New Year’s energy always promises “fresh starts” and “new yous” — but let’s be honest… the pressure to upgrade your life on January 1st can feel like a performance exam nobody signed up for.

Instead of hustling, perfecting, and trying to impress the universe, this New Year Special is all about stepping into 2026 with honesty, humor, and zero toxic expectations.

In this episode, CQ shares a truthful, slightly sassy Storytime about surviving the chaos of 2025, the emotional and spiritual work it demanded, and why she’s absolutely done with burnout culture, unrealistic resolutions, and performance pressure disguised as “self-improvement.”

This isn’t about becoming a “New You.”

It’s about growing into a kinder, steadier, more grounded version of yourself — at your own pace.

Storytime with CQ – I See You 2026

✨ If New Year’s resolutions stress you out, if you’re tired of hustle culture, or if you’re simply walking into 2026 with side-eye, humor, and self-respect, this episode is your permission to breathe… and just be better by December, not perfect in January.
