Episode Title: New Year, New You in 2026

Welcome to Episode 402 of The Everyday Life Balance Show. In this heart-centred New Year episode, Pascale Gibon invites you to begin 2026 with softness, clarity, and soulful intention. Rather than chasing resolutions that fade, you’ll be guided to anchor your year through the core desire of your heart, then translate that desire into aligned Be/Do/Have intentions. You’ll also explore how the Wheel of Life can bring clarity when you feel uncertain, and how a vision board can become a beautiful daily reminder of who you are becoming.

This is your gentle reset: a loving space to breathe, reflect, and step into 2026 with purpose, peace, and without pressure.

Episode 402: New Year, New You in 2026

Episode Summary

In this New Year episode, Pascale guides you through a gentle process to start 2026 with grounded intention and heartfelt clarity. You’ll begin by naming the core desire of your heart, that is, what you truly want to feel and embody this year. From there, you’ll create aligned intentions using the Be/Do/Have framework, helping you connect inner identity with practical actions and meaningful outcomes. If you’re unsure where to begin, you’ll explore the Wheel of Life as a compassionate tool for clarity. Finally, you’ll bring your vision to life through a vision board and learn how to stay on course with small, consistent rituals, flexibility, and self-compassion.

Conclusion

This episode is your reminder that you don’t need to force a new version of yourself into existence. You get to begin 2026 by listening inward -naming your heart’s core desire - and choosing intentions that feel aligned with your values and your truth. With gentle check-ins, a creative vision board practice, and the permission to evolve along the way, you can move through the year with steadiness, grace, and joy.

-------------------------

1) A New Year, A New Energy

January is offered as a blank canvas, an open, spacious invitation to begin again. Pascale guides you into a short, sacred pause with a calming breath, then encourages you to name what your heart truly wants more of this year: peace, freedom, trust, joy, confidence, or spaciousness. This core desire becomes your emotional anchor for the year ahead.

Journal prompt:
“My heart’s core desire this year is…”

2) Setting Intentions for 2026 with Be / Do / Have

Instead of relying on willpower-based resolutions, Pascale introduces intentions as a compassionate way to guide your year, something you return to again and again.

You’ll explore the Be/Do/Have framework:

• BE: Who do I choose to be this year?
• DO: What actions will I take to honour my desire?
• HAVE: What outcomes do I want to experience as a result?

A real-life example is shared, using “peace” as the heart’s core desire, demonstrating how your identity (Be) shapes your actions (Do), which in turn supports what you experience (Have). You’re encouraged to keep it simple and revisit your alignment every three months with gentleness.

3) Envisioning Your Best Year Using the Wheel of Life

If you feel uncertain about your desire or intentions, Pascale suggests using the Wheel of Life as a loving compass. It helps you see where you feel fulfilled and where you crave nourishment, growth, or support. You’re invited to focus on one area first, so your energy becomes steady rather than scattered.

4) Vision Boards: Your Personal Roadmap

With your core desire and intentions in place, you’ll be guided to create a vision board, either with magazine clippings or digitally with Canva. This practice turns your intention into something tangible and beautiful.

Your vision board can include:

• images that reflect how you want to feel and what you want to have
• words that inspire you
• quotes that elevate you
• affirmations that remind you what is possible

Placed somewhere visible, it becomes a daily whisper of encouragement, supporting you to embody your vision consistently.

5) Staying on Course with Love and Consistency

Pascale reminds you that dream lives are built in small moments of devotion, not grand bursts of perfection. You’re encouraged to create gentle milestones and check-ins, such as:

• a monthly reflection date with your journal
• a Sunday reset ritual
• a quarterly review to celebrate and adjust

You’ll hear a powerful reminder: flexibility is not failure, it’s wisdom. You are allowed to wobble, evolve, and begin again without making yourself wrong.

Conclusion: A Blessing for a Radiant 2026

The episode closes with a heartfelt New Year blessing and a gentle invitation: take time this week to journal through the heart’s desire + Be/Do/Have exercise, and create your vision board as a sacred act of self-leadership. The more you connect to your heart, the more joy you invite into your life.

Happy New Year, beautiful listener! May 2026 be radiant.

FULL TRANSCRIPT

-----------------------

Hello, and a happy New Year to all my beautiful listeners!
A warm welcome to episode 402 of The Everyday Life Balance Show. I’m Pascale Gibon, your host, and I’m so grateful you’re here with me today. 

Isn’t it special… to step into a brand new year together?

As we enter 2026, I’m sending you waves of love, peace, harmony, good health, abundant prosperity, and hope. May this year feel like a gentle homecoming to yourself.

I’ve always loved the energy of January. It feels like standing in front of a blank canvas that is clean, spacious, full of possibility and inviting us to design a colourful life from the inside out. And yes… we are the co-creators of our lives.

Today’s episode is called: “New Year, New You in 2026.”
And I want you to think of this episode as a gentle yet powerful reset - your New Year, New You moment. Not in a pressured, performative way… but in a loving, aligned way. A way that honours who you are now, and your next level of growth.

Today, we turn our gaze forward; we’re setting the stage for a year of alignment, intention, and transformation.

And when I say alignment, I mean this: the harmonious integration of your intentions, your values, and your actions, so your life feels true.
Not perfect. Not polished. But the full expression of your heart’s desire. 

So… are you ready?

Let’s begin.

Part 1: A New Year, A New Energy

Before we do anything practical, I want you to do something sacred.

If it feels safe for you right now, take a slow breath in…
…and gently exhale.

Now ask yourself:

What is the core desire of my heart in 2026?

• Is it…
  More peace?
  More freedom?
  More spaciousness?
  More confidence?
  More joy?
  More trust?

