Episode #110: Welcoming 2026 with Magic
Welcoming 2026 with Magic
The start of a new year often comes with pressure.
New goals.
New plans.
New expectations of who you should be by now.
But what if the most powerful way to enter a new year wasn’t by pushing harder…
but by softening into what feels true?
That’s what this week’s Trusting Dorothy episode is about.
Instead of setting rigid resolutions, I choose a word for the year, something that becomes a lens, a compass, and a place to return when life gets messy.
Last year, my word was expansion.
And as I sat in Maui over the holidays, I had this quiet realization:
Maui used to be our once-a-year big family trip.
Now it’s our winter trip, after Italy in the summer and London in the spring.
That didn’t happen because I forced it.
It happened because I changed what I believed was possible.
Expansion wasn’t just about travel or money.
It was about asking why not instead of why I can’t.
It was about letting myself want more without guilt.
And letting myself hold the hard moments without collapsing.
As we step into 2026, the word I’m choosing is magic.
Not in a fairy-tale way, but in an open to possibilities and synchronicities way.
Magic is:
-
Letting things work out without exhausting yourself first
-
Trusting timing
-
Allowing ease
-
Not needing to prove your worth through struggle
It’s still showing up.
It’s still taking aligned action.
But it’s no longer forcing life to bend.
And here’s the truth:
Magic creates abundance.
Magic creates overflow.
Magic creates the life you can’t always plan, but always feel when it arrives.
So if you’re standing at the edge of a new year wondering how to do it differently…
You don’t need a whole new life.
You just need a new way of relating to the one you already have.
✨ Welcome to 2026. Let it be magic.
