What if we let go of “new year, new me” and stepped into “new year, real me?” What if welcoming back the parts of yourself you’ve been sidelining is the most magnetic way to begin 2026? In this powerful kickoff to the year, Lacy and Jessica explore the energetics of the portal between the winter solstice and the New Year—a scientifically and spiritually potent window for quantum-level manifestation. Together, they unpack the theme of purpose: not just career, but the soul’s authentic expression across all areas of life. You’ll learn how to reconnect with your inner child, tune into intuitive pings, and navigate the collective shifts shaping the new paradigm. This episode is both a grounded guide and a gentle invitation to step into 2026 with clarity, intention, and alignment—rooted in your truest self.

A
Welcome to the New year, everyone. What a big year this is going to be.
B
I would be shocked if your vision for your future self wasn't significantly bigger at this time of year versus any other. Take advantage of that.
A
You're gonna fucking manifest what you want.
B
What if you could walk into 2026 with more peace, more ease, more alignment, more true authentic joy and expression, more pur. That is what we are all manifesting over here at tbm. We're just coming off of the Return to Magic Challenge. I'm still going through it and integrating and pulling in some pieces. But as we step into 2026, I'm thinking so much about my alignment, my energy, who I want to show up as in 2026. What are the places and spaces I need to clear out, the things I need to focus on, fortify my no to the things that I am ready to drop off and the things that I'm ready to welcome in. And where do I have space in my life to welcome those things in? These are just some of the things that have been popping in my mind as we enter this new year and step into truly this portal chapter where the energy is so heightened and the potential for change feels even more magnetic than other times of the year. Not in a over the top setting our goals and our standards so high that within a month we fall off of our practice, but in a very intentional, slow and steady way of nurturing and showing up for ourselves. I feel like the Return to Magic Challenge that we just did as a community in December has really set the stage of what peace feels like in my nervous system. And it's made me even more aware when I'm out of alignment from that peace. And I'm really using that as a through line into this new year of like, okay, let's ever so slightly notice when we're off kilter. So we're releasing in the membership we released last week in the membership a little portal where if you're wanting a little craft your manifestation list exercise, we have one in there for you where you can craft your list, you can do the dream life di you can vision hold the biggest vision of what you're desiring for next year and then figure out what expanders and things you're starting to notice and call in and write them down and just get really clear about what feels true to you in this season of Life. And we have our big New Year sale going on right now. The portal is still open where you can join for only $12 for your first month and then lock in the sale price for 30% off after that for the rest of the year. This sale window is closing on January 5th, so if you want to get this discount, this is the window to grab it. So if you have been thinking about getting into the membership, if you've been thinking about doing the Return to Magic, if you've been thinking about doing the Money Challenge, if you've been thinking about doing how to manifest or crafting your list or getting intentional or even just starting this work, this is the season to do it. This is the moment to do it. The portal to do it. So much is happening over this next year as Lacy and I will get into in this episode. So if you are needing tools to support you, we've got your back and I'm so excited for what 2026 holds for all of us. Okay, let's get into it. And now a word from our partners. If there is one product I could recommend that has been helping my skin feel youthful and radiant, it is Bond Charge's Red Light Face Mask. I'm not someone who has tried or tested any injectables, fillers, botox, anything and for this chapter of my life, at least this season, it has not called to me. So I'm constantly looking for ways that I can support my skin and nourish my skin while aging as gracefully as possible. And like all of Bon Charge's products, they have the most science backed, high quality and optimized products. Their Red light face mask has red light at 6:30nm and near infrared light at 8:50nm which are the most beneficial wavelengths of red and near infrared light to deliver maximum and lasting results to your skin. It helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles, it plumps the skin for that glowy post facial looking skin. It can help improve texture and tone. And I've noticed because I have so many sunspots from my young college years in the tanning beds which I so regret. It really helps reduce the appearance of the sun spots by stimulating skin cell renewal, boosting the collagen and improving my overall skin tone. And you can see results in just 10 minutes a day. I know currently my habit with it is first thing in the morning when I lay down for my DI or a meditation, I'll pop on the mask. I do the 20 minute setting, everything at the highest level setting because I want the most out of it and I've only been doing it two or three times a week and I notice a difference every single time. So if you are looking to elevate your skin care in such a deep way. I highly recommend Bon Charge's red light face mask. And if you use code magnetic all caps, M A G N E T I C, you can get 15% off at checkout. Again, that's M A G N E T I C for 15% off at checkout and go to bond charge.com or check the link in the show notes. And now onto the episode. Welcome back, everyone, to 2026 expanded. Happy new Year, Lacy. Welcome.
