In this Christmas special episode of The Energetic Shift, I’m talking to women who feel restless, fed up, switched on, or like they’re ready for more as the year wraps up.
If part of you wants a break but another part of you is already thinking about what’s next, this episode is for you.
This isn’t about grinding your way through December.
And it’s not about pretending you’re done for the year either.
It’s about being honest about the fact that for ambitious women, December is often when you realise you’ve outgrown where you are. Not because anything’s gone wrong, but because you’re ready for the next level.
In this episode, I get straight into why Christmas can feel uncomfortable when you’re evolving, why ambition doesn’t suddenly disappear just because it’s festive, and why wanting more doesn’t make you ungrateful or hard to please.
I talk openly about what’s actually going on beneath the surface at this time of year and share clear, no-nonsense insights to help you think about who you’re becoming in 2026 without forcing plans or pretending you’ve got it all figured out.
If you’re sat there with your laptop, a brew, and half an eye on Christmas while your brain is already in next year, you’ll feel very seen by this one.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why December can feel frustrating when you’ve outgrown your current setup
- The difference between resting and switching yourself off
- Why thinking about next year now doesn’t mean you’re doing Christmas wrong
- How to hold ambition and presence at the same time
- Why wanting more doesn’t make you “too much”
- A big announcement about what’s coming for The Energetic Shift in January 2026
January 2026 marks a new era for The Energetic Shift podcast, with deeper conversations, more honesty, more bite, and energy that actually matches the woman you’re becoming.
This episode is the line in the sand between who you’ve been and what you’re stepping into next.
