In this bonus episode, Claire invites you into a gentle, spacious end-of-year reflection for practitioners who want to plan their work in a way that honours their energy, their nervous system, and their cyclical nature. Instead of pushing into the new year with urgency, Claire offers a grounding practice centred around the Four Cs: your celebrations, your challenges, what’s currently in your cauldron, and the loops that want to be closed before you step into a new season.
Claire shares how this practice is supporting her as she reflects on a year filled with big transitions — from teaching Cycle Coach School to moving across the world and navigating her own health with more honesty. Lauren joins to offer her own Four Cs, speaking about the deep transformation of early motherhood, tending to her mental health, and learning to trust slower seasons in both life and business.
From there, Claire explores how practitioners can look at the year ahead through a cyclical lens: understanding your personal energetic season, choosing only the priorities that truly matter, and designing a year spacious enough to be sustainable. Rather than planning from pressure, this episode is an invitation to plan from clarity, self-trust, and rhythm.
This bonus episode is a beautiful companion for closing out 2025 and stepping gently into 2026 with clarity, softness and a strong cyclical foundation. It’s one to journal alongside, revisit throughout the year, and share with clients who crave cyclical structure in their work. Click play to move into the new year with more ease, intention, and cyclical alignment.