A
So excited to be here. What a big year this is going to be. I'm so excited. This is the most important episode I feel like, to listen to, to start.
B
The year so huge. I almost want to start with the portal energy that we're still in right now. So you. Ever since I've known you even followed the brand, all of that. You've always talked about how potent this window is before the new year. And it was so funny. This year, like, as we're feeling into, we're like, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's feeling, like, really strong. And I started in my little research end because I'm like, okay, like, why? Like, what's the history? What's the rituals? What's the science behind it? There's so much in this window. Talk a little bit about what you're feeling into and then this portal in general.
A
So every year from just straight up manifestation energetics channeling, I noticed somewhere around the. And I think this is both solstices, to be honest. We'll have to do the research around summer, and that's how we started kicking off doing challenges during this time. That's the history of it. So basically somewhere, like right before the solstice and like a good week, week and a half after, it's like the Yule portal time, which I think traditionally is the 21st through the 4th ish. However, I feel the energy sort of percolating and coming in a week before the solstice, to be honest. So straight up, just like from the universe, Manifestation energetics and like a good week, week and a half after that fourth mark. And it's. We've been internally just being like, we need to name this. Because why it's so big is every year I noticed in my own manifestation practice, and then we've gotten to, like, really look at research and see this within this community who's done the work when you plant your seed during this time. So that's casting your list and you actually do your due diligence. So this year, that would be like the depths of inner child work. And then you. You navigate anything that's coming at you. So it's tests and you're like, whoa, that's an expander I shared on my substack actually, many weeks ago called how I use the morning pages to manifest. If you buy Candlelights, my substack. And in there I actually do this. It's also if you're a member inside of the pathway, the daily check in. So if you are, if you planted your seed, you're doing your due diligence this year being the most potent because it's inner child. Like, you cannot manifest without an integrated inner child in context to what you're manifesting. So it's like, could not have been a better unblocking. And then you're navigating what the universe is mirroring towards you through that daily check in. You're gonna fucking manifest what you want the next year. It's like this crazy, thresholdy, energetic portal that just like super speeds your process. And I've known that, and that's why I launched the very first challenges we used to do and now continue to do during this time period. But then you went in, like, this isn't something we've been marketing or anything like that, but you went in and did the deep.
B
I had to pull up.
A
Yeah, there's a whole. There's so much backing this up.
B
Well, it's actually really wild. It's both historic, spiritually, and from a science perspective.
A
Well, there's a lot of that magic energy around the world. Right. People are getting into that. And I think there's something. Obviously you're going to dig into the science a little bit more with us, but historically, like, even, you know, every culture who celebrated and followed the seasons, there's so much there about the solstice. Right. It's the shortest day of the year. It's when the sun literally rebirths before it begins to get lighter and lighter more and more each evening. So there's this liminal, incredible, magical space that even my heritage. This was the year where you, like, cleaned out the clutter, you dusted the house, the old energy, you swept the hearth and you got the old ashes out to let the light back in. So there's this like, play of light and dark and magic. And so much of people's energy is. Is in a higher vibration of hope and anything is possible. They're more charitable. So there's this like, overall frequency of magic. But now hit us with what you found in the research.
