January 1 often arrives with urgency—new goals, new habits, a quiet message that we should already be moving forward. However, I am here to remind us, today is a sacrid day to pause, not push.

In this episode, I invite you into the space between what was and what's next—a liminal moment where reflection, rest, and belonging matter more than becoming someone new.

You'll explore why the nervous system needs time to integrate, how constant self-improvement can pull us out of self-trust, and what it means to start the year by belonging to yourself first.

This is a conversation—and a practice—for anyone who feels tired of starting over and ready to arrive as they are.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why January 1 is a powerful transition point—not a reset button

• How pauses help the brain and nervous system process and integrate experience

• The difference between becoming and belonging—and why belonging creates real change

• A gentle reflection to help you land in the new year with presence
