Hello, Anne-Marie. Welcome back to the Feminine Fire Podcast. I am so happy to have you back today. I'm so glad to be here to connect with you and your audience. Thank you. This is your second time on the show. You were here 12 months ago giving us the lowdown on the numerology of 2025, and I'm really looking forward to chatting with you today to talk about 2026 and what this means for us as spiritual business owners as space holders. I'd love you. just to kind of give us a bit of a 4 1 1 overview. About numerology and how it can really help us plan ahead and think about the year ahead as business owners. Absolutely. There's several different systems within a system. What I love about numerology is that it's complex, but yet it's very simple. One of the ways that we can use it in our life and business is through planning and understanding energetic cycles, and there are two cycles that we want to pay attention to. There's the collective energy and then there's our personal energy as well. Now, when we're looking at planning, when it comes to our life and business. These cycles, we're looking at one to nine. And we can also view that as a manifestation cycle as well. So there's the collective energy, there's the universal energy that everybody's going to be experiencing that's on the same page. And then there's our personal energy that adds a layer into that as well. So in 2025, we were all experiencing a universal nine energy. And in 2026 we are moving into a universal one energy. So we're about to start a manifestation cycle. I'm saying this because it's December, when we're recording this, we knew we would do that. Uh, but 2026 is the beginning of a manifestation cycle. So we just went through a major completion and then we get to start over. And then again, there are our layers, that add into this, that do inform about our personal experience. So everybody in 2025? Yes. Went through what that nine energy means, but we're all going to have different experiences because of that personal energetic cycle, if that makes sense. It does make sense and I'm excited to chat about what that looks like for all of us today. So let's dive into first, I think the universal energy of 2026 and what we're gonna kind of experience collectively in a one year. Okay. 2026 is exciting in the sense that it's not only a new cycle, but it's an initiation into energetic leadership. One energy is very much initiation energy. It is about new beginnings, starting a new journey. It's about trying new things and experimenting, but it also carries a high level of leadership energy as well. ideation, innovation. We can also look at it as one oneness, God, God, us all that is. So it's creator and source energy, which that really fires me up. I don't know about you, but I'm like, yes, please. I really, I love it. the precursor to that was obviously 2025. In order for us to really say yes and lean into this initiation, into energetic leadership, there was some work to be done in 2025. The energy of 2025 cleared out the debris. It really supported us to. Complete things, allow things to come to a close or come to an end. it's that death rebirth cycle. So tune into the death aspect of it, and again, release and detox and cleanse and just let go of anything that is no longer of service to us. When we look at it from an astrological perspective, 2025 was the year of the snake as well. So when you look at it from the snake perspective, we are, are shedding our skin because we've outgrown that skin and also represents the death rebirth. And so if we said yes to that and we did that work, 2025 to me was a rise from the shadows and lead with light. But in order to do that, we needed to actually go through the shadows. And so for some, there's been a lot of resistance to going through those shadows. Some just said yes, went all in. And it's been, you know, a big challenging year for many people because as we know. We get to say yes sometimes to completing things and, and allowing things to be let go and release them. But sometimes we don't have control over that. Sometimes it happens for reasons outside of our control. And, and either way, there's this level of grief that's involved because it's an ending and, it can be tough stuff, but if we really did do that work and lean into it, then 2026 gets to be this massive initiation, this invitation to, not only was the, container cleared in 2025, but it expanded. And so 2026 is this opportunity to consider what that container is, what we're putting in that container. And another analogy to support this is. So many people feel tired in 2025. I've heard that. I'm exhausted, I'm tired, I'm done. Like so much I'm done. Like, you can relate to that. You're shaking your head. You're just like, you know what, I'm not doing this anymore. and there was, you know, A little bit of frustration I know on my part because I know the things, I know the tools and I, was doing all of the things that I know what to do, and yet it wasn't working. And one of the healers and shamans that I work with said, Anne Marie, your, your container's bigger, your battery is bigger. You just expanded your battery. And so you're plugging it into that typical old school system, and it like, doesn't work. It's like going from a gas car to an electric car. It's like a whole different system to recharge. And I was like, oh, that makes complete sense. He's like, so it's not that you're doing anything wrong, you are just figuring out how to recharge that. And you're in this process of why is this taking so long when it's, I'm not used to it taking so long. And those new tools are gonna come online, hence the initiation and hence energetic leadership. Okay. I love this. The first thing I kind of wanna pick up on is. What if you haven't done that work, what if you have kind of resisted and held on in 2025 and haven't cleared the way? Is there anything that you can do now in 2026 as we're coming into this year? What does that look like? That's a great question because there is a lot