B
A thousand percent. Well, also, so Many traditions, like have the Yule, I guess there's the sun conjunct, the galactic center between the 18th and 20th, heightened awareness, cosmic truth, the veil is thin, 12 holy nights, omen days, the solstice, the Gregorian new year for January 1st. So much of the ancient traditions, rituals, all of that point to so many happening during this little pocket. And I'm like, that can't be a coincidence. Like, they all must have been feeling into something. And then going into the science aspect of it, they call it the. The temporal landmark effect, which basically is that people are more likely to initiate a major change or identity shifts around a fresh start and liminal calendar points. So the new year, a birthday, a holiday, things like that, like, we're already primed. And so not only is it two major holidays, New Year's being one of them, but also whatever winter holiday you celebrate, whether that's Hanukkah or Christmas or Kwanzaa or anything like that, or Yule, whatever is there, there's usually another one close by. So you're kind of primed for this openness. But on top of that, as we're switching gears into the new year, your brain is ready to make that transition. It's almost, like, more open. It's more mutable. It's more able to drop old stories with more ease. It's able to dream bigger and see, like, what's possible. But then also that essence of play and magic and hope and everything that's really intensified during this. This time of year. Play can open your neuroplasticity significantly because it puts you in that theta state. It puts you in the wonder state that childlike play is where you can dream up your dream life. Like, that's why doing the dream life di this time of year, the abundant life di. Like, I would be shocked if your vision for your future self wasn't significantly bigger at this time of year versus any other, potentially the summer solstice as well. But it's just very interesting to see, like, oh, there's something happening where our brain is actually more open, less rigid, not holding on to stories as much, ready to be flexible, ready to let things go. So you have this kind of amazing window that's both mystical and scientific, being open, ready for change. And then it's like, take advantage of that, do the reprogramming, craft the list. If you have this opening where things are a little bit easier to shift, why not put everything into play there? It's wild.
A
Well, and also, so we're like, throwing all this info out at you. But it's also fucking psychotic that. Remember when we were actually taking stats of, we would send out a survey of people who finished the end of your challenge all the way to the end, and then also shared their manifestation. And 98.3% of people manifested in the next year. So not. This isn't just like a fun, playful portal. It's like if you're wanting to manifest shit, you do it in this portal because there's momentum behind you. It's just we've seen it throughout the years. And so if you're sitting there and you're like, okay, what do I do? And we're going to get into a deeper topic on purpose. If you did not cast your list, do that now. If you have not done the Inner Child Challenge three weeks, you could do it all in three days. If you wanted to be honest, you could do it very quickly. And the last little bits of this portal, using that daily check in journaling. So all you're doing and that daily check in is you're like, where was I expanded today? What triggers came up today? What pings came up today? And then seeing, you know, obviously you're working through your blocks in the Inner Child, but seeing what's the through line, but what is. What does it show? How are they all connected? What's it showing me? Just take advantage of this little bit of space. So it's not that crazy. It's not that heavy lifting and it's going to propel things. And so that starts to parlay us into the topic at hand that is so important for 2026, which also lives inside of the Inner Child workshop. So let's move into that. But yes, if you wanted to take advantage of that playful space right now because, well, maybe, maybe we talk about 2026 first. Yeah, maybe we talk about why you want that propelled momentum behind you.
B
It's interesting. I feel like every year we're like, things can't get any crazier. What else could come at me? Like, can't I just have a super chill year where everything comes in with ease and yes and no, you can have that, but you have to really do the work to up level and change and prepare for it and hold the space for it. And I think as we're stepping, you know, Jenna Zoe talks about this a lot. We're gonna have her New York stop really deep diving into this. Available in the pathway later this month touching on all the new paradigm aspects. But I think if I'm just like tuning into what I'm feeling into for the collective and like why this is happening and why it feels so ins. It feels like we're being asked to create a new world. And I know that sounds insane, but I think we've had so much of like, this isn't working and this is like, oh my gosh, that's horrible. And you know, how can this be operating this way? And things are just like, we've tried to fix broken things, broken foundations, and it's just not working. And so it feels like this year is getting everyone to rethink of like, where is my internal compass? Where am I being guided? How am I supposed to make an impact from. It doesn't have to be a grand way. It could be like a small way. It could be a small way in your community or your family or your home. But everyone has a very unique, special impact that they can make, that they can share their gifts, their light, their essence with the world. And all of us living in that, I think is going to help us start to create a new way of living, a new way of being, a new world for. I know that sounds crazy, but like a new way of being in the world in 2027 and beyond.
