by Kathleen McBride
For overthinkers, feelers & recovering chill girls. This podcast is part voice note, part pep talk, part “I probably shouldn’t tell this story, but here we are.” We spiral, we cry, we self-reflect and then we figure out what the hell to do next. Messy, hilarious, real-AF healing for people who are tired of pretending they’re fine. Created by Kathleen McBride, a coach, counsellor-in-training & emotionally intelligent chaos human navigating the messy middle too.

<p>What if 2026 wasn’t about getting it right…<br>but about giving yourself permission to fail?</p><p>In this episode, I’m sharing a softer way to enter the new year, one that doesn’t require a perfect plan, endless goals, or burning yourself out trying to do everything.</p><p>We talk about:</p><ul><li><p>Why trying to hold everything as “important” leads to overwhelm</p></li><li><p>How to use your values to decide what actually matters in 2026</p></li><li><p>Why making mistakes might be the most powerful thing you do this year</p></li><li><p>Letting go of pressure, perfection, and unrealistic timelines</p></li><li><p>Allowing the year ahead to be a dance, not a performance</p></li></ul><p>If you’re feeling hopeful and overwhelmed as the new year approaches, this episode is a reminder: you don’t need to have it all figured out, you just need to do what matters.</p><p><br></p>

<p>If you’re crawling to the finish line of 2025 and your brain is doing that end-of-year thing where it starts tallying everything you didn’t do, this episode is your permission slip to exhale.</p><p>We’re shifting out of measuring success through productivity, and into something softer: self-compassion, acceptance, and noticing the small moments that added up, even if it didn’t look “impressive” from the outside.</p><p>Because if you’re feeling fear, shame, comparison, loneliness, Christmas triggers, or that quiet “I let myself down this year” ache, you are so not alone.</p><p>Gentle reflection questions (no pressure, no perfection):</p><ul><li><p>What did this year ask of me?</p></li><li><p>What did I survive that I don’t give myself credit for?</p></li><li><p>Who did I become because of what I went through?</p></li><li><p>Where did I keep going, even quietly, even imperfectly?</p></li></ul><p>Want coaching in 2026?<br>If you want to be added to the waitlist, DM the word COACHING to @kathleen.mindsetcoach on Instagram, or email the word coaching to <a href="" rel="noopener">kathleenmindsetcoach@gmail.com</a></p><p>See you in 2026!</p>
