  • EP. 178 | 🎙️ Why This Is the Season to Reset—Before the Next Chapter Begins
    Feb 3 2026

    February often arrives quietly, but it carries powerful invitations for reflection, release, and renewal. In this solo episode, I share why this is a season to reset—not because something is wrong, but because something new is emerging.

    This conversation is an invitation to pause, listen, and intentionally prepare for what’s next without carrying the weight of the last chapter. If you’re feeling tired, reflective, or standing at the edge of transition, this episode offers grounding, perspective, and permission to reset with grace.

    📝 Reflection Questions

    You're invited to journal, reflect, or sit with these questions throughout the week:

    1. What am I still holding that no longer belongs in my next chapter?

    2. Where in my life am I rushing instead of allowing myself to reset?

    3. What kind of rest—emotional, mental, or spiritual—do I need most right now?

    4. How can I honor this season without pressure to have everything figured out?

    5. What would it look like to move forward feeling lighter and more aligned?
