I love this time of year.
Not because of the holidays.
Not the presents or the rest or the family traditions.

I love it because this is the time of year when the real work happens. The work on yourself that makes everything else in 2026 possible.

In addition to the holiday craziness, I’ve always seen Thanksgiving as the mental transition into a new year.

It’s the four-week runway before January when I build my clarity, my intention, my vision, and my plan, so when the calendar flips, I’m not waiting.
I’m ready.
I’m already in motion.

BK (before kids), I always traveled over Thanksgiving and spent a few days sitting on a beach writing, thinking, feeling, resting, and planning. It’s harder now with a 5- and 3-year-old. But I still protect the space — at least in my calendar and in my head — to begin the process.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot these last few days, and I have a feeling it will resonate with some of you too.

In June, I was honored to attend Female Founders Fund’s Camp FFF with 100+ of the top founders across all industries. Names you definitely know — their products are in your bathroom, your kitchen, your house, your life.

You know what struck me the most?

Not their résumés.
Not their funding rounds.
Not their logos.

It was how much inner work they had done.

They’ve gone deep:

Some of that work would look “woo-woo” to outsiders. Some of it is unconventional.

But I resonated with almost all of it because I’ve been on my own inner-work journey for over 10 years. And I can’t tell you the difference it has made.

This is the perfect time of year for you to connect to that part of yourself.
To imagine something bigger.
To feel into your future.
To emotionally practice becoming the person who has already done it.

You know I’m all about action. So over the next four weeks I’ll share prompts, activities, conversations, and small experiments to help you step into your 2026 career with intention.

But none of that work matters if you don’t know where you want to go.

When I first started working with my executive coach, I told her I felt like I was on a boat trying to wrestle it through a storm. She asked me where I was trying to go.

And I said:
“I don’t know.”

That moment changed me.

Until we slow down — or stop — and decide where we want to go, it is almost impossible to chart a path that gets us there.

So, where do you want to go in 2026? And how is it going to feel to get there?

I know this week is chaos.
Work is wrapping up.
Presents need to be ordered.
Holiday cards need to be sent.
It’s the last month to hit targets, close deals, finish projects.

But it’s also the week to start dreaming.

Here are the two exercises I return to every single year:

What didn’t serve me?
What drained my energy?
What distracted me or diminished me?
What was toxic, heavy, or simply not additive?

Name it.
Write it down.
Release it.

Imagine you’re sitting in your favorite spot next holiday season (for me: a tropical beach).
Imagine 2026 is complete.

Write your Year in Review for 2026 in the past tense.

What did you accomplish?
How did it feel?
Who were you — as a partner, parent, daughter, friend, leader?
How does your physical body feel?
Your emotional body?
Your spiritual body?
What are you proud of?

If you’re not sure where to begin — that’s okay.

Here are a few questions to meditate on this week to get you started:

I want to go on this journey with you.

I recently asked a founder friend of a major women’s health company how she got so many celebrity investors. Her answer? “I manifested it”. Her motto is “this or something better”. I loved it and it’s been playing rent-free in my head since that conversation.

I’ve been dancing around manifestation for years. Part of my 2026 plan is to jump in with both feet.

If you’ve been on a manifestation journey, I’d love your help.

I want to hear and learn from it all. Engage with me on social media.

Follow me on TikTok (@jodi.neuhauser) and Instagram (@jodi_neuhauser).
Share your dreams, your intentions, your process — and let’s build into 2026 together.

More to come next week….

As we look into the new year, many of us feel that mix of anticipation and possibility — a sense that this could be the moment to refocus, refresh, and take meaningful steps toward the career we truly want. Whether you're hoping to step into a new position, strengthen your professional presence, or finally pursue that role in women’s health you’ve been thinking about, this is the perfect time to begin.

To support you as you plan your next move, we are sharing two practical, on-demand recordings designed specifically for job seekers in women’s health:

These sessions are perfect if you’re polishing your materials, exploring a career shift, or simply wanting to approach the job market with more clarity and confidence.

As we move into the year ahead, I’ll continue sharing resources and tips to help you build momentum and land a role that feels aligned and energizing.

Here’s to stepping into the new year with intention — and taking the next step toward the opportunities you deserve.

Whether you’re breaking into women’s health or leveling up in your current role, having the right resources at your fingertips isn’t just helpful — it’s transformative. In this guide, I’ve pulled together my go-to tools, platforms, communities, and references that support real growth: in your skills, your confidence, and your career direction.

This list is designed to be actionable. These are the exact resources I recommend to job seekers, career changers, clinical professionals, public health leaders, and anyone building a meaningful path in women’s health.

Landing the right role in women’s health can feel overwhelming, which is why having a curated set of trusted resources is essential. These tools help streamline the job search, clarify career direction, highlight in-demand skills, and make it easier to stay aligned with what employers are actively looking for.

Even if you’re coming from a non-clinical background, having a solid understanding of the evidence, clinical guidelines, and care standards is essential. This knowledge not only helps you communicate effectively with clinical teams and stakeholders but also allows you to make informed decisions, contribute meaningfully to projects, and identify opportunities for innovation within women’s health. Being familiar with accepted practices, current research, and emerging trends ensures that your work — whether in operations, research, policy, or technology — aligns with best practices and supports better outcomes. Here’s what is recommended to build that foundation:

Understanding trends and policy shifts is key if you want to make an impact or plan your next career move. Staying informed about changes in healthcare regulations, reimbursement policies, emerging technologies, and public health priorities helps professionals anticipate opportunities, identify areas of need, and align their skills with where the field is heading. This knowledge is especially valuable in women’s health, where advances in reproductive care, maternal health, menopause management, and health equity are rapidly evolving.

Connections are everything in women’s health. Building meaningful relationships can open doors to opportunities, collaborations, and career growth that aren’t always visible through traditional job postings. Here are some of the best ways to connect and grow your network:

Building your network takes time and intentionality, but these strategies create a strong foundation for growth, collaboration, and long-term impact in women’s health.

💡 Pro tip: Even sending one meaningful message or comment per week compounds over time. Relationships in women’s health are often just as valuable as skills.

We’ve partnered with Feelings Found to bring you a free, expert-led session focused entirely on burnout and how to make things more manageable. ​This conversation is led by Brogan Rossi and Rae Thomas, founders of Feelings Found, who specialize in helping high-performing individuals build emotional resilience and navigate demanding seasons with more clarity and ease.

Community Check-In: What Deserves Funding Most?

Last week, Jodi asked the community: If you had $100K, $1M, or even $500M to improve women’s health—and the investment had to touch multiple parts of the system—where would you put it? We’d love to hear your response.
