A Gentle Start to the New Year

The beginning of a new year often comes with pressure — to set goals, make changes, and become a “better” version of ourselves. In this opening episode of Season 3, Marilyn invites listeners to step away from that noise and start the year gently instead.

This episode is about slowing down, releasing expectations, and giving yourself permission to begin where you are. Through reflection and a calming bubble practice, Marilyn encourages listeners to notice what they’re carrying into the new year and decide — without judgment — what truly belongs with them right now.

This is not about reinvention.

It’s about intention, clarity, and breathing room.

In This Episode, You’ll Hear About:

1. The pressure that often comes with a new year
2. Why you don’t need to reinvent yourself to move forward
3. How to notice emotional and mental weight without fixing it
4. A gentle New Year Bubble practice for reflection
5. Starting the year with clarity instead of overwhelm

Reflection Questions:

1. What am I still carrying from last year?
2. What feels heavy that may not belong to me anymore?
3. What would feel supportive right now?

Listener Reminder:

You don’t have to rush into this year.

You don’t have to have it all figured out.

A gentle start is still a powerful start.
