Designing in 5D: Building a 2026 Vision Board Rooted in Joy, Not Pressure
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you’re heading into 2026 craving a clean slate—but refusing the pressure-based January hustle—you’re not alone. In this episode of Designing in 5D, Jodi Peterman shares how she builds her annual vision board with intention, grounding, and love instead of trends, timelines, or performative goals.
Drawing from her background as an interior designer, Jodi walks you through vision boarding the same way she designs spaces: using mood, energy, themes, and feeling as your true north. She opens up about personal transitions, rebuilding joy after major life changes, and why her year doesn’t start in January—but in alignment.
You’ll learn:
- Why choosing a word for the year matters more than a long goal list
- How to create vision board “genres” like sanctuary, play & learn, travel, and service
- Why spring energy—not winter pressure—is where real momentum begins
- How to anchor your vision with intentions that gently guide your subconscious
- Ways to keep your vision board present so it actually shapes your year
This episode is an invitation to slow down, plant seeds, and design a life you actually want to live inside—one rooted in joy, embodiment, and clarity.
A downloadable prompt is included in the show notes to help you begin your own vision board, whether you’re starting fresh or rebuilding with intention.
✨ Design your year on purpose.
✨ Build from love, not pressure.
✨ And remember—joy is a direction.
