309 - Easing into 2026 vs. Being Pressured by New Year Hype
Monday, 5 January, 2026
This episode of the podcast truly sets the tone for what's ahead: a slower, more intentional start to 2026 that is grounded in truth, humor, reflection, and trust, so if you have ever felt pressure to rush forward before you're ready, then this conversation will feel like permission to breathe. Jill welcomes everyone to the first episode of 2026! Tune in as she opens up with a heartfelt welcome and a moment of celebration after discovering Spotify Wrapped named the show a 2025 marathon show, fan favorite, and one of the most shared podcasts of the year! Jill breaks down what those numbers actually mean (nearly 1,000% growth in new listeners, increased followers, and global reach) while grounding the win in gratitude for the community and team behind the scenes! Jill's conversation then shifts into something far more personal, with her reflecting on a holiday season that didn't look the way she expected: a Christmas without her family home, without beloved decorations, with illness, only fragments of time with all five kids together, etc., and she shares how those changes stirred old childhood wounds that she points out are tied to scarcity, safety, and control. She also discusses how the loss of aesthetic rituals revealed just how much they mattered to her, not out of perfectionism but as a form of healing and self-expression! Jill also features stories of last-minute wrapping paper, forced "Christmas Eve," and learning to laugh at herself when things fall apart, and she revisits her now-signature practice of closing out a year intentionally, explaining why she doesn't rush into January 1st as a clean slate. Jill discusses slowing down, reflecting, releasing, and allowing the year to end on a proper note before welcoming the next. She draws from lunar rhythms, personal intuition, and years of guiding others through this process, and rather than resolutions or hustle, Jill invites listeners into stillness, clarity, and boundaries as preparation for the coming year of the Fire Horse!
