Ep. 389 - Purpose Over Perfection: How to Have Your Most Aligned Year in 2026
EXPANDED Podcast by To Be Magnetic™
Choosing Platforms by Felt-Sense
Jessica shares her content dilemma and decides by body resonance rather than strategic overanalysis.
What if you knew yourself well enough to know when a decision is aligned on a soul level?
As the Year of the Snake comes to a close, we’re completing a season of stripping away what no longer fits, what we’ve outgrown, what we’re finally ready to release. What remains beneath it all? And do you trust and know yourself enough to follow it?
In this solo episode, Jessica offers a grounded reframe for entering the new year with self-trust and intention—without the pressure of making it your “best year yet.” She explores how real alignment comes from honoring subtle, daily shifts, allowing both expansion and contraction, and making space for embodied “no’s” that protect your nervous system and energy.
This episode dives into manifestation through the lens of the new paradigm, which is rooted in self-worth, clarity, and ease rather than force. If you’re feeling caught between motivation and resistance, this conversation will help you reconnect with your inner knowing and move forward with confidence.
