In this episode, Joanna shares how she intentionally enters a new year rather than rushing into it, and why January is a powerful threshold for choosing the same path or the soul path. She introduces the four rituals she uses each January to create an extraordinary year — including her word for the year, reflective review, designing a year of memories, and vision boarding — alongside powerful journal prompts to uncover true desires and universal guidance from the Strength tarot card. This episode is an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and consciously choose your No Ordinary Woman era.

The Rituals:

1 Chose a word for the year to create a powerful context to help lead yourself forward

2 Review the year that has just passed - what were your lessons? What were your strengths? What were you most grateful for?

3 Create memories - what memories do you want o look back on when you reach the end of the year. Be intentional about the memories you wish to create.

4 Create a vision board - vision board are powerful tools, they are not just magic. In a later episode this month we will explore the science behind creating a powerful vision board

SOUL - some journal prompts for you:

1. If no one else’s expectations mattered this year, what would I secretly want more of?
2. Where in my life do I feel most alive — and where do I feel most constrained? What is that showing me?
3. What desire keeps returning, even when I try to ignore it?
4. If I trusted myself completely, what would I choose next?
5. What kind of woman do I want to be at the end of this year — not what do I want to achieve, but who do I want to embody?

A bonus one…If you were to fully embrace your No Ordinary Woman Era, what would that unleash for you?

Universal Guidance - Strength

As always, I pulled a tarot card to support this episode — and I pulled the Major Arcana card Strength.

And I love this so much for January.

Because Strength is not about force.
It’s not about pushing.
It’s not about proving anything.

Strength is quiet confidence.
Inner steadiness.
The courage to lead yourself with compassion rather than control.

This card reminds us that the most powerful kind of strength comes from trust:

Trust in yourself.
Trust in your instincts.
Trust in your ability to meet whatever this year brings.

Strength asks us:
Where can you soften instead of harden?
Where can you choose self-trust over self-doubt?

This year doesn’t require you to become tougher.

It asks you to become truer.

Is it your turn to experience The Shift?

The Shift is a 90-minute private mentoring session where we slow everything down, get radically honest, and create clarity around what needs to change — so you can move forward with intention rather than momentum.

It’s for the woman who knows she can’t walk the same path this year and doesn’t want to wait until December to realise that nothing changed.

Happy New Year!

This is the final in the Festive mini series designed to help you close out 2025 and step powerfully into 2026.

I share 5 questions to help you step into the identity you want to embody this year. Grab your journal and have fun exploring these questions...

QUESTION 1 — “Who do I refuse to be anymore?”

QUESTION 2 — “What desire have I been too afraid to admit?”

QUESTION 3 — “What emotional state will I no longer negotiate with?”

QUESTION 4 — “What identity do I need to embody to hold the life I want?”

QUESTION 5 — “What becomes possible when I lead myself?”

UNIVERSAL GUIDANCE — Ten of Wands

The card that came through for this episode is the Ten of Wands, and its timing couldn’t be more aligned with the beginning of a new year. This card is a mirror — showing us the weight we’ve normalised, the responsibilities we’ve absorbed, and the invisible emotional loads we’ve been carrying out of habit, not necessity. The Ten of Wands arrives when a woman has taken on so much that she can no longer see the path ahead clearly. And its message for you is simple but liberating: You were never meant to carry it all. This is the year where you stop dragging old expectations, outdated identities, and inherited pressures into your future. The questions you’re reflecting on today aren’t just about vision — they’re about release. They’re about choosing what is yours to hold, and gently setting down everything that blocks your capacity to rise. The Ten of Wands invites you into a new level of self-leadership — one where you lead from clarity, not overwhelm; from intention, not obligation. Your next chapter requires space. Let this be the moment you create it.

If you would love my support to help you develop deep clarity and confidence about the woman you are becoming in 2026, why not book a Complimentary Discovery Call?

I will gift you an hour of coaching to help you move forward with clarity and confidence and avoid living the same year on repeat. You can book the discovery call HERE

Thank you for listening — and for choosing to become No Ordinary Woman.

See you next week.

I hope you love this special episode to close the year out.

The tarot card I pulled for this Threshold Ceremony is Temperance, and its message could not be more aligned with what this episode holds. Temperance is the energy of integration — the gentle blending of who you were with who you are becoming. It’s the reminder that transformation isn’t abrupt or forceful; it’s a sacred alchemy. This card invites you to honour the middle space, the in-between, the moment where the old self has dissolved but the new self is still forming. Temperance whispers: “There is no rush. Your becoming unfolds in perfect timing.” As you move through this guided visualisation, allow the energy of Temperance to hold you — balancing what you’re releasing with what you’re ready to receive, helping you step through the doorway of your next chapter with softness, harmony, and inner peace.

I wish you a Happy New Year and I hope you join me for Season Two of Becoming No Ordinary Woman in January
