Shake Off the Shoulds: A Permission Slip for the New Year
A 60-minute guided journaling workshop to clear out the pressure, reconnect to what you actually want, and let your inner compass lead the way into 2026.
You don't need more resolutions.
You need relief from the pressure.
If you’re ending the year feeling pulled in ten directions by expectations — your own and everyone else’s — this workshop is your off-ramp.
It’s a space to slow down, tune in, and actually hear yourself again, so you can be led into 2026 by your inner guidance instead of the shoulds.
No checklist.
No self-improvement agenda.
Just giving yourself room to be, permission to want what you want, and a safe container to let it emerge on the page through guided journaling.
In this workshop, you'll
-
Shake off the mental and emotional shoulds you’ve been carrying
-
Tune into your inner compass (instead of everyone else’s voices)
-
Let what truly matters to you right now rise to the surface
-
Affirm the direction of your inner guidance — not pressure or people-pleasing
-
Leave with a renewed sense of connection to yourself and a calmer, clearer sense of your next self-led step
This is for you if...
-
You’re tired of pressure-driven goal-setting
-
You want the new year to feel like an alive invitation, not another obligation
-
You crave a warm, grounded space to reconnect with yourself
-
You get your best insights when you feel open, not pushed
-
You want a guided journaling experience in supportive community instead of doing it alone
