Hello, love.
If you’re anything like me, the end of the year doesn’t feel like a finish line.
It feels like a molting ~ a quiet inner-knowing that something is complete.
This was the Year of the Snake.
And, friend!
She had no chill.
Not in a punishing way.
But in that soft, wise, inevitable way, where what no longer fits you just starts to fall away.
Not because it was wrong.
But because it was time.
What Snake Energy Really Does
Snake doesn’t ask you to hustle.
She simply asks:
What are you holding that your body has already outgrown?
Where are you staying loyal to something that no longer feels clean, clear, or true?
What version of you is quietly dying off ~ so something new can emerge?
She’s the part of you that sheds, releases, trusts.
No drums.
No spotlight.
Just the sacred act of letting go.
What I Shed in 2025
This year, Snake energy moved through my life and business in many subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways.
And I listened.
Not all at once.
But piece by piece, I let things fall away.
Here are just a few:
I deleted old videos from a business mentor whose behavior toward their staff came to light ~ not as a “statement,” but because the energy no longer belonged in my field.
I left a group coaching program run by someone I respect and care for ~ not because it wasn’t good, but because I needed to cut expenses to create more breathing room and cut back further on my work schedule.
So, yes, I also let go of one day a week at my day job ~ For my mental and physical health ~ Hooray for GenZ bosses!
I no longer over-ride my nervous system ~ Which led to leaving traditional social media ~ It’s time for quiet.
I released relationships that couldn’t meet me where I am anymore ~ The ones that relied on versions of me that are long gone.
I stopped explaining myself to people who had already decided not to hear me ~ I chose to simply control how I react ~ And things got easier.
And I finally turned a corner with the deep, body-holding-on-for-dear-life grief I’ve been carrying since my mom and dad passed, just 3 months apart in 2023 ~ The grief is still sacred, but, right on time ~ its grip has loosened.
And one more big one that spiraled back:
I realized I had built parts of my business around an old, well-intentioned, I-honestly-thought-I-had-worked-through-all-that habit:
Fixing!
While learning the next phase of the energetic work I came here to do, I realized, in an effort to avoid negative experiences for others…
I was including intentions for people that were not mine to intend.
Positive intentions.
So subtle, but still.
It was fixing and it was eye-opening.
Snake asked for honesty.
So I gave it.
If You’ve Been Quietly Letting Go Too…
This part is for you.
You’re not complacent, off point or “doing it wrong”.
You’re just shedding.
And it’s not supposed to look productive.
It’s supposed to feel true.
If you’re standing in the middle of things that used to light you up but now feel heavy, unclear, or depleted ~ I want you to know…
It’s okay to surrender even if (especially if):
They once helped.
People don’t understand
You don’t know what comes next.
Snake doesn’t rush the new.
She just creates space for it.
Journal Prompts for the End of a Snake Year
Time to take a moment for you.
Go get your favorite journal and cuppa whatevah.
Create some space and take a moment to get clear:
Where am I still holding on out of habit, not alignment?
What would I release if I trusted my body more than my brain?
What am I ready to name as complete ~ even if no one else sees it that way?
What truth have I been whispering to myself, that I’m finally ready to say out loud?
There’s no need to speed through these.
If you need to chew on them for a couple of days, that’s great too.
Because the more you dig, the more space you’ll clear.
And the more space you clear, the more energy you’ll free up for what’s next.
One Last Thing
This wasn’t a flashy year for me.
But it was a powerful one.
Snake didn’t ask me to build more.
She asked me to come home to myself.
To peel back the layers, and to get clean in my energy ~ so what comes next continues to unfold from integrity.
And if you’re walking that same path?
You’re exactly where you are supposed to be.
Doing exactly what you are supposed to be doing.
You’re simply shedding.
With love + infinite ease,
P.S. Thank you so much for taking this ride with me this year. Getting back to the “blogging”/email and intuition-only basics I started with back in 2010 has been game changing and I’m so glad you are here.
If you know anyone who would resonate with what I shared here with you today, please forward this email, or share the post on Substack.
