Have you ever felt like everything in your life was quietly unravelling, and you couldn’t tell if you were transforming or falling apart? What if that restlessness you felt all through 2025 wasn’t you breaking—it was you shedding what no longer fit?
In this powerful episode, we explore why 2025 left so many of us feeling raw, done, and ready to walk away from versions of ourselves we’d outgrown. This wasn’t random discomfort—this was a Number 9 year combined with Snake energy, and it arrived to make you honest, not comfortable. While everyone around you was forcing momentum, you were doing something far more powerful: listening to truth you’d been avoiding. Now 2026 has begun as a Number 10 year—new identity with infinite potential—and it’s demanding something completely different from you.
This episode reveals three transformative insights about what 2025 revealed and what 2026 actually demands from you now.
Honour What the Shedding Revealed: The most important growth of 2025 was completely invisible. It didn’t come with applause or external validation. It came in the middle of the night when you finally admitted the truth you’d been avoiding. It came when you stopped explaining yourself to people who were never going to understand. It came when you let the friendship fade without forcing a dramatic ending. The Snake doesn’t shed loudly—it sheds in private, quietly, completely. You released jobs that drained you, beliefs that limited you, versions of yourself you’d outgrown. And you did it without fanfare, without needing validation, without turning your healing into performance. That wasn’t weakness—that was mastery. Internal work feels like nothing is happening, but it’s everything, because you cannot build a new life on a foundation you’ve outgrown.
You Are Standing in Infinite Potential Right Now: Here’s what changes everything about 2026: most people see it as a Number 1 year and think “fresh starts,” but they’re missing the zero. And the zero is where the power lives. Zero represents Source, the unseen, the infinite field of possibility. This isn’t a year where you grind your way to success through willpower alone. This is a year of co-creation. The 1 is you—your vision, your clarity, your choice. The 0 is Source—the universe, the mysterious force that opens doors you didn’t even know existed. Together, they create something neither could accomplish alone. You’re not starting from scratch. You’re starting from clarity, from truth, from the solid ground of knowing who you are and what you will no longer tolerate. Stop carrying the weight of outcomes. Your job is to move, to choose, to act. The rest? That’s where the zero does its work.
The Horse Demands You Run: Starting in February, everything shifts again. Horse energy arrives, and the Horse doesn’t tiptoe—the Horse runs. Where the Snake revealed truth, the Horse demands movement, courage, forward motion. Here’s the uncomfortable truth: clarity without action is just comfortable confusion. You know what you know now. 2025 gave you that gift. You see the patterns, understand the lies you believed about yourself, know what needs to change. But knowledge without embodiment is just intellectual entertainment. This year is asking you a different question—not “What do you know?” but “What will you do?” The Horse doesn’t wait for perfect conditions. It runs because running is its nature. And courage isn’t the absence of fear. Courage is moving while afraid, choosing freedom over familiarity every single day. Your assignment: identify one truth that 2025 revealed and take one action toward embodying it this week. Not next month. Not when you feel ready. This week.
This isn’t just an episode—it’s an invitation to stop rehearsing your life and start living it. The shedding is done. 2025 cleared the way. 2026 is where you run. If you’re standing at the edge of your own expansion, afraid to jump, this one’s for you.
