#45 Embracing the Year of the Fire Horse

Cindy Hartzell & Laura Langfitt Episode 45

Find a more grounded way of being with Cindy

In this episode, we revisit last year’s “First of the Year” episode, reflect on the goals we set, and laugh at how little of it actually unfolded the way we expected. 

What we thought would be a year focused on riding turned into a year of shedding, relocating, grieving, rebuilding, and making changes we never saw coming. And somehow, we both ended up feeling more grounded and centered than ever.

We talk honestly about the pressure of traditional New Year’s goal setting and how easily it sets us up to feel behind or disappointed, especially when our season of life doesn’t support rigid plans. 

As we look toward the Year of the Fire Horse, we talk about choosing intention over urgency. Feelings over metrics. Presence over performance. 

If you’re feeling ready to explore a new way of being in 2026, hit play now.
