Are you feeling the pressure of the end of the year?

What if you could let go of that pressure and actually feel renewed going into 2026? 

What if that pressure is the very thing cutting you off from what you truly need and want?

Today, Stephanie and Maren share their unconventional point of view regarding resolutions, goals and pushing through. Their engaging conversation meanders through personal stories and examples where they show a practical way to exit the drama triangle, share how to create space, and use the breath and inner listening to restore true choice.

If you are ready to turn frustration into gold and get the most out of this beautiful season of renewal, today’s podcast is for you.

•  the difference between needs and wants
•  conditioning and labels that narrow choice
•  victim and violator
•  pivot out of reactivity
•  breath and space as neurological resets
•  the theater technique for objective awareness
•  choosing your inner state
•  moving from rescuer to inner coach
•  real-life example of reframing frustration
•  group practice through the 12 Days of Presence

They also invite you into the 12 Days of Presence, a gentle, email-based group practice that maps the days of Christmas to the months ahead, helping you seed your year with awareness instead of pressure. No mandatory calls, no perfectionism—just a supportive rhythm that rewires your brain toward choice and centers you in what truly matters.
