Happy New Year, everyone! ✨
As the sun rises on 2026, I am sending every single one of you a massive wave of positive energy. Whether you are starting this year with a clear plan or just a quiet hope for more “me-time,” I am wishing you a year of resilience, laughter, and breakthrough moments.
Every New Year feels like a fresh page, but for me, this one feels like a whole new book.
2025: The Launchpad
To be honest, 2025 was a year of exploration for me. It was a bit “slow” in the traditional sense, but it was deeply intentional. I spent that time recalibrating, finding my true north, and getting crystal clear on where I want to take this business. While it may have looked quiet from the outside, 2025 was the year I built the foundation for everything that is about to come next.
Now, in 2026, it is time to take everything I’ve learned and turn it into something big.
🗓️ Kickstart 2026: Join Me on January 24th!
Before we dive into the big year ahead, I want to invite you to a special event to get our momentum started. To officially kickstart the year for my business and our community, I am hosting a Free Collaborative Event on January 24th.
This isn’t just a workout; it’s a chance for us to connect, share our visions for the year, and support one another as we take those first brave steps. Whether you’re a regular or brand new to the community, I want you there! DM me via email if you want to reserve your spot! Email to erikanaka@nakanakamomfitness.com
The Big Leap: Career & Business
This year, I am challenging myself like never before. I am stepping out of the “exploring” phase and putting 100% of my heart and effort into the business. While I can’t share all the details just yet—stay tuned for some “coming soon” announcements!—I can tell you this: I am starting something new and I am starting something big.
My ultimate career goal for 2026 is to connect with you on a deeper level. I want NakaNaka Mom Fitness to be more than just a fitness brand. I want it to be a place where every single member feels like they truly belong—a space where you can show up as you are and find the support you need to shine.
The Personal Challenge: 26.2 Miles at 40
Hand-in-hand with my business growth is a personal goal that scares me. I celebrated my 40th birthday this past September. Entering a new decade sparked a question: What am I capable of if I truly push my boundaries?
So, I’m saying it out loud to keep myself accountable: In 2026, I am going to run a full marathon.
I have never even run an official 5K race! Jumping from zero to 26.2 miles feels overwhelming and a little bit crazy. But turning 40 isn’t about slowing down—it’s about finding a new gear and becoming stronger, inside and out.
Let’s Do This Together
I don’t want to run this path—or grow this business—alone. This year, I am expanding our NakaNaka Mom community events to include:
- Casual Run/Walk Meetups: No pressure, just getting together to move.
- NakaNaka Race Team: We pick a local race and cross the finish line together.
- Strength & Growth Programs: Training designed to build the muscle and the mindset needed to conquer any goal, whether it’s a marathon or a career shift.
Your 2026
What is that “scary” goal you’ve been whispering to yourself? Whatever it is, 2026 isn’t the year for “waiting until you’re ready.” It’s the year to embrace the NakaNaka spirit—finding that “just right” balance between where you are and where you’re going, and moving toward it with relentless persistence.
I want to provide the place where you shine. Let’s be stronger together. Let’s build muscle, build business, and build the lives we’ve been dreaming of.
Wishing you your best, strongest, and most joyful year yet!
With strength and love,
Erika Nakamura
