From Shedding to Stepping Forward:
My Heart for 2026!
What did 2025 really represent and what is 2026 calling me to do?
I’ve been sitting with this question a lot lately. For me, 2025 was a year of shedding. Not the pretty kind of shedding that looks graceful on social media but the real kind:
- shedding expectations that suffocated me
- shedding versions of myself I created just to survive
- shedding roles that no longer matched my spirit
- shedding silence around pain, grief, and exhaustion
- shedding relationships that loved the “work” I did but not the “woman” I am
Shedding is uncomfortable, because it means the old casing breaks open. Old identities crack. Old coping mechanisms fall apart. Old patterns get exposed. But here’s what I learned:
"You cannot heal and still hold everything that hurt you."
The Hard Questions
2025 asked me hard questions that forced me to look deeper:
- ♥ What are you still carrying what God never asked you to carry?
- ♥ Where are you shrinking to keep the peace?
- ♥ What do you need to grieve that you haven’t admitted yet?
- ♥ Where do you need to say no so your soul can say yes?
Some days I felt strong. Some days I felt lost. Some days grief and faith sat at the same table in my chest. And still I shed. Not because I wanted to, but because my next season required it.
2026: Stepping Forward
Now here we are….2026. And the energy feels different. If 2025 was shedding, 2026 is stepping forward. This is the year of:
Not “new year, new me.” No, truer me. The version of me that isn’t carrying what was never mine. The version rooted in peace, wholeness, boundaries, and purpose. The version that is empowered, transforming, and healing.
Permission to Become
This year is not about perfection, it’s about permission. Permission to:
This is the year I walk differently. Not faster. Not louder. Just truer.
Real Talk TYME Reality Check!
Healing is not always pretty. Some days you step forward confident. Some days you step forward trembling. Some days stepping forward simply means getting out of bed and trying again. Progress is still progress even when it’s quiet.
You did not shed all of that in 2025 just to stay stuck in 2026.
You didn’t release old pain, labels, habits, or versions of yourself just to go back and pick them up again.
Reflection Questions for You
Take a deep breath and ask yourself:
1. What did I shed in 2025 that I refuse to carry into 2026?
2. Where is God inviting me to move, even if I still feel afraid?
3. What part of me is being reborn right now?
Write it. Pray it. Speak it out loud. Your voice matters in your own life.
My Declaration for 2026
I am walking into this year:
lighter • wiser • softer in heart • stronger in boundaries • clearer in purpose
I release what broke me. I honor what shaped me. I step forward into what is becoming.
Your turn, I’d love to hear from you:
What did you shed in 2025? What are you stepping into in 2026?
Drop it in the comments, or message me privately if it’s personal.
You don’t have to do your healing journey alone—that’s what Real Talk TYME is here for.