of resistance because it requires change and because it requires doing things differently. And when we choose to do that, often people get left behind, or at least that's what it feels like is that in order to do this work and step into it in the process, I'm possibly gonna lose clients or possibly gonna lose friends or even family members. And we're humans, we wanna be liked and we wanna be loved. So I encourage you to look at the cycles and the patterns that are showing up on repeat. And choose to work with that energy because one of the universal laws is that change is the only constant in the universe. And so whether you want it to happen or, or not, it's going to happen. Especially if your soul has a contract in this lifetime to actually contribute and raise the collective consciousness. You're not going to be given a choice. And it's even harder when you're not playing the game, so to speak. so, get out of your own fucking way and just do it. I mean, I, I with love, I say this with love, but you're not going to have the option to ignore it anymore. 2026 will, again, it's an initiation. And so if you haven't done that work, you can expect several more spiritual assignments that are going to feel like you're on a hamster wheel of why is this happening again, I've already experienced this. I thought that I went through this. There's messages there, there's lessons to be learned there. There's opportunities for growth there. And so instead of resisting it, because that which you resist will persist, then choose to, make it fun. It doesn't always have to be, dreadful. It doesn't always have to be heavy. It doesn't always have to be hard, especially when we learn how to operate from a place of emotional intelligence and tune into heart coherence. Come from a place of a regulated nervous system, then things do get a lot easier, especially when something is coming to an end, like say a relationship. It gives you this opportunity to say what it is that you need to say, but say it with a higher level of love, and then be able to move in a direction that your heart has wanted to go to for a very long time. You've just hesitated to do it Hmm. Something that's actually come up a few times. Recently with clients and in some of the conversations I've actually been having about 2026, and this is interesting as a theme for me to kind of reflect on, is that when we are. Making changes or when change is happening and we are kind of choosing that next pathway that is in alignment. There are often these things that we have to let go of, like we've been talking about, and it's really easy to let go of those things if they are things we just don't resonate with anymore or you know, we don't like them, they're not feeling fun, they're not feeling exciting. It's so easy to let go of that stuff. The stuff that's harder to let go of is the things that we do still have a connection to, or that we've loved for a really long time, or that have been part of our business maybe for a really long time. And it feels hard to let go of those things because they actually do mean something to us. And that's harder. That's harder to continue to choose what's in alignment with your vision. When it means that you have to let go of things that you actually still really do feel some level of a connection to, but you know, in your heart of hearts that that's not the right path. And, and there is that grief that comes with that. And it's almost like you have to choose your heart. And right now that might feel really hard to do, but ultimately it's gonna lead to the place that you want to get to. Yeah, absolutely. We've, we've built something beautiful, life and business. But it's come from a past version of ourselves and we're in this beautiful space of building a legacy, of building a future, and we're building from that future place, which is challenging. I know for many of my clients, I don't know about you, when I ask them to cast a vision for the future, they're like, I don't even know what I'm having for lunch today. You know, I don't even know what I'm doing next month. Let, like, you're asking me to think about like this moment when I'm gonna die and how I wanna feel, and they're like, I don't know what's, what's for lunch? but that is what's happening is that we are creating from this future place and. It has served us for so long. That's where the challenge comes from. Like, I did love this. It did bring me joy. I experienced that this year. I created a soulful planner that has numerology woven into it, and this year I said, I'm, done. I'm not doing it anymore. And I have so many people that love it, and I love it. How am I supposed to live without a planner with numerology? It doesn't exist. So that letting go was not only okay if I say no to this, I'm not gonna have the tool and the resource that I need in my business, but none of my clients are, and all of these people. And it's, a branch of my business. What does that look like? But at the end of the day. Where am I going in the future? It is not being tied down to a project where I've lost creative control. as much as I, you know, sat in the feeling of success and accomplishment of like publishing something and getting it out there to the world and having clients like hold a book and show that on social media, like all of those beautiful moments, at the end of the day, it was clunky, it was large. The designers were a pain in my ass. there were so many of them that ghosted me, or then the product that they produced just didn't meet my standards. And it was this arduous process. It wasn't, it wasn't as fun anymore as I wanted it to be, and I couldn't go back to the original version of me creating it on Canva that can't hold 500 page documents. It just wasn't gonna happen. And so the moment that I just really accepted that, then immediately a new idea dropped in. That was like, Hey. What if you just did it this way? And I was like, what? That is way better than this previous version of it, but it that could, that new