Are you feeling a little bit lost about the year ahead? Your spirit guides are holding the roadmap for your 2026, and I’m going to show you exactly how to ask them for it.

We often think spiritual guidance has to be a loud, dramatic sign or a booming voice from the heavens. But true guidance is usually much quieter—it’s an intuitive nudge, a sense of inner knowing, or a feeling of peace. In this episode, we are going to bypass the doubt and the noise of the analytical mind using one of my favorite spiritual tools: Free-Writing.

Grab a pen and paper, because we are doing this ritual together in real-time. I will guide you to lower the veil, connect with your support team of light, and script your vision for the new year.

In this video, you’ll learn:

  • The 3-Step Scripting Ritual: A guided process to clear the energy of 2025 and download your divine instructions for 2026.
  • Active Co-Creation: Why you need to stop passively waiting for the new year to happen to you and start inviting your guides to help you write the story.
  • The “Ego vs. Spirit” Test: How to know for sure if the voice you hear is your intuition (expansive, calm, loving) or your ego (urgent, anxious, controlling).
  • How to Be an “Intuitive Detective”: What to do after the ritual to spot the signs that confirm your guidance is landing.

You don’t have to figure out the next 365 days alone. You have a loving team of guides cheering you on, waiting for you to ask for help.

All right, let's dive into the episode. Are you feeling a little bit lost about the new year ahead? What if all that uncertainty that you feel about going into 2026 isn't actually a problem, but an [00:04:00] invitation?

It's an invitation to receive clear guidance on a level that you've never experienced before, and your spirit guides are holding the roadmap. And I'm gonna show you how to ask them for it. And if you're ready to get that clarity, you're in the perfect place because in this episode, I'm going to share a three-step scripting ritual that you can do to reconnect directly with your spirit guides and start to receive clear guidance for your path in the new year.

That's right. You're gonna download the guidance for your path in 2026. We're gonna do this as a ritual together in real time. So I want you to grab a pen and paper and come back and get into a comfortable position because we're gonna literally do this practice together right now. And first, I wanna just open with talking about what it means to connect with your guides, because so many of us get so stuck here.

We might expect this like loud, booming voice or a big dramatic sign to show us, yep, you're being guided. But actually the true guidance is often much more quiet. It's more [00:05:00] likely a feeling or a intuitive nudge, or this sense of inner knowing. Your guides, your spirit guides are not separate from you.

They're a part of your inner guidance system. They're your loving support team, and they're cheering you on and they're waiting for you to ask for help, and they're whispering to you all the time. Here's some guidance. Listen, listen, listen. But here's the secret. Especially for this ritual, one of the easiest ways to bypass any doubt and really truly hear your guides is actually through free writing.

It's a really powerful form of channeling, and we're about to do it together. So when you put your pen to paper and you just let the words flow without judgment, you're letting yourself get out of that analytical mindset and that critical mindset. You're opening up to creative, nonjudgmental energy and energy of creativity and energy, of clarity and energy, of wisdom and energy that's connected, and that's where your guides can communicate [00:06:00] through your words and flow messages onto the page.

It might not be a shocking revelation. It might just be a word that you wouldn't normally use, or a simple phrase that just feels really true and really good inside of you. And that's the guides. That's your guides. I often hear my guides speak to me and they'll say, dear daughter of the light, literally that's the message that will come through my hand.

Why would I speak like that to myself? That's my guide speaking to me. So as we do this, I want you to start to trust whatever comes through for you, no matter how simple your only job is to be the hand that write. And the end of the year is the most powerful time to do this ritual because we're actually naturally more reflective and we're shedding all that old stuff from the last year, and we're dreaming of who we wanna be in the new year, and we're setting intentions and setting ourselves up for what we wanna create.

So I wanna tap into that New Year energy as we do this ritual together. This ritual is all about active co-creation, so you're not just passively waiting to see what [00:07:00] 2026 is gonna bring you. You're actively inviting your guides to help you write the story, to script what you wanna see in the new year, and it gets better.

If you want my ultimate guide to co-creating your dream life, I want you to check out that link in the show notes for my 21 day manifesting challenge. I do this every new year. It is the best event ever. It's 21 days Manifesting with me. Go to dear gabby.com/manifesting challenge for all the details.

Let's dive into the ritual when she's starting by grabbing your journal or a piece of paper and a pen. Get yourself comfortable and gently close your eyes, taking a really deep breath in, and let it all go. Notice any energy inside of you that feels nervous or anxious, and just take a deep breath into that space inside.

