Will You Ride the Fire Horse of 2026?

The calendar flips and with it comes a clean, electric charge: a chance to lay down what dimmed us in 2025 and choose a braver, clearer way to live. I open the year by naming the endings that mattered—approval chasing, over-sharing sacred insights, and that old reflex to control—and celebrate the muscles that grew: courage in uncertainty, a love for adventure, and deeper trust in intuition and God. 

I reflect on the power of a nine-year cycle closing and what a “year one” invites: initiation, self-definition, and momentum. Think fire horse energy—fast, focused, and alive—tempered by grounded presence. 

Happy New Year, Humanityville! Let's ALL ride this wild Fire Stallion bareback, shall we??

PLEASE Like, subscribe and share this podcast! I would be so incredibly grateful. 

As always

Great health, vibrant energy and PEACE to us all!

New Year, New Energy

SPEAKER_00 0:00

This is our moment of embarking. All things are hopeful in the beginning. We prepare ourselves to start anew. And though we may all be intent on the magnificent journey ahead, all things are contained in these very first moments. Our optimism, our faith, our resolutions, and yes, even our innocence, our blank canvas. So happy new year, Humanityville, and welcome to 2026 as we begin the wild ride of the fire horse. And I welcome you back to Free to Just Be, the podcast coming alongside humanity on this incredible awakening journey. And I am your host, Teresa Marie, an ambassador of Qi, here to come alongside you as we step out of the noise of the world and back into the quiet truths within our own body, hearts, and soul. And this is a podcast for every one of us who feels the pull to step out of our old patterns, our old programs, and the dang emotional heaviness that the Matrix brings and step into lives of presence, purpose, and deeper connection. So as I begin 2026 sharing my own experiences, I hope that it will spur all of you out there in Humanityville to also want to try new things. And we are gonna reconnect with what the Matrix has tried and tried to steal from us, our peace, our intuition, our community, and most importantly, our relationship with God. So if you're ready to breathe again, feel deeply again, and flow with God Himself. And if you're ready to remember who you really are and why you came to this planet, you've come to the right place. Welcome to Free to Just Be. Well, baby, baby, baby, we made it through 2025. And man, was it a wild, wild ride in 2025, was it not? And uh many of us arrived in 25, and many of us arrived because we left a lot of our baggage behind. 2025 was the end of a nine-year cycle, if you follow um any part of numerology, and it was a year of endings, of letting go. A lot of our programs were revealed, and we had the choice to leave them behind. I know I left many, many, many programs behind this year. And before we talk about 2026, I just want to share some of the lessons that I personally learned in 2025. I don't know about y'all, but um November and December are always the months that I choose to really begin to look back and see where I was, where I am, and then define where I'd like to go in the next year. And some of those lessons were super, super hard for Theresa Marie this year, but man, a year of endings. You know, in numerology, it's nine-year cycles. And 2025 literally was the end. It was a nine-year, and it's over. And it was over for me about the start of November. I could already feel the new energy of 2026. That fire horse. Oh yeah, baby, the year of the snake is over. Snake was on the ground, it was a little bit of a slower pace. Um we were really focused. I was very focused on the things that no longer were serving me that had to go, had to go, had to go. And now we are starting year one. So some of the lessons that I have gleaned and looked back on the last uh six weeks or so, um, I love travel and adventure. Oh my goodness. I I I know that I I will never ever live in Miami, for example. I I didn't like that city at all. Uh we traveled to Kentucky and uh I made my trek back from my five and a half, almost six months of living in Florida. But I love adventure and I want more of it in 2026. 2025, I definitely confirmed and and proved to myself that I am one courageous, strong woman. I faced a lot of unknown um destinations. I I literally traveled to Florida not even knowing where I was gonna live, where I was gonna land my head. I I walked through a lot of dark times and rose above them. And so that was massive for me. Um so I know that no matter what happens in my future, God's given me a lot of courage. We all have a lot of courage. Sometimes we just need to tap into it. I learned that not everyone is actually how they present themselves. Unfortunately, this year, through many um relationships, I found that there's always an underbelly. We live in the 3D um timeline here on the planet, a um a construct of dualities. So with the good, there's always the bad, and that is within us as well. Um and I discovered that there are many, many wolves in sheep's clothing, and I fell prey numerous times this year and learned a lot of lessons about them. Um, and massive for me was walking away from some of those uh unhealthy programs. I also found that my intuition never fails me, and I will forever follow my gut. I will never stop my intuition from flowing. That is one of the biggest matrix programmings, and and that is that we can't trust our intuitions, that we can't trust our gut, that we need to shut that up, and that is absolutely the reverse of the truth. We have this incredible spidey sense within us. That's our intuition, and I've done many episodes in 2025. In fact, um I picked up this podcast again. I I had left for just about a year. Um, as I uh went on the year of 2024 into 25, was a year of solitude and really getting myself attuned with my God and with what was going on with me, really be beginning to delve in deeper ways than I ever have in 42 years of seeking. And I shut everything down, and I that was the best thing, and maybe that's where you need to begin in 2026 to have time, solo time, worked into every one of your days. But that was big for me, and in May I picked up Free to Just Be Again, got behind the