Letting Go Of New Year Pressure in 2026
Hello Friends.
I’ve never been sure about New Year’s Eve. I love the idea of it, but somehow, it just leaves me feeling pressured. Like, forced fun. Forced gratitude. And so, if New Year’s Eve comes with a quiet sense of pressure for you, to decide, declare, or dramatically reinvent, this is your permission slip to set all of that down.
This week’s podcast is part two of our Christmas mini-series, and it’s another short, 10-minute episode designed to meet you right where you are. No grand resolutions. Just a gentle, thoughtful look ahead.
Where last week was about reflecting on the year that’s ending, this episode is about looking forward with kindness and purpose.
As always, this is not about fixing your life: it’s about listening to it and making small, incremental shifts that make change over time.
And once again, we’ve created a free reflective PDF to accompany the episode. It includes the questions from the podcast (and a few extras), with space to jot things down if that’s helpful for you.
My hope is that this episode helps you step into January with curiosity rather than pressure, and with an inner compass that feels a little clearer.
And, if this inspires you to start the year as you mean to go on - with positive, purposeful, do-able change in your life, then my new book is just what you need to get you going on the right track.