A
Yeah. And I think some key takeaways, I don't want to make them too convoluted, but. And Jenna again will explain this so much deeper in the pathway, like Jessica said later this month from our New York stop. But also what the universe has been channeling to me. So we're moving from the collective into the individual. And that you're like, well, what does that mean? Well, it means things structurally the way they have been in the past, like corporations, the government, how it's operating, the school complex and job structure. All of that is going to be. And it won't be as obvious as it is. It's already starting. It's all going to show shift and move into an individual driven paradigm. So basically we're going to see as we already are, corporations falling. We see that already with AI mass layoffs happening. The economy is, it's all fluctuating right now. We're going to, we've seen like government change ups and things happening, but it's going to get louder and louder in 2026 and also through 2027 into the new paradigm, into the Aquarian age. And so the biggest focal point for anybody listening here of how to navigate that is going to be understanding your purpose. And when we say purpose, it doesn't just mean in career, it actually means who you authentically and uniquely have come onto the planet to be in every aspect, aspect of your life. Career is going to be a defining part of it, of course, because that's where we seek our greatest security. However, even that is going to be shifting. But it means not just in career. It means in every ripple effect you make on the planet, means in your social media and your relationships as you parent, if you are a parent, in your everything. And so the biggest navigation that's going to help that is we even have an amazing deep imagining we put out during the challenge and during the speaking.
B
Tour, which is the purpose and souls essence. Di.
A
Exactly. So, again, if you're using this portal and you're going in and you're doing that inner child challenge, we had this already super laced in because we were super aware of what was coming down the pipeline in 2026. Doing that deep imagining is really going to give you a ton of clarity on what we're talking about. And so the stripping is going to continue this year, meaning that last year, it felt really abrasive. It would happen. And it was like, whoa. It was like the fires. There's a really good example, you know, and for a lot of us in Los Angeles, and it was like, bam, stripped. You know, it's just like. And then it's like all this trauma around it. But what Jenna talks about is this year we're not going to have as much time to have a lot of drama surrounding things. It's going to be a lot quicker.
B
And.
A
And the more we are regulated through understanding our purpose, understanding our greatest desires through our purpose, we are going to be able to navigate it with a lot more ease, quickness. And then landing with our manifestations, which not many people who don't have the tools are going to be able to have that connection. In fact, they're going to have a lot of identity crisis. A lot of. A lot of what people truthfully experienced, I think, during the pandemic, which was like the first big stripping they had probably ever experienced in their life in such a collective capacity. So really understanding your purpose and gifts again, and that's in every aspect of your life. So it's like the fringe stuff you were interested in when you were little, the gifts you've carried through multiple lifetimes, these are all things you see in that deep imagining and get clarity on, on a subconscious level, not in your conscious mind. Like, while you're hearing me talk about this, it's the way you're intuitively gifted or the many ways you are. And Jenna really talks about this on the stop where she's like, if you're obsessed with water, you know, like, I'm obsessed with fiber. That's like my thing right now. If you're obsessed with that, you're going to need to lean in as deeply as you can. Because there's something about the new paradigm that the way you see it, in your own unique way is going to be what, like, helps the ripple in the world and the effect. So, yeah, that's just going to be a really important foundation to understand and take with you and keep coming back through, through all of 2026. And then beyond that with the stripping. How last year felt really abrasive. This year is going to be a lot more same of the same, where it's like, whatever you're depending and clutching onto, that isn't truly something you need or authentic to you, and you're using it to validate yourself. It's gonna go like, no matter what, whether you like it or not, it's going this year, especially if it didn't go last year. So the stuff you're sitting here thinking about while we're talking, the, oh, what if that gets taken away? It most likely will. So what you can do right now through understanding your purpose in your gifts is what would you do if you didn't have that? Start doing that? Preparation. How would you live if you didn't have that thing? If that was gone? What would fill its space that you actually want? What's the thing that feels so nourishing in your nervous system, in your life and your desires? Because that's what should be filling that space as a manifestation. And in fact, that should be on your list you're casting in this miracle portal 2026, if you're a tbmer and you're doing this work, shouldn't feel like, oh, fuck, I'm scared. It should feel like, my God, thank you, universe, that you are going to push me out of any nest that is not in alignment with my truest soul's most greatest desires. And wait, I have the tools and the. The know with all of how to navigate that. And in fact, start calling in the thing I. I actually really want instead of the thing that I'm, like, so scared and clinging onto and won't let go of. Let me start calling that thing in now and working directly with you now so it doesn't have to be as abrupt and abrasive. Let's do it together. Because most of the world and most of the people, it's going to be extremely abrupt and abrasive. If you are a tbmer doing this pathway work, it doesn't have to be. And in fact, it shouldn't be. It can be this, like, gorgeous, beautiful dance with the universe that flows. What do you think, Jessica?
