Episode Summary As 2026 approaches, Maria guides listeners through practical preparation for the Year of the Fire Horse - a powerful time for bold moves, passion, and momentum. This episode releases the pressure of "getting it right" and focuses on alignment, clarity, and readiness. Maria shares journaling exercises for releasing 2025, getting specific about desires, building worthiness, and working with Fire Horse energy (freedom, movement, power, passion).
