Beginning the Year in My Own Time
In this first episode of 2026, I’m reflecting on the new year and why the usual rush of goal setting and reinvention may not resonate right now. I talk about winter as a season of slowing down, turning inward, and honoring the quieter rhythms that often get overlooked when the calendar flips. I share how I personally relate to beginnings and why my birthday and other seasonal markers feel more aligned for fresh starts than January first. This episode explores the idea that there are many ways to begin again, and that it is okay to move slowly, check in with yourself, and choose what truly feels supportive. I also reflect on what I’m carrying forward this year, including a deeper commitment to authenticity, writing, and sharing from a place of genuine excitement rather than performance. I talk about my desire to prioritize creativity, build nourishing routines, and create supportive spaces for connection, including a new writing circle. This episode is an invitation to soften into the start of the year, to release pressure, and to trust your own timing as you move toward what feels true for you. Kim Kogane is a writer and intuitive guide helping you navigate the tender in-between seasons of life. She lives in Seattle, Washington, with her dog Cauchy and three cats. . –– ✦
