In this episode, we will discuss transformation and change, on a personal level as well as how it may relate to the world at large. As the 2026 Lunar New Year marks the end of the Year of the Snake, we take a moment to pause and reflect on the subtle and not-so-subtle ways we and our lives have changed over the past 12 months, while also acknowledging the areas that we'd like to see change in the future. We will explore themes of letting go, endings, destruction, and new beginnings, and we will examine different symbols of transformation including fire, snake as a spirit animal, Aquarius, the moon, and more.

Grab your hot bevvie, bundle up, and join me for a cozy winter day. Winter is one of the more polarizing seasons, with many people finding this time of year hard to love. The winter blues, rampant illnesses, harsh weather, and lack of energy are real challenges for a lot of folks. On the other hand, this introspective and reflective time of year can offer opportunities to get cozy, dream, and live differently than we might during the warmer times of year. In this episode, we will explore the gifts and challenges of the season. It is my hope that you might walk away feeling more connected and empowered by the season, ready to finish up Winter 2026 with more intentional living.

Hi friends! On this first episode of Satisfy the Soul, I introduce myself and the vision I have for this podcast before moving onto the idea of living with intention for the year 2026. According to numerology, 2026 is the first year in a nine year cycle. Whether we believe in numerology or not, this is a great symbol for living as though every subsequent year depends on this year. We will examine where we've been, where we are, and where we are going.
