✨ Clearing Out the Cupboard: My Plans and Thoughts for 2026
This morning, on the first day of 2026, after the fireworks had finally faded and the world slipped into that soft, post midnight quiet, I woke before the morning light has begun to show.
Not because of an alarm.
Not because I’d planned to.
It was because something in me was already awake, alert, listening, aware that today wasn’t just another square on a calendar.
It felt like standing in front of a cupboard you’ve been avoiding for years.
You know the one.
The door that sticks a little.
The one filled with things you might need one day… but probably won’t.
A threshold.
A hinge.
A moment that whispers, “Pay attention.”
So I made my tea, wrapped myself in a blanket, and watched the grey sky slowly brighten. And as the dawn broke, I realised that stepping into 2026 feels exactly like opening that cupboard and finally deciding to deal with what’s inside.
Not with drama.
Not with chaos.
But with honesty.
🌫️ The Cupboard of Identities
As I sat there, I thought about everything we’ve all been navigating, the shifts in who we are, the work we’ve done on our identities, the quiet knowing that something deeper is moving through the collective.
And I reminded myself:
Nothing I’m doing now; the one off sessions, the hypnosis, the deep unconscious work is separate from the rest of the world. It’s all connected. It’s all part of something larger.
For a long time, I kept my worlds in different compartments of that cupboard:
- Corporate Jackie on the top shelf
- Mystic Jackie tucked behind the winter scarves
- Survivor Jackie in a box marked “deal with later”
This morning, I realised the truth:
The cupboard only works when everything inside belongs to the same person.
The wholeness is the truth.
My work is not just mine.
Your healing is not just yours.
We are part of something bigger, something that wants to move through us, not just sit on a dusty shelf.
🧹 The Clearing Out
As I reflected on 2025, it didn’t feel like a dramatic ending.
It felt like opening that cupboard and finally pulling everything out onto the floor.
You know that moment when it looks messier before it gets clearer.
And as I sorted through the metaphorical boxes, I realised:
The HR consultant identity isn’t “ending.”
It ended.
The chapter is already closed.
It’s like finding old gadgets you once thought were essential, the things you kept “just in case.” And when you really look at them, you realise:
- They were useful once
- They taught you something
- They served their purpose
- You don’t need them anymore
So you thank them.
You let them go.
You make space.
And that’s exactly how it felt this morning.
By clearing out that cupboard, I’m creating room for what I do want:
- The work that changes how people think and feel
- The sessions where fears and phobias dissolves at the door
- The liberation that feels like putting down a heavy suitcase you didn’t realise you were carrying
The truth of who I am now, not who I used to be
I haven’t asked for permission.
I haven’t waited to feel ready.
I simply acknowledged what had already happened.
🌟 My Focus for 2026
Now that the cupboard is clear, here’s what I’m choosing to place inside with intention:
- Letting my work be seen as the medicine it is
- Allowing my lived experience to be authority, not marketing
- Speaking from the place where intuition and strategy meet
- Trusting that my voice is part of something larger
- Showing up as the guide I already am
For you, it might look different.
If you’re still reading this, I know you’re ready to start clearing out your own cupboard too.
This year isn’t asking you to reinvent yourself.
It’s asking you to reveal yourself
“Fear dissolves the moment we realise it was only ever a story we outgrew.” — J. McGinnis
📝 Journal Prompts for Your Own Revelation
When exploring what this year is asking of you, here are some prompts to guide your own unveiling:
1. What truth about myself have I been avoiding, even though I know it’s time to live it?
2. Where am I still acting small, and what would it look like to participate fully in my life?
3. What identity or role has already died, even if I haven’t acknowledged it yet?
4. What fear is ready to dissolve under the full moon’s light?
5. How am I being called to contribute to the collective — not from obligation, but from soul?
6. What part of me feels most connected to the world-soul, and how can I honour that connection this year?
7. If I stopped waiting to be “ready,” what would I reveal?
As I finish writing this, my tea has gone cold, the day has brightened, and yet I feel more awake than I have in months.
This is the year of truth.
The year of embodiment.
The year of spaciousness — the kind that only comes after a good, honest clear out.
And I’m stepping into it with you, fully, openly, unapologetically.
Love it! ❤️ 🙏