download, that new idea, couldn't have come through unless I had the courage to say, this just isn't working anymore. It's not in alignment. It was, it's served me well, but it's not serving the future version of me in the direction that I'm going. Thank you for sharing that.'cause I think it's such a great example of. Exactly what I know so many people are moving through at the moment. And it's also, a really great segue into speaking about leadership, because it's really what you're describing is being the leader that you and your business needs. And obviously that's a really big theme, as you said of 2026. So can we talk a little bit about what that looks like and that theme. As a leader in a one energy. There gets to be this rebrand and this identity upgrade that we all can choose to lean into. And so what that looks like is, you know, from a physical perspective, it could be revamping your about page or your offers, right? Or revisiting why. Why you do what it is that you do. Because people don't buy what you do or how you do it. They buy Why you do it. Your why is so important. Or looking at your values, like really just coming back to those beautiful foundations that got you this far, but admitting where there's cracks and or if that foundation needs to be expanded or if it needs to be contracted. I know for many people, myself included, like simplify is the new. Plan, moving forward? not that my business is overly complicated, but it definitely needs some simplification. And so the leadership pieces are coming back to, again, not just the foundational pieces, but the energetic architecture of our business first, because that creates this opportunity to build from our inner world rather than our outer world, where I feel that for many people, especially in the entrepreneurial world, spiritual entrepreneurial world, they're like, Hey, I've done this thing. I just wanna help. So they just step into service and they love it, and they feel valuable and they feel appreciated, and they feel like they're starting to fulfill their purpose. but there wasn't this question of like, well, what do I actually want to do? I can do this thing, but does it mean that that's what I'm actually supposed to be doing or meant to be doing? Or does it actually bring me joy? Well, it might've brought me joy in the past, but it's actually not bringing me joy anymore. And so what, does that even look like? And we've made choices in the past from safe places. I have to bring up 2020. So many of us had to stop meeting in person and shift online, and then we figured it out, and then we created success with that. But do we want that anymore? Is that the type of leader that we want to be is one that's behind a screen or in person? And so. The leadership that we're tuning into is this innovative leader, this ideator that's willing to forge a new path that's willing to have the courage and the strength to do something that hasn't been done before, which is scary and challenging because we're like, Hey, can somebody like tell me what I'm supposed to be doing? And oftentimes the answer is no, because we're doing it in a completely different way. we're building from our inner world to create our outer world, and that requires a level of energetic intelligence. And not a lot of people are energetically intelligent, if I'm being honest. It's so true. I. I really love this conversation because I think it's asking the big picture questions and it's coming back to self to really answer those questions rather than looking externally. And I do feel like we've, got a lot of resources at the moment that can give us answers externally, but are they being informed by. Our own self-leadership, and I think we're obviously in the big AI transition at the moment. I feel like you can't talk about anything without AI being part of the conversation. And when we think about how that can help our lives and our businesses, it can do in so many ways. But at the same time, it can also mean there's this risk of. giving our power away and letting those external forces be the things that help us make decisions rather than starting from that place internally. And so I think that conversation around energetic intelligence and, and going inwards to create your outer world is so important because it's like, okay, well what is important to you? Why are you doing this business? What are you called to do? And really building from that place rather than giving your power away to whether it's a computer and a robot, or you know, a business coach or someone else externally to you. We need to come from that place of in a power first. I love that you're saying this because 2026 is the year of the horse. So we're moving from the snake to the horse, and you just described the horse to a t where it's taking our power back. it's heart consciousness. the heart of a horse is 5,000 times stronger than that of a human. That's insane. Again, that's also why energetic leadership, it's an initiation into energetic leadership because this animal is the king of energy. There's so much healing that happens when you're in the presence of a horse. It just exudes emotional and heart intelligence. I've done, um, equine therapy before. I don't know if you've ever been able to experience that. It, I recommend it to anybody and everybody. If there's an equine therapist in your area, a facilitator with horses, you get a chance to be with horses. Do it because they can pick up on your own energetic field, your own heart field. They can show you how, big your energetic field is, your ORIC field is, how far you can send your energy out. How, um, if you can tuck it back in. I know that was one of my challenges. I was picking up everybody's energetic debris and I'm like, why am I so angry and frustrated all the time? And it's not even my own shit. I was just picking up on the collective and what was happening in 2021. And so I learned embodied boundaries and how to tuck my boundaries in because of horses. And they were also able to pick up