Giving yourself permission to feel everything that is coming up in this moment.
And on the exhale, just let it go.[00:08:00] Take a grounding deep breath, filling your belly. As you exhale, just feel your body relax.Place your hand on your heart and welcome your guides in through this prayer. Thank you guides. I am open and I'm ready to receive your wisdom, your loving guidance, and all that is of my highest good in the new year. Feel that connection. Feel it here. You are already creating that space right here, right now.

Take another deep breath in and know that your guides are now in this space with us now. And gently open your eyes, pick up your pen, and you can respond to these three powerful [00:09:00] prompts. If you need to pause the podcast in between these prompts, please do so. Asking yourself now as you journal and write, what is the most important lesson the last year taught me What is the most important lesson this last year taught me?

Just let yourself free write, let your pen flow that whatever comes through, come through naturally. No judgment. Just let that first idea come onto the page, maybe a lesson about patience or resilience or need for more joy. Just take a moment and, and let yourself write if you need to, you can pause the podcast and come back.

Now for our second prompt, write with your guides. [00:10:00] What is the single most important thing I need to do to thrive in the new year? Now, don't overthink this, just write, what's the first word that comes to mind? Is it rest? Is it play? Courage, connection, just trusting in your heart the first intuitive hit that comes to you.

This is your guidance. If you need to pause the podcast to write, you can come back at any time.
And now the most powerful prompt. This is where we truly surrender and co-create. You can write down on the piece of paper, thank you guides of the highest truth and compassion
for showing me the vision you hold for my highest good in the new year.

What do I need to see?[00:11:00]  And just let the words flow naturally. Just let the feelings or images that you want to come forward, come forward and just let the words flow and the feelings flow, and just allow images to come forward. And don't judge whatever you're writing. Don't analyze it. Just be the receiver. What loving vision do your guides have for you?

What do they want you to know? And you can just allow yourself to write freely because this is not your plan. It's about opening up to the divine. Plan your time with this. Again. You can pause the podcast if you need to come back.

Now for step three, we can troubleshoot and listen. So you've done this work now and you've sent out that call, and this is where some of the questions [00:12:00] can come up, right? First you're gonna be like, well, what if I heard nothing or if your page is blank, and I just don't want you to panic, okay? You just planted a seed.

Your guidance doesn't always arrive on your schedule. Your only job right now is actually to be the intuitive detective, so I want you to be open to how these answers are gonna show up for you for the next several days. It might be a lyric in a song, or maybe it's an idea that pops into your head in the shower, which is a big one that happens for me a lot.

Or maybe the same message said to you by three different friends all the same day. That's guidance. That's all your guidance. And the biggest question I get always about this work is how do I know if it's my guides or just me making it up? This is the most common block, so let's get really clear about that right now.

Here's the test. Guidance from your spirit guides your higher self and your intuition always feels really expansive. It feels really loving and calm and clear. It might be a simple, gentle nudge or just a feeling of deep resonance, a feeling of inner knowing, feeling [00:13:00] of peace inside, whereas the voice of your ego, the fear voice, often feels really urgent or anxious, confusing, controlling.

Complex like a very shitty kind of voice. It's loud and often has a butt attached to it, and your intuition is your connection to your guides. And so that quiet knowing voice beneath the noise, that's your spirit guides. I want you to learn how to trust that. And the more you trust those little hits of inspiration, the stronger that connection can become and the easier it is to connect and to know that you are all the time.

You know, I talk a lot about. Feeling healthy? Well, going through the menopause journey, going through the postpartum journey and all that goes along with that. And for me, one of the biggest imbalances that happened in my life was noticing hair shedding postpartum and in menopause. And it freaks me out and it freaks people out and it [00:14:00] makes you nuts and it makes you wanna, you know, literally just, just crawl out of your skin because you're like, what is happening?

I don't have any control over this. But once I started taking the women's balance formula with neutrophil, I saw improved hair growth and decreased shedding in just three months, and it made me feel so much more confident and felt so much ease. And I gotta tell you something, if you wanna give a gift to a woman this season, give them a gift of Neutrophil.

Neutrophil is the number one dermatologist recommended hair growth supplement brand, and they're trusted by over one and a half million people.

A friend who just had a baby and has experienced postpartum hair shedding. Your husband, your father, who relies on his baseball hat to cover up [00:15:00] yourself or anyone looking to support their overall hair health.

So give the gift of confidence this holiday season with neutrophil. So whether you're treating yourself or someone on the list, visibly healthier, thicker hair is the gift that keeps on giving.

