About this episode
This episode is not what you think it is.
It is not a hustle-forward, all-gas-no-breaks charge to a new year.
But it is also not a total rejection of the new year.
It is a subtle and soft invitation into moving forward with reflection, ritual, and intention.
Through redefining and examining our relationship with "locking in," or what we turn out focus towards, we can refine our communion with newness in a way that feels true to us.
This episode offers a three-phase process to entering - might we even say *sauntering* - into the new year in a way that will allow our new year practices to feel like sustainable daily rhythms rather than temporary sprints & quick fixes.
This is a conversation about where and how we spend our time & attention, and will give you a framework of tools to carry forward as you reflect on the previous year and look ahead at the new one.
It asks two questions to answer honestly, poignantly, (and to take time meditating upon):
What have you been locked into in 2025?
And what are you ready to unlock in 2026?
These questions aren't so much asking to be answered directly, yet used as pointers to the emerging answers within you that come from peering inwards and sitting with self.
May these suggestions support you as you continue to evolve & figure sh!t out in 2026.
