Happy 2026! Today is going to have a different flavor from years past. There will be some familiar themes and threads since this is our 5th season talking about goals and it is something I have done since my (long ago) teenage years. Today though ... we’re talking about choosing our magic for the year ahead. The goals we’re willing to commit to. The boundaries we’re finally ready to hold. And the kind of energy we actually want to live inside of in 2026 ... not just for January, but for the whole unfolding year. Think of this episode as us sitting together at the very edge of the year, Kinda like we did last week with our big Year of the Wheel review …. candle lit, notebook open, but this time we are asking ourselves one simple question: What do I want this year to feel like?

Today, we’re going to reframe what goal-setting looks like through a witchy lens. We are doing it the witchy way! We are going to talk about goals as living spells ... things that grow and evolve over time. We’re going to talk about boundaries as protective magic, not walls, but wards. And we’re going to talk about energy as the real currency of your year, because time means nothing if you’re exhausted inside it.  There’s no overwhelm here. No massive checklist. No pressure to have it all figured out by the end of this episode.  Just clarity. Just intention. Just choosing, on purpose, how we want to walk into 2026. And the best part? We don’t have to do it alone. We’re doing this together.  Today we are asking one gentle question together: What do I actually want this year to feel like when I’m living inside it?

I also have something very personal to share with you about how our January oracle card came about. I talk about it a little bit in this episode but also have a video on it (since it was soooo impactful to me personally and to us collectively) on our Hearth & Hen video channel.

This is a big year ... and I am so thankful you are here walking it with me!

We've got this!
