    Align Your Chakras

    *Mariah Carey Whistle Tone*  It’s tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime to review the past year. For our last episode of the year, join us as we reflect on the good, the bad, the ugly of what was 2025. We use the chakras to tailor the conversation and check in with the different parts of our lives to help us figure out what we’ll be doing to make 2026 “our year” as the girlies say. Break out your journal and reflect with us! Sources: https://www.elephantjournal.com/2016/02/a-15-question-chakra-check-in-to-keep-us-attuned-to-our-intentions/  Challenge:  Challenge 1) Wear the color of the chakra you want to unblock next year on New Year's Day. Challenge 2) Journal about an area of your life that you saw growth (or didn’t) and find ways that you will keep it going (or make things better) in 2026.
