Ep 109: A Soft Ending to the Year and a Beautiful Beginning

As the year comes to a close, this episode is an invitation to slow down instead of rushing forward. Rather than forcing resolutions or trying to become a “new version” of yourself overnight, we explore how to end the year softly, with gratitude, honesty, and nervous-system safety, and how that creates the most aligned beginnings.

In this episode, Dorothy reflects on two very different energies of desire: wanting from lack versus wanting from abundance and curiosity. She shares why desires don’t arrive on January 1st, how identity shapes aligned action, and why real change comes from how you feel, not how hard you push.

This conversation is a grounding pause before the noise of the new year, and  a reminder that you don’t need fixing, only permission to arrive.

In This Episode, We Explore:

  • Why a soft ending matters more than a rushed beginning

  • How to reflect on the year with gratitude (without gaslighting yourself)

  • The difference between desiring from lack vs desiring from abundance

  • Why “wouldn’t it be fun if…” is a powerful energetic shift

  • How alignment creates change more sustainably than motivation

  • A gentler perspective on weight loss and January pressure

  • Why your desires unfold through identity, not deadlines

Key Takeaway:
How you end the year sets the tone for what unfolds next and softness is not a delay, it’s a foundation.

🎙 Listen in, exhale, and let this year complete.
