Welcome to 2026 - Season 3 Debut! of our podcast: Empower Her - The Help We Need.

This is a year we didn’t rush into by our own strength, but one we arrived at by grace. This episode is an invitation to pause and begin the year gently. No pressure. No resolutions. No need to have everything figured out.

If you are entering this year feeling hopeful, tired, unsure, grateful, or somewhere in between, you are in the right place.

In this episode, we explore what it means to start well, not fast.

Rather than resolutions, I share a simple, compassionate framework for 2026: (1) Evaluate. (2) Engage. (3) Embrace.

Together, we reflect on:

• Letting go of the pressure to reinvent yourself at the start of the year.

• Evaluating the past without judgment or self-criticism.

• Engaging intentionally with what is already in front of you.

• Embracing your current season with faith, grace, and trust in God’s timing.

• Creating rhythms that support your spiritual, mental, and emotional well-being.

This podcast is not about having it all together. It is about learning to walk wisely - together.

My invitation to you is simple:

• Don’t rush your becoming.

• Don’t ignore your weariness.

• Don’t walk alone.

We are starting well - together.
