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.

Included Segments:

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.

Christmas doesn’t always feel magical — and for many of us, the holidays carry grief, loss, and complicated emotions that don’t disappear just because the calendar says it’s time to celebrate.

In this episode, CQ shares a deeply personal Storytime about Christmas grief — from childhood loss to the quiet ache that can resurface year after year — and what it’s taken to understand and make space for those feelings without guilt or pressure.

This isn’t a lesson or a how-to. It’s an invitation to slow down, breathe, and meet the season exactly where you are — whether that’s joy, sorrow, anger, or somewhere in between.

✨ If the holidays feel heavy this year, you’re not alone. This episode is a reminder that surviving the season is sometimes enough — and that your grief belongs here, too.

Season 2 kicks off with a truth we all wrestle with — divine timing.

What if the delays in your life aren’t denials… but sacred detours?

In this episode, CQ explores the spiritual language of timing, trust, and surrender. Through personal stories, energetic insight, and a little tough love, we dive deep into what it means to wait, to align, and to move when Spirit says now — not when your ego demands it.

Season 1 was the beginning — the cracking open, the voice finding, the healing stirring just under the surface.

This time? CQ returns with deeper roots, richer broth, and the kind of soul-medicine you only learn after walking through the fire.

In Season 2 of Spirit Gumbo with CQ, the stories are still here… but the focus is shifting. This season leans into teaching, clarity, and real spiritual tools you can weave into your own life. The heart work gets gentler. The truth gets bolder. The lessons get lived.

✨ What’s cooking this season:

• Divine timing & sacred pauses
• Energy leaks in a 24/7 world
• Creative droughts and blocked intuition
• Grief, boundaries, and nervous-system truth
• That strange in-between space where desire meets reality
• …and all the soul lessons Spirit’s been whispering

You’ll still hear Storytime with CQ — but this season brings more integration, more reflection, and more spiritual guidance you can actually use. Less noise. More depth. No more weekly trailers — just full episodes, full teachings, and full presence.

Season 2 of Spirit Gumbo with CQ premieres Tuesday, December 9.

Grab your spoon. Sip your tea.

A new season is simmering — and it drops soon.

Is it all just random… or is Spirit speaking?

In this Season 1 finale of Spirit Gumbo with CQ, we’re stirring the pot on synchronicity — those perfectly timed moments, repeating signs, and soul nudges that feel too aligned to be coincidence.

✨ We’ll start with a Gumbo Bite called Spirit’s Breadcrumbs — a short soul‑nudge about how Spirit leaves signs all around us.

📖 In Storytime with CQ — It’s All Starting to Come Together — I share the unexpected synchronicities that led to the creation of this podcast.

🌀 Then we dive into the main theme, The Truth Behind Synchronicity — what synchronicity really is, how it differs from coincidence, and how to recognize when Spirit is calling your attention to something deeper.

🃏 We’ll pull a Tarot Truth Bomb to see what message Spirit might be sending you right now…

👀 And I’ve got a Spirit Side-Eye titled Here’s Your Sign, Stop Ignoring It — for all the folks who ask for signs, and then act like they didn’t see ’em.

This episode wraps up Season 1 — but the magic doesn’t stop here.

We’ll be taking a short break and returning in December for Season 2 with more stories, more Spirit, and more stirring of the gumbo pot.

Ever had a moment that felt just a little too perfect to be random?

In the Season 1 finale of Spirit Gumbo with CQ, we’re stirring the pot on synchronicity — those repeating numbers, signs, and spiritual breadcrumbs that show up when Spirit is trying to get your attention.

✨ I’ll share a personal Storytime about how this podcast came together through a series of synchronicities I couldn’t ignore.

💫 We’ll explore what synchronicity really is, how it differs from coincidence, and why divine timing is just one piece of Spirit’s bigger conversation.

🃏 And yes, there’s a Tarot Truth Bomb and a little Side-Eye for those of y’all asking for signs and then acting like they didn’t show up.

Episode 8 of Spirit Gumbo — and the Season 1 finale — drops soon.

Grab your spoon… it’s almost time to stir the pot one more time.

What if silence wasn’t punishment — but preparation?

In this reflective episode of Spirit Gumbo with CQ, we’re stirring the pot on the quiet seasons — the moments when Spirit feels distant, and the world seems to slow down without explanation.

✨ I’ll begin with a Gumbo Bite called The Sacred Pause — a short soul-stirrer on the divine wisdom hidden in rest.

📖 Then in Storytime with CQ — Rest, Cry, Release — I share how Spirit pulled me into stillness, and how that silence shaped my healing, my clarity, and my path forward.

🔥 Our main teaching explores The Wisdom of Sacred Pauses — what silence really means, how to sit with it, and why rest is just as sacred as action.

🔮 Spirit drops in with a Tarot Truth Bomb — What Speaks in the Silence — and yes, we’re pulling cards that speak without sound.

👀 And of course, I’ve got a Spirit Side-Eye ready for hustle culture — and all the false promises it tries to sell us about “earning our worth.”

This episode may be shorter than usual, but that’s the point.

Sometimes less is more… and silence isn’t empty — it’s sacred.

🎧 Grab your tea, light your candle, and come stir this quiet but powerful brew with me.
