Episode 38: Visioning with Joy: Our Vision Board Experience

Send us Fan MailVision Boards, Joy, and Gentle Intentions for the New YearIn this first episode of the new year, Emma and I slow things down and do something a little different. Instead of resolutions or pressure-filled goals, we explore joy-centered vision boards—using curiosity, imagination, and reflection to envision how we want the year to feel, not just what we want to do.Together, we talk honestly about grief, grace, manifestation, creativity, care, and becoming—while building digital vision boards in Canva using questions that invite softness, clarity, and hope.Chapters01:16 New Year Reflections and Grief02:18 Vision Boards and Manifestation05:26 Creating Digital Vision Boards11:01 Morning Routines and Peaceful Beginnings15:30 Creativity and Personal Joy19:09 Becoming and Identity22:23 Care, Rest, and Protection24:34 Understanding and Being Understood25:21 Protecting Yourself from Negativity28:41 Advocating for Fairness and Empathy29:57 Feeling Seen and Recognized37:22 Hopes, Dreams, and Gentle Intentions47:50 Conclusion and Call to ActionJoy-Centered Vision Board Questions from the EpisodeYou’re invited to reflect on these questions as you create your own board:If this year had a feeling, what would it be?What feeling do I want to return to when things feel hard?What kind of mornings do I want more of?What do I want to create just because it makes me happy?Who am I becoming this year?What do I need more of to feel cared for?What do I want to protect my joy from?Where do I feel most seen?What do I want to try this year without pressure?Connect with Me:Instagram: @natural_inclinationYoutube: @naturalinclinationTikTok: Amber SessomsLinkedIn: Dr. Amber M.
