Something That’s Been Coming Through Lately

I’ve been noticing the same message popping up over and over lately: things are shifting, even if it doesn’t feel great yet.

This time of year can feel heavier than we expect. The holidays are wrapping up, the new year is coming, and there’s often this quiet pressure to feel hopeful or excited. But a lot of people I talk with are just tired, a little worn down, and not quite themselves. If you're feeling that way, too, I want you to know that you’re not doing anything wrong.

In fact, I feel this way myself sometimes. There have been years when everything looked “fine” on the outside, but inside I felt restless and uncomfortable, like I couldn’t really relax. I remember one year I kept thinking I should feel grateful or motivated, but all I really wanted was some peace and hope. Back then, I thought something was wrong with me. Looking back, I see now I was just outgrowing old ways of holding things together.

Spirit guides often talk about this as an in-between space. Old patterns, expectations, or ways of coping start to loosen, and that can feel overwhelming or heavy before it begins to finally feel freeing. And it's often heaviest right before you’re able to let those old things go and embrace something new.

One thing to remember is that you don’t need to have it all figured out before the year changes. You don’t need resolutions, a solid goal for the year, or to feel perfectly positive. Just noticing what you don’t want to carry anymore is already a step forward.

Hope doesn’t always show up as excitement. Sometimes it’s quieter, like a little thought that says, “I don’t want to live the same way I have been,” or a small sense of relief mixed with the heaviness. And you know what? That still counts.

If this season feels a bit hard or uncertain, trust that something is shifting underneath it all. Know that you’re in transition, and while it might not feel comfortable, it’s meaningful and won’t last forever.

Thanks for joining me here today. Wishing you peace, healing, and clarity as the year turns.
