    How I End My Year And Begin Designing What's Next in 2026

    December doesn’t need to be a sprint to the finish or a full stop on the sofa. I’m sharing a gentler route that blends real life—moving home to Ireland, a seven‑month‑old who’s almost crawling, and the chaos of settling in—with a simple, powerful way to end the year feeling clear and calm. We start by integrating the year you actually lived: an energy audit using your photos or calendar to remember what lifted you and what wore you down. From there, we move into a practice I swear by—choosing a single guiding word for 2026—and show how that word can shape choices across life and work. You’ll hear why I landed on nourishment and how it reframes everything from business offers to family rhythms and home life. If structured goals light you up, I walk through turning your word into clear priorities and grounded actions. If goals feel heavy, you’ll get a lighter path that still builds momentum: define how you want to feel by next December, work backwards into what matters most, and set rhythms that fit your nature. Along the way we talk alignment, boundaries, systems that reduce drain, and the quiet power of scheduling integration so plans actually stick. Whether you’re a business owner or simply craving more intention, this conversation gives you a toolkit to close 2025 with gratitude and step into 2026 with focus. If you’re local, I’m lining up small in‑person gatherings to help you reset; there are online sessions coming too, plus a nourishing Greece retreat over Easter for deeper transformation. If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a softer December, and leave a quick review—what’s your guiding word for 2026?

    Part 3: When Knowing Becomes Action

    Imagine if self-trust didn’t arrive after success but grew because you moved before you felt ready. That’s the heartbeat of today’s conversation: turning inner knowing into aligned action, one honest decision at a time, even when courage feels wobbly and the outcome is unclear. We recap the core of our self-trust method—spotting the patterns that make us abandon ourselves, then reconnecting with the quiet truth underneath—and push into the step most of us resist: doing the thing. From rolling out the yoga mat on a flat day to pressing go on a first international retreat, I share how micro commitments create real evidence that you can hold yourself through discomfort and delight. We talk detaching from outcomes, not by pretending not to care, but by proving you can carry whatever unfolds without betraying your original yes. You’ll hear how honouring energy and boundaries keeps your path clean, and how simple practices—meditation, movement, and journalling—amplify the inner signal above fear’s static. We go deep on support too: why mentors, healers, and brave friendships can be the difference between staying stuck and stepping forward, and how heart-led investments often mark a life’s turning points. Finally, we widen the lens with yoga’s invitation to trust something greater, letting nature and ritual restore perspective so the next step stops feeling like a cliff and starts feeling like a path. If you’re sitting on a decision, consider this your nudge: the smallest aligned action counts. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs a gentle push, and leave a review to tell us the one step you’re taking today. What’s your next yes?

    Part 2: The Art Of Listening Within

    Big decisions get loud on the outside and quiet on the inside. Today we lean into that quiet and learn how to hear it clearly. I share the second step in my self-trust method: building a reliable connection to your inner voice by reading your body’s signals and practising fierce compassion for your patterns. We start with a heartfelt life update about moving home after nine years abroad and the emotions of closing a chapter in Sydney. From there, we unpack why awareness without kindness can become another stick to beat yourself with, and how compassion creates the space where real change happens. I bring in a yogic lens on the nadis to explain why breath, water, movement, and stillness matter for clarity, then translate that into simple, repeatable practices you can use today. You’ll hear a concrete decision story from my business that contrasts the “safe and familiar” option with the “stretchy and expansive” one. By mapping sensations—dullness, heaviness, brightness, tingles, heart-opening—we separate anxiety from activation and reveal what a true yes feels like in the body. Expect practical tools: a quick daily check-in, sensation mapping for choices, and ways to shift attention from external noise to internal knowing. If you’ve been second-guessing yourself, this conversation will help you recognise your inner yes, hold your nerve, and choose the path that actually fits. If this resonates, subscribe, share with a friend who needs clarity, and leave a review to help more people build self-trust. And if Greece over Easter is calling, send me a DM for the early bird link—let’s make space for your truth together.

    Meditation: Breathe in the Feeling You Desire Then Let It Lead You

    Breathe into the future you want—and feel it now. We guide a slow, grounded meditation that helps you shift from thinking about desire to embodying it, using simple cues that calm the nervous system and invite clarity. You’ll root into the earth from the base of your spine, open a bright channel of white light through the crown, and connect those currents into a steady pillar so your body feels supported, awake, and ready to receive. From that anchored place, we place hands on the heart or belly and ask a clear question: what do I truly want right now? Instead of forcing an answer, we let it arrive as a texture—confidence in the chest, abundance in the breath, freedom in the jaw, joy in the eyes. Then we give that feeling colour. With each inhale the colour brightens; with each exhale it expands through the body, into the mind, beyond the skin and into the space around you. The room starts to match the state you’re cultivating, turning visualisation into an embodied memory you can revisit any time. This practice is gentle yet potent, whether you’re seeking confidence for a tough conversation, more abundance in your creative work, or a baseline of freedom when life feels tight. Expect clear guidance, unhurried pacing, and practical imagery that helps you encode your desired state at a cellular level. If you’re ready to shorten the distance between where you are and how you want to feel, press play, breathe, and become. If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs steadiness, and leave a quick review so others can find the practice.
