If the thought of “new year, new you” leaves you feeling frazzled, this episode is your gentle exhale. 

Kaylie and Delores invite you to approach 2026 with spaciousness rather than sprinting, focusing on clarity, soft structure and making room for real life. 

From clearing moving boxes and nurturing family routines to batching creative work and leaning on AI assistants, they share what’s actually working for them — and how you can apply it in your own creative practice.

Hear Kaylie explain why she’s prioritising simplification and ease this year, 

Delores reflects on the power of pre‑planning and how her AI helper “Piper” helped her translate a chaotic calendar into a doable annual plan. 

They also celebrate community wins, from new art businesses to published books, and remind you that simply keeping your creative spark alive is worth honouring.

Key takeaways:

• A “reset” doesn’t mean starting from scratch — it’s about gentle rebalancing and rebuilding after a busy season.
 • Clarity and simplification are guiding themes for both hosts in 2026.
 • Lean on systems and tools that reduce friction: sticky notes, Airtable, ClickUp, Notion, Google Workspace and AI assistants like Piper or Kaylen.
 • Protect creative days and rebuild creative muscles with low‑pressure sessions; progress matters more than perfection.
 • Celebrate every win, big or small. Launching a card line, self‑publishing a book or simply keeping your ideas alive all count.

Tune in for a dose of permission to slow down, reset kindly and build momentum from a place of calm.
