It's New Year's Eve. Everywhere you look, there's the same message: "New Year, New You."
The transformation promises and reinvention rhetoric. The implication that who you are right now isn't quite enough and that January 1st is your chance to become someone better.
What if you don't need to become someone new in 2026? What if you just need to believe in who you already are?
In this episode, I'm challenging the "new year, new you" narrative, because real, lasting transformation doesn't come from rejecting who you are, it comes from accepting who you are and making aligned choices from that place of acceptance.
In this episode, you'll discover:
How the "new year, new you" narrative is holding you back
The difference between growth from acceptance and trying to fix yourself
How to create sustainable change that doesn't feel hard
The Alignment Inventory practise to guide your new year
This isn't about becoming someone different. It's about believing in who you already are.
Because you don't need to reinvent yourself in 2026. You just need to believe in yourself.
That might actually be the most radical, transformative thing you could do.
Wishing you a beautiful New Year, filled with presence, kindness and the deep knowing that you are already enough.
