Hello friends, Happy New Year! 

As we turn the page on 2025, I wanted to speak about something honestly: last year was really hard. Not just busy or challenging, but emotionally heavy. For those of us who live with anxiety — and especially for our beautiful LGBTQ+ community — last year asked a lot of our nervous systems, our hearts, and our sense of safety in the world.

Today’s episode isn’t about rushing into an expected “new year, new you” energy or pretending that everything is "fine." It’s about slowing down, telling the truth about what the past year has taken from us, and honoring what we’ve survived and how we are going to step into 2026 with intention and clarity.

Together, we’ll reflect on the year behind us, release what no longer serves us, and step into a new season with care, compassion, and connection — not pressure or perfection.

If you’re tired, anxious, or unsure how to close out the year we just had, how to get back into your own body and actually create a powerful new year, you’re not alone. This one's for you.  Welcome to the conversation.