mic, and between May and December 25th, I laid down 99 episodes. And isn't it ironic? No coinky dink that in a nine-year I ended up with 99 episodes. Isn't that so cool? God is so freaking cool. Some of the other lessons. Um, I don't owe anyone an X explanation for my life choices. I have spent a lot of my life seeking approval from others, and that I left behind. I ended in 2025. Nobody needs to know why or who or where I'm heading. That is between me and God, and uh I am done with trying to justify my life to anyone. I also learned to keep my dreams and visions and revelations to myself. Sometimes I found for years I would get so excited about what the Holy Spirit was laying on my heart that I wanted to share it with others. And I I have realized in 2025 that that is not necessarily wisdom. Often the Spirit is just speaking to you individually. And when we share things in our excitement and in our exuberance, it it often short circuits because what will happen is the people in our life will not understand our vision or our dreams or our downloads because it's our personal assignments, it's our personal truths, it's our personal lessons, right? And they'll poo-poo it away, or they'll question it, or or they'll say, Well, that's ridiculous, or as I've experienced, they will just continue to think that you're weird. And I'm here to tell you, be weird, but keep your mouth shut. Don't share everything with everybody. Use your black and white marble notebooks, document for your own good, document for um posterity. Uh, you know, after you leave, there may be incredible nuggets of truth in your journal, and you're gonna be in another dimension, in another timeline, and maybe your notes and documentations of the dreams, visions, and downloads that you receive could help another. But don't short circuit the things that God is trying to speak to you as an individual. So that was a big lesson for me. Big, big years of um lessons. Um the hardest ones for me, and they are the the two biggest lessons that I've learned, and I'm still in the learning, um, I am in 101 classes for both of these. And I don't know which one was the biggest because they're both so huge. One is that I am not in control. Well, we all know this, um, and I am a big controller, that is my survival instinct. Um, I felt very controlled as a child. I felt like I couldn't speak my own mind, I couldn't have my own thoughts, I was told what to do and how to be, and I uh very fervently fought against that, and thus my controller was born way back as a child. Because uh when you're told, you know, not to cry, when you're told um do as I say, right? Um, that's what births that survival instinct. And so I discovered in 2025 that life flows a whole lot easier when I get in the dang canoe and let life lead me, let God lead me, take my hands off the steering wheel and say, God, I'm gonna let you drive, and I'm gonna be shotgun, and my ego is gonna be in the backseat. That was a biggie, and and it is definitely um something that the enemy of my soul, the darkness, will come back and try to resurrect. I'm well aware of this already. The other hardest lesson this year was that those we love the most are often those who misunderstand or rather should I say, understand or get us the least. And uh I definitely have experienced that this year. Um children and grandchildren and and dear, dear relationships that I've held close to my heart for a long, long time. Um there has been this separation, this differentiation, and um I am really enlisting the teachings of Mel Robbins and her let them theory, and taking my hands off, and and it comes, it's kind of like a twin to my controller issues, right? I have to let my hands off of everybody else. I am only in charge of my journey, of my dance of life, and I cannot change or do it for anybody else, and nobody else can do it for me. And so if nobody agrees with how you are living your life, you have to just let them disagree and just move on. And that has been the most emotionally difficult lesson for me this year is this separation that I feel that right now is even growing deeper within my own um bloodline, and I keep hearing God say, Let it be. And Paul McCartney's song, you know, when I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me speaking words of wisdom, let it be, right? And so when I feel that pull to send that text or to try to get a gathering, or try to uh manipulate and in any way try to shift my children or my grandchildren, I have to remind myself to just let them be. And if there's no communication, then that's what's supposed to happen. So those were really, really big lessons, and now it's done. It's over, baby, it's over. And today we embark on a very brand new year one beginning, and this is the year of the fire horse. And again, I ask you to resurrect your own inquisition. What what is this end-of-the-year stuff? What is this numerology stuff? What is the the year of the snake as opposed to the year of the fire horse? Well, do some research. If it interests you, if you don't know what I'm talking about, then make that discovery. Figure it out yourself. Be curious. Wake up your awareness or your lack of awareness. 2026, uh according to numerology, is uh year one. You take two and zero, that equals two, plus two is four, four plus six is ten, and then when you reduce that down, one plus zero is one. We are in year one, baby, and what a great place to be, right? So having gone through the year of the snake, where we ascertained all those things that were no longer serving us, that were no longer part of our personal journeys. Now, with that clearing, it it's kind of like the spring cleaning kind of concept. We are a fresh vessel, we are free of gunk, and we are ready to take on that fire stallion. I I just have been imagining myself on a beach riding this very muscular, incredibly beautiful stallion, and we are flying down a beach, right? And his hair is blowing in the wind along with my hair. And of course, I am bareback, I'm you know, and and it's so funny because I think I've been on a horse twice in my life, and uh, and yet I see myself galloping into 2026. New beginnings are awesome, and as the energy shifts, well, it has been shifting toward the fire horse for some