on, something that's called pain tapes, where it showed me in the past something that was wanting to be healed. And I remember at the time getting quite upset. and the facilitator said, please tell me what's happening for you, what's coming through. And I said, I'm just, I'm so. Frustrated. I'm like, how many times do I have to like fricking deal with my parents or my childhood or this thing in the past? And she said, Anne-Marie, what did you come here for? What was your intention? And I, through tears said, uh, you know, to, to heal whatsoever left in my heart so that way I could be a bigger service to the world. And she said, and that's what just happened. You, you think it's a sword, honey, but it's a, it's a sliver. That's what's coming through. The horse just brought that through for you. And so they are powerful healers and they are just a fun and a beautiful, and just a wonderful experience into figuring all of this out and learning how to start working with energy. Horses create momentum. They want freedom. Yes. To more of that. And that's what we're doing in 2026. This initiation is okay, I cleared everything away, but. Whatever it is that I'm creating, these new ideas that are coming through these innovative ways to solve problems are also innovative ways to create more freedom and sovereignty in our own lives and our own business as well. Powerful stuff. when I think of the horse, I also think of a really grounded energy of like grounding into that self and then having that freedom as you say, and that momentum to take that forward. it's the perfect kind of animal spirit energy to anchor into here. And I love that you had that experience of How healing horses can be. I've not had that experience myself, but you have inspired me because how beautiful. How beautiful. What are the other, are there any other energies that are coming through in a one year? Anything else that we need to know? 2026 isn't necessarily gonna be fast. Hmm. It can feel like it's going to be fast because it is an aligned acceleration, but it's not going to be fast and it's not meant to be fast. And so if that is your experience is that things are moving too quickly, just remember to call your power back and practice presence again. Come back into your heart. One of the things that is the foundation in everything that I do is how do you wanna feel? I guide people to better understand their heart compass, and when we answer that question, we get to choose to respond and react from that powerful place. So when things feel like they're moving at lightning speed and you feel a little bit behind, I, you know, encourage you to just take some deep breaths and come back into present and come back into your heart compass and ask yourself, how do I want this moment to feel? Or this week or this month, or this quarter or this year? And make choices from that landed grounded place. And I'm saying this because there is an acceleration. You brought up ai that's a really great example. And there's so many people that have resisted it, have felt, that it's not something that they want to tune into and they feel behind because of that, because other people are integrating it. And then there's other people that have been playing in it. But then there's this whole world of like, whoa, like I still haven't even fully tapped into it. And remember that. It is here to support us to create efficiency in our life, which then can create more freedom. And that's a great thing. Use that tool for what it's meant for, but do not use it as a replacement for connection. If you try to do that in 2026, You will drown, you will be destroyed, you will be left behind you. People are looking for authentic authority now, more than ever. I've heard it several times over and over and over again, trust economy. And this happened again because of 20 20, 20 21. And then in 2022, people had bought in all these courses that had all these promises in two weeks, change your life and build a seven figure business. And then people are like, that didn't happen in two weeks. And so then they, you know, are questioning everything and actually hesitant to trust people now. So we're in this space of this trust economy and what does it look like to build trust? And, that's one of those things we don't wanna outsource our power to something like our messaging or our branding, or our voice or our content that still needs to be us. Our power, our expression, our vibration, our frequency. Again, energetic intelligence, energetic leadership, and coming from this grounded presence, that's what's going to. Really support us to have the relationships in 2026 that we desire, call in the soulmate clients, call in the communities, the partnerships, the relationships that, that we desire to help us move in this new direction. That sometimes we can't even see clearly what the end is, or we can see the end. We just don't know any of the pieces in the middle to, to just trust that we are going to, you know, connect to whatever it is that we need that's going to help us in this, forward momentum in this direction that we're going. Because that one energy on the disembodied side, it's solo, the solopreneur, it's operating out of a silo. It's very ego driven, or the spiritual ego driven. That's one of the things I've seen, in 2025, I don't wanna say like it hasn't fully died because it's. Actually getting louder than ever. but that loudness is supporting us to actually see it for what it is. And we have to remember that yes, one energy is one oneness, source, goddess. It's actually all that is. And so therefore, we have everything that we need, absolutely everything that we need, all the resources that we need at our fingertips. We are the creator. We are creator consciousness, what we think, what we feel, how we act. That's what informs our reality. And we get to play with that in the matrix in earth in 3D in, in this paradigm. And we get to tune into other paradigms as well if we're willing, again, to do that work and to really dial it up