   "Is It Over Yet?!" How to Find Peace and Joy in 2026

   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.

   How to Let Go of Control and Finally Feel at Peace

   In this episode, I share a truth I’ve had to confront myself: most of my stress, frustration, and anger were actually fear in disguise. Fear of things not working out, fear of losing control, fear of not being enough. And the more I tried to control everything, the more fear I created. I talk about how choosing trust—trust in the universe, trust in the process, trust in myself—helped me release that fear and find a deeper sense of peace. It all begins with shifting your feelings in the moment. How to recognize when “stress” is really fear Why control creates anxiety instead of safety How faith and trust soften fear instantly A simple practice to shift your emotional state When you let go of controlling everything, you create space for peace, clarity, and calm. If this episode resonates, share it with another woman who needs the reminder that she doesn’t have to hold it all together alone.

Inside a recent episode

"Is It Over Yet?!" How to Find Peace and Joy in 2026

Published 22 Dec 2025 · Transcript excerpt

[…] The horse represents strength and independence and forward momentum, it's associated with movement and stamina and freedom, the kind that comes from trusting yourself and choosing your own direction. This is a year that favors action overthinking, progress over perfection, motion over stagnation. The horse doesn't tiptoe, it doesn't second -guess every step, it moves strong with confidence, sometimes imperfectly, sometimes boldly, but always forward. The year of the horse is also about personal power and authenticity. It rewards people who are willing to be honest about what they want, set boundaries, and stop living according to other people's expectations. […]
