"Is It Over Yet?!" How to Find Peace and Joy in 2026
Mon Dec 22 2025
If you’re sick to death of 2025, this episode is for you.
This year has been filled with chaos, toxicity, and emotional exhaustion and many of us are done just trying to “stay positive.” In this episode, I'm talking about what it means to move out of the darkness and into the light as we look toward 2026.
Inspired by the return of longer days and the symbolism of the Year of the Horse, this conversation is about forward motion, personal power, and action — not wishful thinking.
In this episode, we explore:
Why so many of us feel emotionally drained and over it this year
How the return of light reminds us that nothing stays dark forever
What the Year of the Horse represents — strength, independence, stamina, and movement
Why hope without action keeps us stuck
How volunteering and service reconnect us to purpose and power
Why midlife women don’t need to tolerate drama, chaos, or anyone else’s nonsense
How to protect your peace, set boundaries, and walk away without guilt
What reclaiming your power actually looks like heading into 2026
This episode is a reminder that optimism matters but action is what changes everything.