in terms of an energetic intelligence. Okay, so good. I'd love to pick up on a little bit of that kind of shadow side of, the one energy and the solopreneur and feeling like you're in a solo and almost this energy of like, I've gotta do it all myself. Maybe Mm-hmm. what can we do to shift that? Is there some kind of like really practical things you'd recommend to kind of not get stuck in any of that space? Well, you're asking this question to a woman who spends a lot of time alone. And so, and I have been asking myself this question like, okay, what needs to be different? Uh, what direction do I wanna go? Uh, I do feel that for many of us, this getting in front of people physically is the call to the collective, that the time is over of hiding behind a computer. And not to say that we're still not gonna have connections like my clients are all over the world. It needs to happen. Zoom needs to happen. Providing opportunities and containers opportunities to gather people in person is really important. And also for the spiritual entrepreneurs. Find other communities and spaces and places that you can go to where you are the one being held where you're not the one that's actually always in that leadership position are always in that facilitator position. Learn how to receive. That's one of the number one key themes I would say in 2026. And energetic intelligence and energetic leadership, it is more on that feminine side of learning how to receive. We're still in that process of, of doing that work. We're still in the process of bringing balance back to the force, because it's being the masculine that that has been in charge for a long time and we keep seeing that pendulum swing. What's happening now, I feel is a healing of that toxic masculinity and also a healing of the wounded feminine. Because yes, there's been a rise in femininity, but I've noticed that it's been a rise in toxic femininity, if I may say so, where, you know, as women, are calling their power back, there's been a, a negative story towards the masculine energy. And that needs to come to a close. That needs to come to an end. It's not serving anybody, it's not helping anyone. And this realization that we are all feminine and masculine, we carry those dualities, that's earth. The polarization is earth, the sun and the moon, hot, cold, tall, short, black, white. We cannot exist one without the other. And we carry both of those energies so that, and. Moving into physical spaces and communities, building connections and looking at it from a holistic perspective, as in instead of, what is it that I want? It's more what is it that I need? Now, when I say that, when I look at it from a numerology perspective, I look at people's energetic code and their numerology of business blueprint, and based on themselves and their team, I can see what energies are missing. So I'll say, let me guess, you're having big challenges with systems and structures, like you don't have any. And they're like, no, how would you do that? I'm like, because you have no four energy that exists here. So for myself, I call in a lot of clients with multiple one energy, the innovators, the ideators, the people who are forging a new path, who want to do things differently. But I don't necessarily have a lot of people that have eight energy, and so I want to work with masters. That's why in 2025, I spent a lot of time with shamans, with healers and people who have been at it for decades and decades. People who have been metaphysical teachers since they were in their early twenties, and they're older than me, like really tuning into the guidance of the elder community as well. I'm just gonna stop at that. I can keep going, but that was, that was a lot. I think it really speaks to an understanding of self, and I'd love to kind of move into that space in a moment, but how that then. Informs what we do need, you know? And even recognizing like, I'm a solo business owner, I work from home. I need connection outside of that, you know, what does it look like to get that? And even just as simply as. If it's going and working in a cafe, I know that I love doing that. And sometimes there's a part of me that has this, this story that comes up that's like, well, you probably don't need that. Like you don't need to go and buy a coffee, like you can make coffee at home and have your coffee at home. And it's like, Yeah. no, but this actually ticks more boxes than just me having a coffee. Like this ticks a box where I'm getting out, I'm seeing some humans, I'm having some interaction. I've got like an energy around me of people and. Sometimes you really need that. Sometimes you really need to go and have some solo time as well. And just really I feel like, again, that self-leadership of knowing yourself and knowing what you need and then being willing to make that happen and choose that and choose you And lead from that place of like, I understand myself so well that I know what I need and I'm gonna go and implement that thing. Whether that's learning from different people, whether that's putting yourself in spaces that you need to be, whether that's I need to go and host something in person, or I need to go and have in-person connection where I can receive that and be held by someone else. I love that you said self-leadership like so hard. October is always the cosmic trailer of the upcoming year, and that was the transmission that came through, and it's also illuminated in 2026 as well as. A lot of it has to do with self-leadership, but it's this self moving over to a capital S, more of like the higher self. But then moving into service and recognizing that we're moving into this era of this enhanced energetic field that we've never played in before. And what's important in order to play in this field is that what's best for me is what's best for the collective. That in order for me to be of service to others, it's about me tuning into a leadership style that recognizes that I need to be in service to self, in order to be of service to