As the year turns, this episode is an invitation to slow down instead of speed up.

In a culture that treats January like a starting gun, I’m choosing a different approach to resetting for 2026—one rooted in evidence-backed rest, intentional recovery, and spiritual grounding, rather than pressure or hustle.

In this episode:

  • Why rest and recovery are foundational, when entering a new year
  • What research actually says about rest, nervous system regulation, and sustainable performance
  • The specific rest practices I’m using to reset mentally, physically, and emotionally
  • How spirituality is guiding my intentions for 2026 
  • Reflections from my Spotify Wrapped— thank you!

Whether you’re feeling burnt out, unmotivated, or simply craving a gentler start, this episode offers permission to begin the year rested, regulated, and rooted.

If this episode resonates, consider sharing it with someone who needs a reminder that rest is productive.

As always, thank you so much for listening this year 🤍 I couldn't do it without you!
