    Beginning the Year in My Own Time

    In this first episode of 2026, I'm reflecting on the new year and why the usual rush of goal setting and reinvention may not resonate right now. I talk about winter as a season of slowing down, turning inward, and honoring the quieter rhythms that often get overlooked when the calendar flips.  I share how I personally relate to beginnings and why my birthday and other seasonal markers feel more aligned for fresh starts than January first. This episode explores the idea that there are many ways to begin again, and that it is okay to move slowly, check in with yourself, and choose what truly feels supportive.  I also reflect on what I'm carrying forward this year, including a deeper commitment to authenticity, writing, and sharing from a place of genuine excitement rather than performance. I talk about my desire to prioritize creativity, build nourishing routines, and create supportive spaces for connection, including a new writing circle. This episode is an invitation to soften into the start of the year, to release pressure, and to trust your own timing as you move toward what feels true for you.

    The Stories That Carried Me Through

    In this final episode of 2025, I'm taking a moment to pause, reflect, and gently close out a year that asked so much of me. I talk about how this season has been shaped by grief, change, and the slow shedding of an old identity, and how I am beginning to look toward the future with more clarity and softness.  I share a collection of five short personal essays written during 2024, each capturing a different moment of healing, uncertainty, and self-discovery. These pieces explore what it means to slow down, to sit with vulnerability, to release the need for certainty, and to honor the quieter truths that surface when we stop performing for the world.  This episode is an invitation to reflect on the stories that shaped you this year and to notice what feels ready to be released as you move forward. Sometimes closing a chapter looks like listening, remembering, and allowing yourself to carry only what still feels true.

    Choosing Depth Over Hustle

    In this episode, I'm checking in and sharing honestly about a season that has been feeling heavy. I talk about what it has been like to move through grief that does not always have a clear trigger, and how sensitivity can feel both like a gift and a challenge. As the days grow darker and quieter, I reflect on the tension between wanting to feel less and realizing that feeling deeply is part of what makes life meaningful to me.  I share what recent experiences with numbness taught me about my relationship to emotion and presence, and why I am learning to honor the need for rest, slowness, and care during periods of deep inner change. This season has invited me to release old patterns around achievement, productivity, and proving my worth, and to trust that who I am is already enough.  This episode is a reflection on grief, identity, and the quiet work of becoming. It is an invitation to honor your feelings, notice the subtle ways you are moving forward, and allow yourself to live more deeply rather than more quickly.   Kim Kogane is a writer and intuitive guide helping you navigate the tender in-between seasons of life.

    Choosing the Path That Feels True

    In this episode, I'm sharing something that feels especially tender. I talk about how this season of transition and grief helped clarify what I truly feel called to do next. After years of exploring different paths following the closure of my jewelry business, I found myself returning to a deeper desire to share my voice and tell stories.  I open up about my journey into writing fiction and what it has been like to work on my first novel. I share how the characters found me, why the process has felt both scary and meaningful, and how learning to show up without knowing the outcome has become part of the work.  This episode is an invitation to name what you truly want, even when it feels vulnerable to do so. Sometimes the next chapter asks us to step into the unknown and trust that the path will meet us there.

    Inviting Magic Into the Everyday

    In this episode, I'm exploring what it means to bring more magic and meaning into everyday life. I talk about the familiar phrase everything happens for a reason and how my relationship with that idea has shifted over the years. Rather than looking for the perfect belief system, I am learning that meaning often comes from our natural desire to understand our lives and to connect with something greater than ourselves. I share how returning to simple moments of presence, especially on walks with my dog, has helped me tap back into a sense of curiosity and enchantment. Nature has become a place where I soothe my nervous system, notice patterns, and allow myself to feel a little more wonder. Whether I am paying attention to a flower, a bird, or a repeating number, these small encounters help me slow down and trust the path I'm on. This episode is an invitation to notice where magic already lives in your world and to consider how you might welcome more of it in. Meaning does not need to be grand or certain. Sometimes it begins with the smallest moments of awe that remind you you are part of something larger. Wherever you are today, I hope you take good care while the waves carry you closer.

    Where Intuition Meets the In-Between

    In this episode, I'm sharing the story of how tarot became a meaningful part of my life and why I've recently felt myself reconnecting with it in a deeper way. I talk about my first experience with the cards in 2017 and how seen I felt when a simple spread reflected back everything I had been carrying. It became the beginning of a practice that helped me slow down, listen inward, and trust what I was feeling. I also revisit the early days of learning the cards through journaling and small daily pulls, and how reading for friends and strangers slowly opened a new sense of purpose for me. Over time, I began to notice how often people came to me during seasons of transition and uncertainty, and how tarot created a gentle starting point for connection. In this episode, I reflect on the joy of recent readings, the trust I'm building with myself, and the way tarot continues to support my intuition and my work. My hope is that this conversation encourages you to explore the tools that help you feel grounded and guided, especially when you are moving through an in-between season.

    When Life Pulls You Toward a New Shore

    I'm so grateful to share this space with you and to talk about how this new chapter began. In this episode, I'm reflecting on the unexpected turns that shaped the start of my year. A simple day trip reminded me how much I loved my life, and only a week later, I received a letter telling me I had to leave the home that had become my sanctuary. I talk about what it felt like to be pushed into an in-between season and how losing my dad shortly after changed the ground beneath me. It was a time that asked me to soften, to grieve, and to trust the quiet pull toward what was coming next, even when nothing felt steady. I also share how The Shoreline grew out of this tender space and why these transitions have become such an important part of my work. My hope is that this episode helps you feel less alone in whatever you are moving through and reminds you that your next becoming is already forming gently within you.   Kim Kogane is a writer and intuitive guide helping you navigate the tender in-between seasons of life.
