307: On Taking January Slow—and Saving the Visioning for Later
The Blair Badenhop Show
In this episode, I’m letting go of the pressure to “start strong” in January — and maybe giving you permission to do the same. If your new year feels less like a clean slate and more like a slow crawl out of holiday chaos, sickness, or just plain exhaustion… you’re not alone. This week, I’m sharing why I’m not beginning 2026 with a grand plan, a detailed vision board, or a perfectly mapped-out set of intentions.

The Blair Badenhop Show
This week’s episode is a personal one — a holiday reflection I didn’t expect to record but absolutely needed to.
