135: Set Your Intention For 2026 Using Meditation, Numerology & Tarot

In this Substack Live conversation, Katie Farinas is joined by fellow midlife coach Sue McCreedie to explore the powerful difference between setting goals and living from soul-aligned intentions. Both Katie and Sue share their journeys from medical professionals into midlife coaching, and why the new year is a natural inflection point—a time to reflect, release, and consciously choose what we want to bring forward. They discuss why goals often leave us feeling like we either succeed or fail, while intentions allow us to live in alignment with our deepest values and soul’s desires. From that place, aligned goals can naturally emerge. Sue introduces numerology and explains how it can guide us through 2025 and 2026. Tarot cards are used as symbolic mirrors for each year, helping tap into the subconscious. Katie then guides Sue through a body scan, breathwork, heart chakra activation, and visualization meditation to connect with a soul word for 2026. Listeners are invited to play along, reflect, and listen for what their own soul is asking for next. 👉 Watch the full episode and see the tarot cards used on Katie’s YouTube channel: Chapters 00:00 – Show Intro Show overview 10:00 Origins & Callings Katie and Sue share their paths from healthcare into midlife coaching and what called them toward purpose-driven work with women. 15:10– Intention Versus Goals Why goals can feel rigid and draining, and how intentions create alignment, clarity, and freedom in midlife. 23:40 – Numerology Year Themes Sue explains numerology and how different years carry distinct energetic guidance for reflection and growth. 23:00 – Tarot As Reflection Using tarot as a symbolic tool to access subconscious wisdom and explore what each year represents. 39:30 – Breathwork Body Awareness A grounding body scan and breathwork practice to calm the nervous system and quiet the thinking mind. 43:26 – Heart Chakra Activation Katie guides a visualization meditation to connect with the heart and receive a soul-aligned word for 2026. 49:00 Katie and Sue Reflect On Their Individual Experience 57:00 – Releasing Old Identities Why letting go of what no longer serves you is essential for stepping into an expanded, energized self. 1:01 Outro About Katie Farinas Katie Farinas is a midlife coach, yoga teacher, and spiritual guide who helps women navigate midlife with clarity, peace, purpose, and empowerment.