B
Okay. A couple of things I kept having, like, okay, this is this coming through. But the purpose and soul's essence. I want to extrapolate that on a little bit, because I think so much of the time when we talk about purpose or we hear purpose, it's like this one shiny thing that we have to define ourselves as has. And I want you to broaden that definition out and really see purpose as your soul authentically expressing itself in its fullest capacity in this season of life. Right? So it's not this one gift that you have, because everybody has. I love that you said this, Lacy. Like, everyone has multiple gifts. They have multiple things that they are good at. But in this season, in this moment in time, really being your own pattern reader, your own detective of, like, what are the things that I am drawn to that lit me up that I can look to and be inspired by or even feel jealousy or envy around? Like, let me start to see them as my roadmap and then let me reconnect back in that purpose and souls essence di with my soul. Like, what are the parts of me? And this is what we do in the Return to Magic Challenge. But what are the parts that I've disconnected from or not allowed myself to express fully? Because I learned it wasn't safe. Because I learned I wouldn't be loved. Because I learned I wouldn't get attention from my parents if I was loud and did this? So I learned to be quiet. Like, what are all those aspects of self that we really need to reclaim that have to do with this purpose in this season of life? And how you're meant to show up with alignment and to serve, but also in serving others, or whatever your purpose is, you are serving yourself, your soul. You're regulating. Like, this is the nourishment of how you're going to manifest your abundance. This is how you're gonna manifest your needs and all of those things. So I say that because I think so many people feel so distant from what that is. And I know for me, like, my impulse, when we first started the whole even speaking tour, on purpose, I was like, all right, let me go to my astrology. Let me go to my gene keys. Like, I wanna read all that stuff. Cause I was thinking still really looking for confirmation of what those Pieces of who I am were. And it was a great beginning thread. But ultimately what you're coming back to in this individual era is, can I trust that my desires are enough to be my roadmap? Can I trust that what pings and intuitive guidance is coming through to me is enough, that I don't need the extra backing? The extra backing is great. It's helpful. It's like reminding me it's like the wink and the nod from the universe. But can I actually really trust myself to be the one steering the ship in my life without all of the external validation? That's the other thing that kept coming through when you were talking, moving from that collective cycle into the individual. We're gonna have to stop clocking who we are and sensing our identity and our self worth based off of all of the external metrics that we're used to measuring ourselves on. Even in a very small, silly example like on Instagram, people really cared about followers for a long time. Like, that was a metric that meant your account was growing and things were going good. That's all changing and what is important. And the metrics now on Instagram are totally dependent upon what the person's goal is. So someone might just want a ton of views because they can get more ad partnerships. They don't care about the quality of the views, they just want more views. Great. That's that person's goal. Someone else might really care about comments because that means their communities engage, they're talking, views don't matter as much. But if they have a lot of comments, they have a lot of conversations that matters more. Amazing. Great for them. So you can see even there, like, this one broad metric of followers was something everybody aspired to, but now it's like, well, let's get individual. What are your needs and how do you serve them? And I know that was a social media, you know, example, but use that as a metaphor for everything else in life. Like, what are the metrics? What are the standards that you have been using to judge your success, happiness, purpose off of and say, okay, what if that was no longer the standard for society? What if I could just make up my own? What would they be? How would I say, this feels in alignment to me? What is in integrity with me? What is part of my values? What is part of the things I want to share with the world? Like, that is what we're being asked to really move into more of.
