#252 You're NOT Behind! Releasing 2025 and Entering 2026 Right

It has been a long five years since the pandemic, and I completely understand if your growth feels invisible.  Before you rush into new goals, routines, or resolutions for 2026, this is your permission to pause, reflect, and move forward with clarity instead of pressure. In this episode of Happiness in Progress, I walk you through how to intentionally close the Year of the Snake (2025) and step into the Year of the Horse (2026). I love the idea that the Year of the Snake set up the Year of the Horse. We're not starting over. We are continuing the work. New year, same you. What You'll Learn: Why slow growth isn't a waste How the Year of the Snake prepared you for visible growth What the Year of the Horse invites you to embody in 2026 Reflection questions to release what no longer fits How to set intentions without burnout or overwhelm Here are the questions you can revisit when you're next to your journal: Releasing 2025 What did I outgrow in 2025? What truth became clear? Where did I learn to trust myself more? What felt slow but but was actually necessary? What am I ready to leave behind? Entering 2026 Where am I ready to stop hiding or waiting for permission? What decision have I already made internally that needs action? Where do I want more space or ease this year? Let's connect!