others. That if I don't choose me, we don't move from me to we. Yeah, I couldn't agree with you more. And, I love that because I grew up being told that selfishness is a bad thing. It was definitely a negative connotation. You choose yourself, you say no, you set a boundary, especially to people that are the ones pushing your boundaries all the time. Uh, then you're called selfish because you are asking for your own needs to be met. And the boundary pushers, they don't wanna do that. But it doesn't serve us and it actually stunts our ability to be of service to the world. We're done with overgiving. We're done with people pleasing. We're done with doing things out of obligation. There's no more self sabotaging, no more self sacrifice Like saying, oh, well this is selfish and, and, and I can't. And getting in our own way of taking care of ourselves first, it has to happen. And therefore self-leadership then gets to blossom into. Self-love and self-care, and self-compassion and self-control, and self-regulation and self-responsibility and self-trust. And on and on and on. I am. I'm just so excited for this. Yeah, me too. Let's talk a little bit about what this looks like personally and how our personal kind of numerology can interact with the universal collective numerology and how that will play out this year. Mm-hmm. In order for you to calculate your own personal energy, you take your month, the day you were born, and then the current year as individual numbers. So in 2025, because 2025 equals nine, that's gonna cancel out any of the other numbers. So if you were born, three is in March 31st, three plus three, plus one equals seven. Beck is in a seven energy year. Personal and she'll stay in that energy until her birthday and then she'll shift into a personal eight energy because 2026 plus her birthday will equal eight. For myself, I've been playing in a five and I'm gonna be moving into a six energy. And so what we do is, again, we're all experiencing what's happening in the collective, but then there's our personal experience of that five or that seven or that eight, and it's about understanding what that number means and the personal spiritual assignments that we're gonna be going through, and the energy that we're meant to be playing in. So for myself as a five nine, that's what I was playing in that five wants change. Five wants freedom, that five wants to fuck around and find out, do things, uh, way different than they've ever been done before. And it wants to do so in a way that's of service to the world. It's very, heart-centered energy. And so when you couple that five, all of that change with the nine, that's completion. There was a lot of tower moments for me in 2025 and there still will be a little bit in 2026 as well. And then when I'm able to shift into the six one, it's more for me about, uh, soul family, creating more peace, harmony, more luxury experiences as well, which I'm really excited for. Yeah. Uh, and so it's important for us to look at that and understand that this one energy is about new beginnings. If you're playing with a two, it's about community connections, partnerships. Higher levels of intuition. The three is very expansive energy, very creative energy, loves tuning into abundance and very expressive. The four is going to help you lay some really solid foundations. It loves structures. It loves systems. it's the number of law and order. So it loves to organize things and as I said, the five changes things up. and the six will bring more peace, more harmony. it's like a coming home type energy. The seven will create some more momentum again, will activate in a lot of ways, will create opportunities to be more connected to ourselves and, and the universe and God, whatever it is that you believe, the eight will support us to, master something to really get into. The nitty gritty details, to pay attention to the details of things, to create more balance and to start to have a vision of what, the future looks like because it's, gonna show us, both sides of everything. And then that nine will help us cast that vision for the future because it's walked the path of all the other numbers. It's very wise, very intelligent, uh, the humanitarian generosity. and so it will support us to see all of those patterns and cycles that really need to get disrupted and, and come to a close and come to an end, so that way we can step into this new manifestation cycle, moving in a direction that feels really aligned and really good Hmm. So. Everyone needs to go and do some maths. Yeah. Yeah. Some very simple maths though, right? It's just addition Yeah. Yeah. and work out what that kind of number is for you in 2026. And then based on all of the different themes you kind of spoke to, just then get a bit of an idea of what 2026 is gonna hold for you personally. Mm-hmm. Is there anything else you would recommend, like people think about when they're looking at that across the year? I know you mentioned before we hit record that almost the year starts again in your birth month. Is that right? Mm-hmm. It does. There's a big question in my community, everybody always asks this, do I step into my, my personal year, in January or on my birthday? And the answer isn't black and white. It's not cut and dry. There's this Gregorian calendar that was created for all the wrong reasons. That's a whole other podcast episode that we're not gonna get into. But January isn't actually the new year. but this is the system that we are coded to and that we are playing in. And so. On some level, we need to adopt that belief and see it as the first month of 2026. So for many people, especially if you're born at the beginning of the year, you can already tune into that one energy and you can already feel it for somebody who's born at the end of the year in October, November, December, baby, they might not be feeling it. And that answer is correct as well. It's an intuitive answer. As somebody who's born in March, like Beck, that's my new year, that's when I feel