S2E38 The Great Exhale: Closing the 9-year Cycle

S2E38 The Great Exhale: Closing the 9-Year Cycle 

 

Summary

In this episode of the Waking Moment podcast, I reflect on the significance of December as a time for introspection and personal growth. It’s time to honor the great exhale from the past 9 years. I discuss the importance of honoring our emotions, the completion of cycles, and the journey towards authenticity. I emphasize the need to speak your truth, forgive yourself, and cut the energetic cords that no longer serve you. Finally, I share my personal journey with the word 'satisfied' and encourage you to prepare for the new beginnings that 2026 will bring.

 

Takeaways

1. 2025 is a completion year, marking the end of a cycle.
2. Completion involves finishing the habit of self-betrayal.
3. Forgiveness is essential for personal freedom.
4. Energetic cords can drain our energy and need to be cut.
5. Satisfaction should not be confused with settling.
6. Reflecting on personal growth helps in understanding oneself better.

Journaling Prompts:

On the 9-Year Cycle (2017–2025)

• If you could sit at a table across from the version of yourself from 2017, what would you tell them? 
• Look at the 'scars' or hard moments from the last nine years. How have they alchemized into wisdom? Who have you become because of what you went through?
• What is the biggest lesson this 9-year cycle was trying to teach you? Do you feel you have learned it, or are you still resisting it?

On Releasing "Smallness" & Voice

• Around which people, do you instinctively lower your voice or dim your light? Why does their comfort matter more than your expression?"
• If you were guaranteed that you wouldn't be rejected, what truth would you speak right now? What passion would you finally pursue?
• Where are you leaking energy by pretending to be someone you aren't?

On Completion & Letting Go

• What are you holding onto simply because you are afraid of the empty space that will be left behind if you let it go?
• If you walk into 2026 carrying your current emotional baggage, how heavy will your step be? What specific bag can you set down right now?

On Cord Cutting & Forgiveness

• Who (or what version of yourself) do you need to forgive—not because they deserve it, but because you deserve to be free?
• When you think of a specific person or situation that drains you, where do you feel it in your body? That is where the cord is. Are you ready to cut it?
• How would your daily life change if you stopped waiting for an apology that is never coming?
