Service, Family, and the Power of Building Together

Jan 11, 2026

Systems Create Freedom, and People Make It Meaningful

This month has been about two things that matter deeply to me:
serving our clients well and honoring my family fully.

I’ve been spending a lot of time building systems and strengthening my team. When done right, systems don’t create distance, they create freedom and impact. They allow you to serve more people, at a higher level, without losing yourself in the process.

January is also a special month in our home. It’s conference month, and we’re also celebrating my husband’s birthday. We’re both January babies, and this season reminds me how grateful I am for a partner who believed in us long before we fully believed in ourselves.

Family and business are not competing priorities for me. They are equally important, and I am intentional about honoring both.


Conference Month Is Here — and We Are Officially SOLD OUT 🤍

What started as a vision has become a fully booked reality — and we are truly grateful.

The 2026 ALF Caregivers Conference is officially SOLD OUT, and we are preparing to welcome an excited, ready-to-learn, ready-to-grow group of caregivers, operators, and leaders.

The connections that will be made, the clarity that will be gained, and the lives that will be changed truly excite me.

I want to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who raised their hand to be part of this moment, whether you are:

  • Speaking

  • Volunteering

  • Supporting behind the scenes

  • Attending to learn, network, and elevate your life and business

It takes a village to create an experience like this, and I am deeply grateful to each of you.

If you secured your seat, get ready — this is going to be special.

Featured Speaker Resource — Erika Obando’s Accountability Partner Workbook

One of our conference speakers, Erika Obando, has created a tool that I personally use and love: The Accountability Partner Workbook.

If you know me, you know I’m big on structure, discipline, and protecting my time. As a busy CEO, wife, mom, and leader, chaos is not an option.

This planner helps me stay focused, manage deadlines, and hold myself accountable even when life gets full. From planning the ALF Caregivers Conference and travel, to managing clients and daily priorities, this workbook keeps me grounded, organized, and intentional without burnout.

What I love most is that it also includes space for self-care, reflection, and reset, because protecting your goals starts with protecting your time and energy.

🎁 Special Offer for Our Community

  • Enjoy 15% OFF any of Erika’s three books
  • Shop here: https://tpecoaching.com/shop/
  • Discount Code: TPE15

Erika will be joining us in person at the conference, where you’ll have the opportunity to learn directly from her, connect in real time, and purchase her workbook at the event.

If accountability, focus, and execution matter to you, this is a tool you want in your hands.


A Final Word of Gratitude

This month is about service and family, impact and appreciation.

Thank you to everyone who has said yes — to learning, to growth, to collaboration, and to community. I am incredibly excited and honored to welcome you to the conference.

We are building something special together.

Slowing Down to Move Forward — Welcome to 2026
A Gentle Start to a Powerful Year The first week of 2026 has been about slowing down — not because there’s nothing to do, but because clarity requires space.