A
Yeah. And I would add to that too, just how Jessica's saying all this external, all these external metrics and markers that we're like, okay, if we fit into this box, we'll grow this way. And not just in career. We're talking about that's what people are doing personally, like in their lives. All of that is gonna melt because we're the real success. Success is going to start to come from is the purest forms of happiness and a lot less about career. Mark my words. You'll see purest forms of happiness, beauty, connection. It that's actually going to become the forefront again where social media and AI has really pushed that away. We're going to get so sick of it that we're going to be so much more about oh wait, how do I get that really good feeling when I'm at that dinner party with. With friends? And that's where I just sold my things that I make or whatever it is. Right. Like that's where we're gonna start to actually understand that feel so much better than all of those likes and comments I get on Instagram or whatever. So that's something that's coming. I think that I've been channeling a lot. Secondly, you know, was a big topic of conversation at our Austin stop. I believe that we're gonna stop seeing things in our life. We're gonna start to see that instead of being like, I'm an expert here, that actually we're going to take everything we love in our life and start sharing about that. So if you think of that for another analogy, everyone's life when they're so in their gifts and purpose, less about career, about the entirety of the things that light you up, that you're good at, that you love. It's going to become like one personal brand. So and that's not just on social media. It's actually going to be like when you host the dinner party because we're getting a lot more back to analog and connection at the dinner party. You're going to then like if I take myself as an example, you're going to be like knitting with friends and you're going to be sharing this thing that your other friend does and loves and brought. There's going to be a lot deeper of that connection happening. And. And so if I take myself, for example, I will no longer be mostly seen as like a manifestation expert. That's where substack is like a really good example that or you launching your YouTube that basically we're going to be having a lot of our extracurricular things. We're just getting these pings on and loving and they all Become one. So it's like when you look at Lacy Phillips, it's not going to just be like, oh, manifestation. It's going to be all of these things. Or if you see Jessica or if you see you, it's going to be everything in one wheelhouse. Because it's more about the individual now, less about structure, less about these structural ladders. Everything was an expert. Like, we moved into all of that, we're moving out of it. So just thinking about that in yourself.
B
That makes me so freaking excited because I feel like that's where, at least as a consumer of online content, there's so much fatigue. And there has been for me, like just watching things this year because it is so niche down, hyper specific. You only get this and I'm like, where is the humanity? Like, where's the person? It's so much more fascinating when a character in the film has like all these different aspects of them and those things together make up that really cool character. How do we allow more of that to be shown and seen and celebrated? And how do we value more of doing those things? Because I think that's going to be a big shift for people where they've been so used to putting their energy, their time into the one thing that they thought was whether it was going to make them money or maybe it was for their family or whatever. It was like they put so much into one bucket and now it's like, well, what if that's not my only bucket? What if it's this and this and this? And the combination of those things makes all of those things rise. So I think just vision, holding that. And I know our manifesting generators in the audience are like, I get to be all of me.
A
I can't wait. Yes, they're a great example, I think, of what is going to become interesting internally and externally for people coming down 2026 into 2027. So it's like you're hearing it here. How does that look for you?
B
If you are walking into this season feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, exhausted, tested, triggered in love, money, career, relationships, all of the things, or maybe just searching for clarity, you are not alone. It has been a massive year of endings, ego deaths and transformation cycles. And when that happens, it's always your inner child, your safety, your self worth, your nervous system that takes it the hit. Most people don't realize this, but your inner child is actually the one who is quietly running the show. Your triggers, your relationship patterns, your blocks, the decisions you make, even the level of success you'll allow yourself to have all root down to whether your inner child feels safe. That is exactly why we created the Return to magic challenge. A 15 day manifestation challenge guiding you to repairing your inner child.