Connect to your heart, and if it helps, you can complete this sentence: “My heart’s core desire this year is…” fill in the blank.

Let me share an example: “My heart’s core desire in 2026 is to experience more peace in all areas of my life.”

The truth is… the New Year, New You journey doesn’t start with a list. It starts with a feeling, a frequency. So allow your heart to speak. 

Now that you’ve named the feeling, let’s give it direction with intentions.

Part 2: Setting Your Intention for 2026

Let’s start with a powerful question:

What is your intention for 2026?

Another way to set an intention is to reflect on what you commit to being, doing and having in 2026. You and I both know that resolutions often begin in January and fade by February because they rely on willpower alone, and there’s no shame in that.  

But intentions… are different.

Intentions are not about forcing yourself to become someone else. They’re about choosing who you want to be, and returning to that choice again and again, with compassion.

So let’s set your intentions for 2026 using the Be, Do, Have principle, which implies that what we do and what we have flows from who we choose to be. 

And as you do this, I invite you to dream without editing. Think abundantly and expansively.

Here are the three prompts:

What do you intend to BE in 2026?

In other words, who do you choose to be to fulfil your heart’s desires?

Next, what do you intend to DO in 2026 to make your dreams come true?

These are the actions you’ll take, the choices you’ll make, the habits you’ll install to fulfil your heart’s core desire. 

And lastly, what do you intend to HAVE in 2026?

It could be the courage to take a leap, greater financial security, a new home, deeper well-being, stronger relationships, a new and fulfilling job, or simply more peace.

Let me share a concrete example:

If my heart’s core desire is: “I want to experience more peace in all areas of my life,” then my Be/Do/Have might sound like this:

BE: I choose to be a vehicle for peace.

DO: I create a daily practice that invites peace in - it could be meditation and prayer each morning or a quiet moment with my hand on my heart.  I invite the energy of peace into my life daily, and I gently release what disturbs the peace in my heart.

HAVE: I have greater peace of mind, especially in relationships.

It’s beautiful, isn’t it?

An intention is a seed. And when you plant it in the heart, it begins to change everything.

Wayne Dyer, author of The Power of Intention, said:
“The power of intention is the power to manifest, to create, to live a life of unlimited abundance, and to attract the right people into your life at the right moments.”

So, let’s keep this exercise simple:

1. Name the core desire of your heart for 2026.
2. Set your Be/Do/Have intentions.
3. And every three months, gently review: “Am I living in alignment with what I said I wanted from the depth of my heart?” 

And if you’re unsure of what to choose, here’s a compassionate way to find clarity.

Part 3: Envisioning Your Best Year

If you struggle with the first two parts: clarifying your heart’s core desire or choosing your Be/Do/Have intentions, I invite you to use the Wheel of Life as your anchor.

It helps you see clearly where you’re craving more support, growth, or renewal.

Think of your Wheel of Life as your loving compass guiding you back to your true north.

And here is a gentle tip: choose one area to focus on first, because your life changes faster when your energy isn’t scattered.

For further help, you can find an episode I created on the Wheel of Life, episode 328: Refining Your Growth Blueprint With The Wheel Of Life, in the Show Notes. 

Part 4: Vision Boards: Your Personal Roadmap

Now let’s bring your heart’s core desire, and your Be/Do/Have intentions to life in a way that feels creative and joyful.

One of the most delightful ways to anchor your core desire and intentions is by creating a vision board.

You can do it the traditional way, cutting and sticking images from magazines, drinking a cup of tea and listening to music…
Or you can use Canva to do it digitally.

Allow your creativity to flow. Remember: you have a blank canvas in front of you and you are designing your life, intentionally. 

Let your vision board be beautiful, colourful and a representation of what matters to you the most this year from the depths of your soul. 

You can include:

• images that reflect how you desire to feel
• words that inspire you
• quotes that elevate you, and
• affirmations that remind you what is possible

Then place it somewhere visible, so it becomes both a daily whisper of encouragement and a reminder of who you are becoming.

And, I love John Assaraf’s guidance on goal achievement. He said:
“No matter what I want to achieve… I write it out and then create a vision board. Then, I get into the vibration mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically every day.”

That’s the key, isn’t it?
Not just seeing the vision… but becoming the person who lives it. 

Part 5 — Staying on Course With Love and Consistency

So now you’ve named your heart’s desire.

You’ve set your intentions.
And you’ve given your vision a home - perhaps on a board you can see each day.

And here is the gentle truth:

You build your dream life in small, consistent moments.

This year, I encourage you to set a few simple milestones and create regular check-ins with yourself. 

Here are a few options:

• a monthly reflection date with your journal
• a Sunday reset ritual to realign your week. Or
• a quarterly review to celebrate your progress and adjust gently

And remember… staying on course doesn’t mean you’ll never go off course. 

Flexibility is not failure; it’s wisdom.

You are allowed to evolve and adjust.
Similarly, you are allowed to fall forward and begin again and again.

Closing Thoughts

As we wrap up this very first episode of 2026, I want to leave you with this:

May this be the year you fulfil your heart’s core desire with intention.

I encourage you to take some time this week to journal through the exercise we explored today and create your vision board, allowing this fresh start to feel sacred. 

And remember: the more you connect to your heart, the more joy you’ll experience. Therefore, if you only take one thing from today, let it be this: let your heart lead.”

Thank you for joining me today. Feel free to share your core desire with me on Instagram. I can’t wait to connect with you for another inspiring episode of The Everyday Life Balance Show.

Until then… Happy New Year, my beautiful listeners!

I’m sending you love, peace, and light for the journey ahead.
