from endings to renewal: entering a new cycle in 2026
Mon Jan 05 2026
From 2020 to 2025, everything cracked open.
The plans we thought were solid dissolved. Identities fell apart. Coping mechanisms stopped working. And whether we were ready or not, we were asked to meet ourselves more honestly than ever before.
In this episode, Aya reflects on the collective initiation of the last five years - what it meant to live through constant uncertainty, emotional shedding, and deep personal reckoning. She shares her own story of identity loss, nervous system recalibration, and learning how to listen to the quieter, truer voice beneath the noise.
As we step into 2026, we’re closing out a powerful cycle of endings and entering a new season of renewal, movement, and embodied direction. This conversation explores what it means to consciously release what no longer fits, honor what shaped us, and intentionally call in the next version of our lives - without bypassing the grief, fear, or tenderness that comes with change.
This is not a “new year, new you” conversation.It’s a remembering. It's raw and intimate. A recalibration.An invitation to move forward with clarity instead of force.
If you’ve felt like the last few years broke you open and you’re ready to choose what comes next this episode is for you.
