January: A True New Beginning
I can’t quite put into words how excited I am to step into this New Year. It feels different—lighter, clearer, more intentional. I don’t think I’ve ever entered a year feeling this way before.
To be completely honest, 2025 was a dumpster fire of a year—and it was meant to be. Its purpose was not comfort, but truth. It carried an energy that stripped away anything that was not aligned with our highest good. The Year of the Snake asked us to shed old skins, and that shedding left many of us feeling exposed, raw, and vulnerable.
That discomfort was not a mistake. It was the contrast required for growth. Contrast teaches us. It motivates us to move forward, to decide who we are, what we desire, what truly aligns—and what must be released. One cannot understand heat without having known cold. These fires showed us what we don’t want, what can no longer remain, and what we are finally ready to let go of. As uncomfortable as it was, this year served an incredibly important purpose.
The final stretch of December reflected that perfectly—an odd mix of relief, exhaustion, release, and collapse. Many were forced into rest through illness. Others oscillated between an urgent need to purge, clean, and reorganize… and not wanting to leave their pajamas at all. This was the last clearing of the flames. The final exhale.
Take a moment to reflect on everything you’ve moved through this year. You faced fires—some of them your deepest fears and emotions. What you faced, you healed. What you healed, you released. You gained clarity, awareness, and truth, and all of it is now being used to plant the seeds for what comes next. You should be incredibly proud of how you carried yourself through this year.
January brings with it a truly fresh and awakened energy. 2026 is not a continuation of the past—it is the beginning of a new era, a year of light. We are learning to take responsibility for ourselves and our emotions, and to consciously harness our energy to create what comes next. We are releasing resistance and remembering how to live in flow, rather than in constant chaos and crisis.
This is the time to set intentions—not just mentally, but energetically. To embody what you want your next chapter to feel like. Whether you sit quietly in reflection, journal, meditate, or perform rituals that are meaningful to you, the message is clear: begin living as the version of yourself who already has what they desire. Don’t wait for it to arrive. Be it now.
From my family to yours, I wish you nothing but love, expansion, and ease in this beautiful new year ahead. ✨
