Goals & Motivations Change | Kyrin's Making Moves In 2026

We're analysing what I got up to in 2025 and changing my focus to the future.

In Episode #494 of 'Musings', Juan & I discuss: tax-optimising mistakes/language detours, fantastic one‑arm handstand progress, an only ok year in review, a new overarching theme of revitalising hunger/focus, quarterly fitness blocks (legs, pull, running, endurance) with side quests like ballet and the Brisbane Marathon 2026, moving house to get out of a malaise, pruning relationships, moderating sugar, reworking financial information diets and embracing courageous conversations.

Huge thanks to all the streamers for the support, it means a lot!
