Welcome to Season 3 of Bright Side Up and a long-overdue catch-up with Erin and Chelsea!
This year, Erin and Chelsea aren’t adding habits, goals, or pressure. They’re removing the things that quietly drain energy, joy, and alignment.

From overcommitment and people-pleasing to relationships that no longer fit, hustle disguised as wellness, and outdated narratives about time and “being behind,” this episode flips the usual new year, new you script on its head.
We talk about:

• Why “busy” is often a boundary issue
• Letting go of relationships without villainizing anyone
• Releasing the need to explain yourself
• Rest as a nervous-system necessity (not laziness)
• Trusting your own timeline — especially in midlife

This episode is for anyone who feels stretched thin, quietly burnt out, or ready to choose peace without burning their life down.
You’re not behind. You’re becoming.

One of our most listened to episodes in Season 2. Did you miss it? Well here ya go...

Here's the thing, mornings feel so much lighter when we give ourselves a little love the night before. In this episode, we're talking about how just a few mindful minutes before bed can completely shift the energy of your tomorrow. And no, this isn't about having some Pinterest-perfect evening routine. It's about simple, doable things that actually make your life easier.
We're covering the game-changers that really work: laying out clothes to skip the morning wardrobe spiral, doing a gentle kitchen reset that helps you wake up to calm instead of clutter, and prepping what you can (coffee, lunches, smoothie ingredients) so your sleepy morning brain gets a break. We'll also talk about taking two minutes to peek at tomorrow's calendar so you can go to bed feeling clear instead of anxious, setting a kind tech boundary that helps you actually rest, and carving out just five minutes for something that refills your cup, whether that's journaling, stretching, or a little skincare moment.
If you have kids, we've got you covered: quick tidy-ups, backpack checks, and simple routines that turn chaotic mornings into something more manageable.
This episode is all about being gentle with yourself while setting your future self up for success. It's not about doing more, it's about caring for tomorrow's version of you with less stress and more ease. Because you deserve mornings that feel good.

Tune in and start winning your mornings tonight!

This is the episode you listen to when you’re ready to close the loop on 2025 and step into 2026 with clarity, confidence, and momentum.

In our 69th episode and final episode of 2025, we’re breaking down how to intentionally wrap up a powerful 9 year and set yourself up for a bold, action-oriented 1 year ahead. We talk about what a 9 year actually means for your life, why completion is non-negotiable right now, and how to clear physical, emotional, and energetic clutter so you’re not dragging old stories into a new chapter.

We’re also diving into the shift from the Chinese Year of the Snake into the Year of the Horse, what this transition symbolizes, how it impacts your energy, and how to work with it instead of against it. Think intuition to momentum. Wisdom to movement. Reflection to execution.

Erin also shares the exact game-changing ChatGPT prompt she uses to get clear, accurate insight and actionable advice, so you can stop spiraling, start deciding, and move forward with intention.

This episode is part manifestation, part strategy, part reality check, with tangible steps you can take right now to create alignment and action in 2026.

If you’ve felt like something is ending, something is calling, or you’re ready to move differently next year… this is your sign.

Wrap up 2025 with intention.

Step into 2026 with direction.

Let’s go.