My kid comes home from his squash practice. It's like go time. And so I need to systematize my life in any way, shape, or form.

And one of the coolest ways I've systematized my life. Through my meal planning and my meal prep, and I've been able to do that with Sovi. Sovi is a really cool, smart countertop oven that's also got this flexible meal delivery service that completely takes the stress out of your dinner, and it's truly saved me hours in the [00:16:00] kitchen.

Guys. It is so helpful and the coolest part is, it's this game changer for me is this built-in refrigerator so you can. Load your Sovi meal, choose what time you want to eat it, and just the appliance literally keeps it chilled and safe and then it cooks it automatically when you wanted it to cook. And dinner's hot and balanced and ready for you when you get home or when your kids arrive.

It is absolutely amazing and it's chef designed meals that arrive right at my doorstep ready to go, and on nights when I'm just cooking for my whole family. I love to use the SU V 3.0 because this is just a way to get the oven going and not have to do too much prep at all.

Now that you've written with [00:17:00] your guides and you know how to tell the difference between fear and true guidance, I wanna give you a simple roadmap. These are 10 steps that you can keep coming back to whenever you want to deepen your connection. So the first step is to get into the habit of asking. We can often forget that we have the guidance that is within us and around us, and we can remember it when we're reading a book like The Universe Has Your Back or Spirit Junkie.

Or when we're in a yoga class or we're doing a meditation, we can remember that there's a guidance beyond us, but it's often that we forget and we start to rely on our own strength, and that's when fear starts to set in when we're relying on our own strength. So we're gonna wanna do our part to really get into the habit of asking our guides for help.

And the more you ask, the more you receive, period. Because the more you ask, the more you believe, and the more you believe, the more you receive. So this is really about getting into the habit of asking. So think about all the things that you need help with. Maybe you need help conceiving, or maybe you need help with making more money, or maybe you need help with a relationship that's struggling, [00:18:00] or maybe you need help losing weight.

Maybe you need help with a physical condition. And I wanna make a list of some of the top 10 things that are up for you. Maybe top five things that are up for you and go one by one in your mind. And you can do this now, or you can, you can pause the recording and do this now, or you can come back to this if you want to.

Where you just listen to your inner guidance system, your inner wisdom, and let the thoughts of the things that you think you need help with come up for you. So you can go list these, these issues one by one. I need help making more money. I need help with my body. I need help with my physical condition. I need help with my spouse.

I need help with whatever it is. Just offering it up and then literally give it away. Offer it up. Thank you guides for revealing the solutions to this problem. So only asking for the guides of the highest truth and compassion, you would say, thank you, guides of the highest truth and compassion for revealing the solutions to these problems.

And then go through them. So you'd say, thank you, guides of the highest truth and compassion for offering solutions [00:19:00] to my issue with my weight. Thank you guides of the highest truth and compassion for revealing the solutions to the problems I'm having in my marriage. Or thank you guides for revealing the solutions to this problem I'm having with my child.

And just go one by one asking the guides to help you. Maybe if you wanna get really laser focused, you just choose one right now where you just continue to offer it up daily for a little while. Thank you guides for revealing the solutions to this problem and remembering always to call on the guides of the highest truth and compassion.

'cause we don't wanna invite the funky guides to the party. So the, the, the way to look at it is, it's like you're having a party and you're not gonna open the door for everybody. So you wanna open the door for only the, the highest truth and compassion. So being very specific and clear about what kind of guidance you're calling in.

So you don't get any riffraff coming through. Don't worry, whatever you say you get. So you call the shots. Do not fear whatever presence is out there, but just make sure to call in. Guidance of the [00:20:00] highest truth and compassion before I get on stage. Every time I give a talk, the first thing I say backstage to myself, they're in the bathroom or backstage, right before I walk on is thank you guides of the highest truth and compassion for speaking through me.

And whenever I do that, I know that the words that I need will come through me. I did that even before I started this podcast. I'm letting the presence of this guidance speak through me now. Just having this conversation with you, them just letting the voice of this inner wisdom come through me, express through me, teach through me, guide me.

Support me in supporting you, just because the simple act of asking the guidance shows up. It's just, it's right there, it's present. It's in your space. The second step is to listen. You'll slow your mind through meditation so that you can listen to the wisdom of the guidance that's within you and around you.

