Easing Into a New Year

As I ease into the new year, and yes, ease is the exact word I want to use, I notice how different this season feels. I am not working on a resolution. I am not outlining a list of goals I want to accomplish. I am not searching for my usual “word of the year.” Instead, I am being intentional. I am honoring who I am.

This is a first for me.

In the past, I jumped on the resolution-making bandwagon like clockwork. January means momentum, action, improvement. But since coming to understand myself on a deeper level, I no longer rush. I move with more patience. More awareness. More trust.

I owe this perspective to my Human Design wisdom and to the conscious decision to set aside societal conditioning. Truthfully, I have always pushed back against that conditioning (most likely unconsciously) in my own way, but it used to feel messy and reactive. Now it feels grounded. Elegant. Intentional.

Over time, I have developed a truly beautiful relationship with myself.

That relationship comes with understanding. With patience. With the humility to admit there are many things I am still unlearning and the grace to honor the woman I am becoming. The woman I was always meant to be.

The most important relationship we will ever have is the one we have with ourselves. And I have felt genuinely excited to peel back the layers of who I am through my ability to read and live my Human Design chart. Each layer brings clarity. Each insight offers permission to be more fully me.

At the same time, I have been incredibly lit up by the opportunity to walk alongside others who are open to doing the same.

I am deeply curious and also someone who loves to go deep with that curiosity. One of the areas I have been exploring through Human Design is relationship dynamics: how we show up with one another, how our energy interacts, and how understanding ourselves first creates space for more nurturing, loving, and aligned relationships with the people in our lives.

I believe that when we understand ourselves - our rhythms, our needs, our emotional landscapes - we stop asking others to complete us. Instead, we meet them with clarity, compassion, and choice. From that place, relationships become less about fixing and more about honoring.

This year doesn’t feel like a beginning that needs to be forced. It feels like a continuation of self-trust, embodiment, and becoming.

If you find yourself in a similar place - curious about who you are beneath the conditioning, or longing for deeper understanding in your relationships, I offer Human Design readings and relationship-focused sessions that create space for insight, language, and self-trust. These sessions are not about telling you who to be, but about helping you recognize what has always been true.

You are welcome to explore this work in your own timing. There is no rush!