And then we've been intuiting for a long time and I've already sort of mentioned it but like things are going back to analog. Hobbies are going to become big again, things you do by your hands again, games connecting over dinner, less over Instagram. Like people are going to get very allergic because of the hyper AI that's coming on. It's going to feel like all we're craving is getting back back to each other and getting back to how things were done before we became so absolutely reliant and addicted to distractions of technology. And so really starting as you're doing that deep imagining and getting into your gifts and your purposes, I'm going to start to say I don't even know if that's the Right word for the plural. But what have you been getting pings to be doing that's going to all become so much more fulfilling as you fill your space and time rather than scrolling in this new paradigm, in this move to individual in 2026 and 2027. So how are you on the forefront of that based on the information you're gathering as you learn your purpose and gifts?
B
The other piece is when you can connect back to your individual strengths, gifts. You can witness them in yourself. You can take the aligned action by spending time doing them. Think of how that increases your sense of self worth in relation to whatever you're manifesting. Becoming reconnected to self in an unapologetic, integrated, grounded way is the best thing you can do to manifest whatever you authentically want. So whatever your goals are, your dreams, if you're manifesting money and this like whatever you're calling in, having that connection, that thread to self that is so solid where you can hear your own voice, you can trust your instincts, you can follow through with them, you can share your authentic essence, you can play and have joy and all of these things, well, your self worth is just going off the charts and, and whatever you're going to call in, it's going to be so much easier from that grounded, rooted place. And so much of the groundwork we've laid in the return to magic challenge. Going through each of those inner child phases to be like, where do I not feel rooted? I mean we had so many people ask, like, I don't know what I liked as a kid, Like, I just don't even remember feeling safe to get to explore. If you are someone who has that or is like always feeling very lost about what their your things are, go back to those phases and allow your body to feel into safety, to feel into grounding, to be like, okay, if I didn't have it then, how can I do it now? How can I incorporate play and joy and hobbies and all of that stuff right now? Because they are the thread to your aligned authentic purpose.
A
Agreed.
B
I'm so excited for you guys. We have so much coming down the pipeline next year to help you navigate through so much of this. But if you're listening in now and you want to take advantage of that portal and you want to understand your authentic purpose and essence, we have a short little manifestation practice, manifestation list practice in the pathway membership that you can do through the end of this portal. Just crafting the list the journal prompts Lacy talked about, we have our dream life Di in there and then whether you've gone through the ch. The return to magic challenge, or you want to go through it again, or you haven't gone through it all yet, I would start there, really feel into those stages and phases with that through line of your purpose, doing that purpose and souls essence di. And even if you don't get clarity, we had this so many times throughout the challenge where people were like, just by being in this challenge and showing up every single day. Sometimes they got like crazy downloads in the DI's themselves. But even if it wasn't in the DI that day, they would be like driving or walking and then it would just like hit them. They're like, oh my God, I used to love this book. And oh my gosh, I have that memory of this. Things just started unlocking and peeling off so quickly where it like all was like, oh, I get why this and this was happening. Or I know what I'm supposed to do or I see the way that I'm supposed to show up in the world. Like it just all that clarity unlocked. So if you're having difficulty connecting to that clarity, that's the spot to be. And we are the very tail end of our end of year sale. So if you want to get in for the lowest prices, the lowest discount, literally this weekend is the time to do it.
A
Not last chance.
B
Yeah, literally last chance, but also last chance. You know, if you want to get in for this portal, you want to get in at the discount. If you're getting the ping, if you're feeling the calling, this is the window.
A
And it's the lowest sale we've actually ever done. We've never done it this low because we know what the economy is doing to people and we have the foresight psychically of what the economy, what's coming down the pipeline in the economy. So, like, this is the time to get in, to have the tools to navigate through all of 2026.