time, we're entering into self-reliance and and leadership qualities and really stepping into our personal identities. This is a very high momentum year. So much can get accomplished if you're ready to ride. And bold moves can happen, and I believe that it is going to be an incredible year of momentum. So I want to leave saying that going forward, for me personally, um awareness is going to be major this year. The darkness is to me, this is my personal opinion. I believe that the darkness is in its death arrows. Um, so much light is coming on the planet. It's right now. And if you're not awakened, you might just see all the tumultuousness, you might see all the governmental stuff. And I believe this is the year that's all of it's going to be revealed because it's time. It's time for freedom to reign. It's time for us to take back our planet and take back our sovereignty. But I believe that the first part of the year could be very tumultuous and rough. So we have to be extremely aware and awake. Discernment will be crucial. I believe that with AI here and not going anywhere, that's going to be a very pivotal thing to be aware of. Currently, right now, I have been utilizing it as a tool to create my framework and to automate everything that I want to do. Automate in in just day-to-day routine things, not automate my words, not the only thing AI, and I'm going to tell you right up front that I over the last, I don't know, three or four months have allowed AI to create my transcripts and to create my um show notes. And I would look at it. My titles of my episodes are always my own. And my show notes I always would adjust. But show notes are done. I will write my own show notes, and I will only allow AI to write my transcripts because that is something that I don't want to spend my time doing myself, but I want my audience to have the ability to read if they want to read instead of listen, right? So AI could be very pivotal in taking those mundane things, emails, and I'm not talking about creating emails. I'm talking about the setting up the automation of doing things that have to be done on a regular basis. I am the creator, not AI. And I think that unfortunately we're seeing it everywhere that that people are allowing their creativity to be sucked dry because they're not utilizing it. They're letting AI do it for them. And I love to write, I love to speak. I uh sometimes will use my own journal notes, but when I get behind the mic, I'm not using a script, I'm just speaking to humanity. And I never want AI to take that over. And so I think, especially on the internet, we have to be very discerning as to the voices that we are listening to, because anything online, I mean, we don't know who's really behind what they're putting out. And it's the same thing with any podcast. You need to know who it is that you're listening to, even free to just be. So uh one of the things that I'm gonna be doing is I'm going to be um moving away from a personal uh personal Facebook page to just my free to just be community page. Um the only thing I want to do on the internet is to present my material to Humanityville. I I have gotten myself down to half the amount of time that I'm scrolling, and you're gonna see that I'm gonna be talking a lot about that. So we have to be very, very awake, very discerning, and very cautious as to the internet, especially, most especially. And my Christian brothers and sisters, those sitting in pews that that believe that they know God, we have to always keep in mind that Jesus even said that even the elect, even those that say they know Christ, can and will be deceived. So we have to be uber aware and discerning this year. And I'm gonna close on the three constants that are gonna be in my life in 2026, and that is three mantras that I have I began using in November, and that is peace be still, and that is my personal reminder to stay centered and aligned and grounded. How I do that I will be talking about more in depth in future episodes in January, but basically, it's to stay centered in my energy, in my satsuma, in my place of alignment, which is within. It's not without. I cannot reiterate enough that our awakening ascension dance of life is not an outside job. It's inside. We have to do the work inside. So peace be still. Second is I am. I am God eternal is within my body right now, and it's within your body, and that is who's gonna lead me. It's always I am. It it, you know, many other podcasters are talking about the same thing, and it's so funny. I I as I hear people talking about it, it's uh internally I'm saying, well, duh, but I'm glad people are talking about it because I just always assume that that was the case, and obviously it's not. I am has been he is my everything. He has been for 42 years, and that is my constant reminder to always go back to God. So peace be still, and I am, and then my last one is I am all in, and that's what I tell God every day. Whatever you want from me, I am in. I'm in my mission, I'm in my destiny, I am in my body, I am fully present. I am not gonna stay in the past because the past doesn't define me. I learned many lessons, but I am also not gonna future trip. I am all in to what? The present moment. Completely in the present moment. And I'm going to going forward talk about the many ways that I am learning to bring myself not only back to that present moment, which you know it's a dual thing. When you stay in the present, then you're in the I am, and then you have peace. So when you put these three together, it's an awesome way to live. Peace be still, I am, and I am all in. Let's ride, shall we, Humanityville? Shall we as humans doing really focus this year on being and then get on that horse and buckle up, Buttercups, because it is gonna be one wild ride. We're gonna be riding on a wild stallion, and who knows where we're gonna end up. So happy, happy new year. May this be the most incredible year ever for all of us, as you and I, my fellow brothers and sisters, my fellow humans, let it be the year that we return back to Humanityville, that we instill deeper connection with one another, and that we have the rides of our life. And as always, I wish you the greatest health and vibrant energy, which of course leads us to peace.
