“2026 is the year of fire. It’s the year of beginnings. It’s the year of passion. It’s the year of getting your sh*t in order.”

After an emotionally intense 2025, the astrology of 2026 invites you to stop waiting and start becoming. In this episode of Bounce Back Stronger, Donna Ferris is joined by astrologer Cosmi-Colleen Dixon to break down the biggest planetary shifts of the year and what they mean for your future.

You’ll learn how Neptune and Saturn in Aries, Jupiter in Leo, and major eclipse changes are reshaping identity, purpose, career direction, and relationships.

You’ll discover: • Why 2026 is a “found” year • Who will experience the biggest transformations • Where to expect career and leadership growth • Relationship themes to look for during Venus retrograde • How to align with the energy of action

If you’re done waiting and ready to take confident action in 2026, this episode is for you.

“Your spiritual guides don’t want you to live in lack or victimization. They want you to live in joy, abundance, happiness—and they support you every step of the way.”

In this episode of Bounce Back Stronger, Donna Ferris welcomes back psychic medium Cristina Leeson for a grounding conversation on staying connected to higher energy, trusting spiritual guidance, and navigating uncertainty with clarity and confidence.

Together, they explore:

• Why staying in higher energy isn’t “woo-woo”—it’s essential right now

• Why 2025 was a year of endings and shedding, and how 2026 opens the door to greater freedom, courage, and abundance

• How to tell the difference between intuition, imagination, and genuine guidance from your spirit guides

If you’ve been feeling called to let go, trust yourself more deeply, or notice the signs around you, this episode will help you step into 2026 with clarity, confidence, and calm.

A Lullaby for 2025: Vienna Teng on Music, Hope, and Connection

 ”I see you, and I'm telling you my story in hopes that you'll see me. And from there, there's so many more things that are possible.”

In this conversation, Donna Ferris sits down with singer, songwriter, and pianist Vienna Teng—an artist whose music has long served as a bridge between people, ideas, and lived experiences.

From her iconic song City Hall, inspired by the legalization of same-sex marriage in San Francisco, to her newest work We’ve Got You (released November 2024), Vienna explores how music can hold complexity, invite empathy, and create space for honest conversation—especially in divided times.

Together, Donna and Vienna talk about:

• Writing songs that start conversations, not arguments
• Holding two truths at once in polarized times
• Music as modern-day folk storytelling

Ending with a tender lullaby sung by Vienna, this conversation offers a moment of gentleness, meaning, and hope for the holiday season.