B
And I'm just excited. Like, this is just such a potent time for so much joy and ease to come back into our lives. I feel like things have felt really heavy over the past few years in so many ways. Like ebbed and flowed and seen how kismet and magical manifestations are coming through for people and how aligned and people are manifesting the things that their inner child always craved and desired from an authenticity place. The beautiful alchemy that's also happening at this time is so potent. So it's like lean into that deeper work so you can have this return to magic. So you can have this wow. Like, there is this beautiful essence in the world that's just, like, waiting to be tapped into and explored more. That's what I'm personally, like, so excited, especially when we're in these challenge cycles and portals. I'm like the mystical, magical timing, synchronicities, I'm just blown away by. And it just makes life feel way better. Living for.
A
I feel like last year really primed me for what this year can be. And I felt like last year, like everything being a three, six, I was like, like trying to. I was going through the rock bottoms and figuring out the energetics in real time around them. Whereas now this year, because everything we're talking about, I feel pretty integrated in. I'm. I'm sure there's going to be a lot more to be revealed to me this year, but I feel like I'm floating into it with ease and like a fairy and with hope and magic, and I feel as if I'm being held through it. So, yeah, I just want everybody to feel that, that experience going into this.
B
So good. Yeah, it feels like 2025 was. We thought we would prepare, but prepare for life in the old ways, operating from old systems, from wounding from fears, from limiting beliefs. And it was like, okay, look, now your pattern's very clear. These are the ways that you get in your way essentially in terms of what you want out of life. And so this year, it's like the decisions, when challenges in life come up will be so much easier because you're like, oh, I see what that is. Okay, I've already practiced this. I know how to move through this with alignment now versus having to revert back to the old patterns.
A
Amen. Welcome to the new year, everyone.
B
Yes. Let's do it. I hope you guys enjoyed that episode and are feeling hopeful and excited for this big year ahead. Here are some tool recommendations that you can start utilizing today to help set you up for 2026. First and foremost, we have our 2026 manifestation ritual in the app, which you can do to listen to the dream life Di, the future life Di. You can start dreaming up what is really wanting to come forward in this year, what feels true to you, even if it's not an exact thing, what feelings, what essence, what wants to come through, and then craft your manifestation list. You can do that in that little ritual. It takes a day, maybe two days tops. If you haven't done the Return to Magic challenge, I highly recommend it. If you are brand new to tbm, I also highly recommend it. This is going to be your foundation. This is going to really clear the cobwebs on any lingering blocks, any repeating patterns, any stuck energy that you're moving through right now to really set you up on the other side. And then the third place that I'll point you to, if you haven't done this already, is the How To Manifest workshop or our how to Manifest book in there. It takes you step by step through the exact how to Manifest formula. So you can not only craft your list in there, but also check on the expanders you need, the tests and triggers coming up, any aligned action you need to take, and really get clear on what things you want to start moving in 2026 to connect with your manifestations. And just a little manifestation story for you so you guys understand the power of this portal energy. Since I have worked at tbm, actually even two years before I worked at tbm, I've been doing the end of year challenges with tbm. So that means I've been crafting my list in this window from December to January every single year. And for the last seven years, my biggest manifestations have come through like clockwork within six to nine months after crafting my list at this time of year. Because I'm doing it not only with the portal, but then I'm using the TVM work throughout the year to unblock, to pull off layers, to move through whatever's coming up. And then, boom. My window is between, like, August and September. Every year, a major manifestation comes through. It's when I manifested my home. It's when I manifested my partner. It's when I manifested my job. It's when I manifested manifested my dog. It's when I manifested my biggest raises and promotions. Literally, something magical happens when I craft my list at this time of year. And by next fall, in my patterning, boom. That's when the energy's ready to shift. Everyone's gonna be different. Some people might have a little bit sooner, Some people might have a little bit later. But if you craft your list at this time and go through with this work, I'm telling you, things will shift. Here's to a Very Magical 2020.
