesn’t just support you emotionally; it accelerates your growth by connecting you to the right people. The saying “your network is your net worth” couldn’t be more true. My greatest growth this year came from the connections within mine.
Clarity and alignment anchor it all. I once spent three million dollars on a project that was completely out of alignment. When your values, goals, and actions don’t match, everything drifts off course. Getting honest about what truly matters, and who you really are, is the greatest shortcut to success.
After more than a decade of building, pivoting, and mentoring, the resolution I encourage every woman entrepreneur to make isn’t about business, it’s about self. Become your own best friend. Learn what makes you unique, what makes you tick. When you truly know yourself, you become unstoppable.
Creating Alignment in a Season of Change
Alaine K. Nolt, Certified Transformational Health & Life Coach
Every January, people crave a fresh start, but real change rarely happens overnight. I’ve learned that transformation begins long before the calendar flips. About 80% of resolutions fade by February because we expect instant results instead of building alignment.
Lasting momentum isn’t about willpower. It’s about alignment between who you are and what you value. When your actions reflect your truth, follow-through feels natural. Change becomes part of you rather than something you chase.
The holidays can make that balance tricky. They ask us to hold everything together while we smile, host, and care for everyone else. It’s easy to feel invisible. That’s why I remind myself and my clients that staying grounded isn’t about doing more. It’s about choosing what matters most. Among all the “have tos,” focus on the few things that actually bring light to your life.
Give yourself grace when you begin. One choice at a time, choose yourself and your goal over the quick comfort of old habits. Let yourself feel what success feels like right now. When you do, the process softens. You stay more relaxed, more connected, and more consistent.
You don’t need a date to begin. Start now with less pressure. Start small, because every choice counts. And most importantly, start aligned so you can feel the joy in your own growth. When you honor what lights you up, the season feels less like pressure and more like peace.
A Fresh Start for Your Space and Mind
Abby Kahn, Owner, Abbsolutely Organized
At the start of a new year, many people feel pressure to “get organized,” but I always remind clients that organization does not happen overnight. Start small. Set a timer for twenty minutes a day to declutter. Those short, consistent bursts create lasting change without feeling overwhelming.
December often highlights the excess... gifts, décor, and stuff everywhere. After the holidays, I help clients edit their spaces and pack everything away in an organized way. Whether decorations are stored in a storage unit or garage, we make sure everything is labeled and easy to access so that next year it is simple to set back up.
One of the most overlooked spaces that makes a big difference in daily life is the drop zone. It could be as simple as hooks on the wall, a mail tray, or a dish to hold your keys. A designated spot for everything helps streamline your routine, gets you out the door faster, and makes coming home calmer.
Many people think organizing is about bins and labels, but it is really about behavior. The most organized homes belong to people who are willing to declutter. Having less means organizing less, and less stuff naturally leads to less overwhelm.
As for my philosophy, I always encourage families to focus on what brings value and joy. Give experiences instead of gifts, or consider gifting loved ones a session with Abbsolutely Organized to start the new year refreshed and ready.
