2025 Was the Soft Launch—2026 Is the Glow Up

Dec 29

Because last year I was laying the foundation. This year? I’m building the damn empire.

Let’s be honest:
2025 wasn’t perfect.
It was messy. It was experimental. It was emotional.
It was full of wins, flops, burnout, breakthroughs, and a whole lot of figuring it out in real-time.

But it was also the year I stopped waiting for “the right time.”
It was the year I said:
“Screw it—I’m doing this my way.”

And now?
Now we glow.

2025: The Soft Launch Era

Soft launches aren’t about being small.
They’re about testing, trying, learning, unlearning, and building under the radar before you blast into the spotlight.

Here’s what that looked like for me:

I refined my brand voice until it finally sounded like me
I rebranded with intention, clarity, and chaos-coded confidence
I started showing up more as Nicko—not just the business owner, but the creator, the human, the rebel
I tested offers, launched digital products, tweaked pricing, and built systems (some while absolutely unhinged)
I leaned into my neurodivergence instead of hiding it
I planted seeds I know will bloom in 2026

Was it perfect? Hell no.
But it was real.
And it built the foundation for something much, much bigger.

2026: The Glow Up Era

This year, it’s not about starting over—it’s about stepping fully into the version of myself I’ve already been becoming.

In 2026, I’m:
⚡ Building louder, bolder brand experiences
⚡ Creating content that connects and converts
⚡ Leading with my voice, not just my visuals
⚡ Saying “no” faster and “yes” with more intention
⚡ Launching like I believe in my own power
⚡ Working with clients who get it
⚡ Showing up fully as a queer, neurospicy, creative force

This isn’t the year of playing it safe.
This is the year of stepping into alignment, expansion, and that full-body “hell yes” energy.

If You’re in the Soft Launch Right Now…

Don’t rush the glow up.
You’re not behind. You’re not failing. You’re building.
Soft launch energy is powerful—because it’s where clarity is born.

Keep going. Keep tweaking. Keep showing up.
Your glow-up doesn’t need to go viral to be valid.

to be honest:

2025 was the test run.
2026 is the takeover.
And if you thought I was doing too much before?
Buckle up.
