The Myth of the Clean Slate

from Sky High Coaching Conversations · host Janelle Ryan

A new year doesn’t make us new people, and that’s not a problem.In this episode, we explore why January is more symbolic than magical, and how this moment can still be a powerful pause if we choose it to be. I share a grounded reflection on the shift from the Year of the Snake (shedding and discernment) into the Year of the Horse (movement, momentum and direction), and why this is an ideal time to focus on intentional expansion rather than reinvention.If you’d like to dive in with me, grab a notebook and reflect as you listen, or save this episode and return to it when you have space. You’ll be guided through two options: • a quick, surface-level reflection for those wanting efficiency • and a deeper series of journalling questions for those ready to dive inward and uncover real insight.  Take your time. Find the space. And let this be a conversation with yourself.If you’d like to be the first to hear about Sky High Coaching's 2026 offerings, you’re warmly invited to join our email community by emailing [email protected] us!
