New Year Reset for 2026: Habits, Intentions & a Stranger Things Theory | Ep 27

from The Home Stretch Pod · host Elise Burton

In this episode, I’m sharing a calm, honest reset for the year ahead and talking you through what I’m intentionally focusing on for 2026. Rethinking New Year’s resolutions to choosing habits that actually feel sustainable, this is a gentle but motivating start to the year. I chat about becoming part of the 5am club (why I’m doing it and what I hope it gives me), prioritising flexibility and movement over pressure, and trying new hobbies like skipping (not for aesthetics, but for energy and consistency). We also talk about letting go of unrealistic expectations, creating routines that support your real life, and choosing goals that align with who you’re becoming. And because this podcast is never just about goals… I also go on a little Stranger Things tangent, sharing my theories and why a future episode might need to be dedicated entirely to it 👀✨ If you want 2026 to feel intentional, grounded, aligned with a little pop culture chat thrown in.. this episode is for you 🤍 🎧 Listen now and grab your cuppa. 🔔 don’t forget to like, subscribe & hit the bell for new episodes every Monday at 11am! subscribe to the podcast on: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | wherever you get your podcasts 🎧 📱 come say hi on TikTok & Insta: @thehomestretchpod work with me 💌 [email protected] DISCLAIMER: Everything discussed in this podcast is based on personal experiences and is for informational and entertainment purposes only.