the one energy's gonna start. Now I'm done with nine energy, so I'm gonna in January, be like, it's okay. Nine, you can just go away now. Wanna tune into that one. Uh, but for many people we are, it's not, it's like, um, mercury retrograde has that, the shadow period, the before and after shadow period, it's very similar to that. It's like we get to call in some of that one energy at the end of 2025. We get to bring some of that nine energy in to 2026 if that's what we still need. And we get to decide when our personal energetic cycles begin. And it's not okay, it's my birthday, so I'm not playing with five anymore, and I'm totally stepping into a six. There's gonna be this, this shadow period, this crossover of moving from one system into another. Hmm. I love that because obviously it then gives us that agency and also that. Once again, coming back to that self trust, that kind of inner, you get to choose this and it gets to be something that is led by you. Um, which I feel like has just been one of the big themes of this conversation. Uh, and I'm so here for that because. So often, and I'm, I'm recording quite a few of these kind of forecast episodes where we talk about the energy of the year and what that means and how we can tap into that. But that doesn't mean that we get to not have agency in that and not get to decide what this looks like for ourselves. And you know, if. The astrology is telling us that it's gonna be a really tumultuous year. Like we don't, it's not that we don't get to choose something different for ourselves or how we navigate that. It's like, it's great to know all this stuff, and then we get to come back and go, okay, what does this mean for me and, and how am I choosing that and what does this look like for me to play in the energy that I know is happening? And how I then get to have that capital s self trust around what is coming through for me from my higher self and having that real agency around that. Absolutely. I, I've never really bought into the hype of the doom and gloom, like Mercury is going retrograde. Like so many people are like, everything's gonna go wonky because Mercury retrograde. And like, part of that is true. Some of that is true, like we might have tech issues, but for myself, I'm like, Archangel Michael, can you help me out here? I've got a session online. Like there's, there's other things that we can do. If our energy says this is going to happen, if we believe it and we feel it, then it is going to happen. But we get to choose that existence. We get to choose what we play in. And it doesn't mean that we're not coming from this place of controlling. It's, it's like you said, it's self-agency. It's, I get to decide the, the, the world isn't happening to us. It's happening for us. And that's why it's really important to have these pieces like a heart compass. To understand how is it we wanna feel? So we have that, we have that compass, we have that GPS of like, whoa, whoa, I'm, I'm kind of in charge here of my life and my reality. Like I get to be the creator and I choose this and take inspired action from that. Very grounded, very present, very embodied place. And we also get to look at the entirety of a year and say, first and foremost, this is when I'm gonna take my vacation. This is when I'm off. This is when I'm gonna have quality time with my family. This is what I'm gonna do. My paint classes, this is when I'm gonna go on a writing retreat. This is when I'm not gonna work with clients. This is what you, right, we get to look at the entirety of everything and plan for our nervous system first. Yes. get to do that. We get to decide, am I going to be busy doing things that don't really matter? There's so many people. I, I look back at a, a, a past version of myself, and it's embarrassing. I remember the moment where I said, when somebody says, what have you been up to? How are you that my, my answer was busy. Like it was a badge of honor. And I remember that moment where I'm like, you, I'm challenging you, Anne-Marie, to never say busy again. And if that was the truth, then what's keeping me busy? Does this really matter? Are these things that are bringing me joy, that are bringing me freedom, that are bringing me Abu? No. So why am I doing that? And then making choices differently. So we get to do that. We get to look at the entirety of a year and say, okay, how can I make my nervous system happy? What does that look like? What's important to me? If in order to feel this way, what choices am I gonna make? What goals am I gonna set? How am I going to give other people these feelings? Yeah. Because unfortunately we don't get to show up and say, I've chosen appreciation and so you all mean to appreciate me. Now, unfortunately it doesn't work that way, but, but we do know that, you know, if that's one of our words, that if we appreciate people more, that it does come back to us tenfold in some way, shape, or form, but we have to have that container of receiving. We need to be open to receive. Are you energetically open to receive, especially in 2026 and playing with that? Hmm. I have just loved this conversation so much and it, it makes me really excited for 2026 and what's coming and just. The themes of everything you've shared around leadership and even that self-responsibility and like it that taking your power back, it puts the power in our hands. It doesn't mean that it's necessarily easy to do all of these things, but it does mean that we get to choose them. And something that I think is so true as business owners is. There are so many ways that we can set things up and we have so many choices because we are literally the boss, you know, we are the people who are designing this, and what you're kind of describing there is making those choices that? actually really align and that are really. True for us, and that are the boundaries that we need. You know, so there's almost this, that, that double-edged sort of like, We get to choose this, but we also, we also have to make a decision in