What January is "dropping" as it comes to a close, is destabilizing to say the least!
When life suddenly stops making sense—plans unravel, certainty dissolves, and the usual coping tools don’t work—it can feel less like growth and more like an existential freefall. But what if that “collapse” isn’t a sign you’re failing… it’s a threshold you’re meant to cross? This post explores why the nervous system reads identity shifts as danger, why forcing clarity only backfires, and how presence, honesty, and regulated input become the real way through.

If 2026 doesn’t feel like a fresh start—and motivation, clarity, and “new year energy” seem strangely absent—there may be a deeper reason than burnout or lack of willpower. After years of living in survival mode, the external pressure may have eased while the nervous system is still wired for constant alertness, leaving many people feeling untethered: the old life no longer fits, and the new one hasn’t arrived yet. This post explores why forcing goals and discipline isn’t working anymore, what “repair” actually looks like, and how this year is quietly inviting a different kind of forward movement—rooted in regulation, meaning, and embodied leadership. If you’ve been functional but disconnected, urgent but unmotivated, or hungry for fulfillment you can’t quite name, the missing context—and a path back to aliveness—might be closer than you think.