that, you know, like there has to be a choice that we make, otherwise the choice gets made for us and we end up busy and not doing the things that we want to do, and all of that. So we we are in that control and we have that power, but there's also a responsibility in, in that too. And I feel like that's what. Being a leader is, and we get to make that choice, but we also have to make that choice. We do, Yeah. do. This is an opportunity to choose heart over hustle, to choose alignment before action and really step into who it is that we came here to be, to really step into. I don't like saying new era, I feel that's overused, but this next level of leadership, there's a lot of growth that's happening and there's a lot of opportunities that we get to experience because of that. So yeah, I'm really excited as well. The final question that I'd love to kind of wrap up on is. Obviously being a one year, we're, we're starting a new cycle collectively. So without putting heaps of pressure on, like this is the start of a new cycle and you have to get it right. Is there anything that we can kind of think about or do in the next 12 months that are gonna perhaps set us up for what this next cycle looks like? Mm. Or is it that we shouldn't put too much pressure on it? Well, in one way, no, in another way, yes. I'm like, when we look at the things that are happening in the world globally, I'm like, can you please wake up? Please? Can you please choose to feel how you want to feel? It is that simple. I, let me say it this way. We call, oh shoot, am I gonna forget her name? We call her grandma Dolores Cannon. We call her grandma in our house. We're like, that's her, her long longs grandma. she, she said something that has always stuck with me. She said, we all have the same purpose. In Earth school, and that's to manipulate energy. I didn't love the word manipulate personally in that statement, but I understood what she meant and I understood what she was saying. We all have the same purpose to transmute energy in Earth school. We have self sovereignty, we have self-agency, we have self-leadership. All of those things, right? We have self-responsibility. That's all we need to focus on and work on. So let go of the fact that this, that your grandma's gonna tell you that this is selfish, or your mom or your sister, or whoever but that's what you're meant to do. Just focus on regulating your own nervous system. Ground yourself, get present. Be authentic. your emotions. Don't judge sadness, grief, depression, frustration, anger, guilt, shame, love up on it. That's the shadow. Work. Lean into it hard. Ask yourself questions. Is this mine or is this something that I've adopted from somebody else? And if that's the case, have beautiful conversations with people in your family. See the cycles, see the patterns. Sometimes that's what it takes in order for us to go, okay, enough because we can see like, but my mom felt this way and my grandma and great grandma, and now I see it in my papa as well. And I can see it in my aunts. Oh my gosh, this is a pattern in my family. So if I choose differently for myself, not only am I healing this for myself, but I'm healing this for my entire family, for and generations to come as well. Like if you need to anchor into a bigger why, in order to kick yourself in the ass and actually do this. Then see it from, from that lens again. It's, it's emotional intelligence. It's heart coherence. It's balancing out of those energies. It's learning how to play and transmute those energies and doing so from a nonjudgmental unattached perspective. Surrender into that. Like really lean into that anger. it's all a message. This is everything that I talk about. This is how we communicate with the universe, because everything is energy. So when you learn all of these things, that's what you're doing is you're learning how to communicate with the universe. When something like anger shows up, it's a message. That's what it is. It's just a message showing you that you're out of alignment. And anger is a beautiful emotion because it evokes action. It moves into passion, right? And then people. Decide, I'm gonna do something about this 'cause it's making me angry. So then we move into compassion, and then when it's elevated even further, it steps up into compassion. And how beautiful is compassion? It's one of the highest vibrational states that we can be in. There's higher ones, but it's very high. And so just see all of this as communication. Communication with yourself, with your higher self, with the universe, with source, with whatever it is that you believe, and see it as an opportunity to learn how to tune into creator consciousness, to develop your own reality. Choose your thoughts, choose your feelings, choose your actions to be in alignment with all of those things, and then you get to choose your reality. Mm-hmm. I'm excited for what this looks like before we wrap up. Let us know. How can we find and connect with you? Where do you hang out? What are you doing? Who knows. I'm changing everything in 2026. I'm gonna five one, uh, anne marie mackenzie.com. Uh, I've purchased all the ways to misspell my name, so hopefully it'll still help you land on my website. I do play a little bit on social media, but that shifting in 2026, my best guess is YouTube is gonna be the place to hang out with me and Instagram for those shorts as well. and send me a DM on Instagram or Facebook and we can connect. Yeah. Great. We'll have all of your links below too so people can come over and connect with you. I've absolutely loved this conversation, so Thank you. for coming on and sharing. Just such incredible wisdom and having just the best conversation. I've, I've really loved this and I know that it's gonna serve so many people heading into this new year. Thank you, Beck. I really appreciate the opportunity to again, have this conversation with you and to connect with your audience. Sending you lots of love in a year filled with so much joy, love, and abundance. Yes,