We have to slow down our vibrational stance to become aligned with the presence of these guides because they vibrate a different frequency than we do when we're in our physical body. So we need to change [00:21:00] our vibration. To match theirs in order to truly hear. That doesn't mean that a guide can't come in and intervene in our own crazy frequency here in, in this world that we live in, but when we attune our energy to the frequency of love and peace and, and a calmer state in that new vibrational stance, we can more easily connect to their vibrational messaging.

It's almost like you have to tune a guitar to get that perfect note. You have to tune your energy to get that perfect guidance. So that would be the reason why we would wanna slow down and listen. And that's the second step is to listen. This month, there's a gorgeous meditation that I've created for you to help you connect to your guides.

So step two is taking care of for you because it will give you that opportunity to slow down, listen and receive. The third step is to write with them. So you'll bring out your journal and your meditation this month, and at the top of the page, you're [00:22:00] gonna write Thank you guides for revealing to me the solutions to these issues, or thank you for revealing to me whatever you want me to know.

Dear, guides of the highest truth and compassion, I welcome you to write through me now is another way that you could bring them into your writing. Dear guides of the highest truth and compassion, I welcome you to write through me now and we're gonna practice that this month with your meditation. So you'll be listening through your meditation, and then you'll bring your journal into the practice and you'll start to write and let the presence of these guides just move through you.

The fourth step is a step that I know you guys love. Any universe has your back readers out there. You love this step. I know you love it. It's asking for a sign so your guides can play fun games with you. They can show you that their presence is there, and the fun way to do this is to ask them for a sign.

You know that my sign is an owl. Sometimes I ask for lilies. Sometimes I ask for numbers. In sequence. For the past month as I've been healing some physical things, I kept getting numbers in sequence. Numbers in sequence. 2, 2, [00:23:00] 2, 5, 5, 5, 4, 4, 4, 3, 3, 3 all over the place. And it was just the guide saying, we've got you.

We're with, you. We're watching over, you we're guiding you. Don't worry, sister, we've got your back. So. You know how to ask for a sign if you've read, the universe has your back. If you haven't, just remember that this is a practice where you simply just ask your guides to reveal to you a sign, whatever you choose it to be.

So whatever's the first thought that comes to your mind. If your sign is whatever you think, if you say, my sign's an elephant, my sign's a rainbow, my sign's a dog, my sign's a butterfly. Whatever comes to your mind and start to open up to receive that spiritual guidance through your sign. And these guides will begin to show you your sign in really fun and innovative ways to let those signs come through.

And then the fifth step is to pay attention to the guidance that you receive because it's one thing to ask for guidance. It's another thing to witness it, to really take it in, to really relish in the presence that's supporting you, to really let yourself just [00:24:00] be in the awe and the wonder of all the love that is around you to smile and know that you have support.

It's a big deal, guys. It's a beautiful feeling and it's an opportunity that's available when you really just let yourself be the witness. Have this amazing, amazing support that is always with you. And so when you ask and you listen. And you get still and you write, and then you ask for your sign again, you just gotta let yourself be the witness and pay attention.

Pay really close attention to the guidance you're receiving. Not in a crazy way, not like, wait, you know, where's my guidance? Where's my guidance? But really just being just open all day just to the wonder of that guidance. When you see those numbers in sequence, just be like, yes, thank you. Guides, or when you see.

That sign that you ask for, just say, thank you guides. Thank you. And the constant gratitude and appreciation keeps the relationship so strong and alive. There's just a great presence of love that just [00:25:00] continues to move through you when you say yes, and stay present to what's coming through. So look closely at the presence that's supporting you at all times.

Pay attention to it. Pay attention to it, because it will show up in cool ways too. The presence of your guidance system will show up as a song down the radio, or maybe a spark of light, like I said, or the numbers in sequence, or somebody saying to you exactly what you needed to hear. Know that your guides are working through them.

Guides work through people, guides, work through doctors. There's many, many instances where I've been led to. A doctor, that's exactly the doctor I needed to get things sorted and I can feel the presence of the guides in the room working through the doctor, and I can feel this knowing that they've led me to this practitioner.

So it's not that the guides are gonna make your problems disappear necessarily, it's that they're gonna guide you to the solutions. They're gonna guide you to the doctors and the teachers and the yogis and the healers. And they may have even guided you here. To me, there's no. Order of difficulty in these miracles.

[00:26:00] There's no coincidence in this experience. You were guided here people, and I'm sure you know many of you, if you reflect back on how you found your way to my books or to this work, it was an interesting road that got you here. I can imagine. So trust that you've been guided here. Trust. The sixth step in connecting to your guides is to stay in an energy of gratitude and appreciation.

So you wanna thank your guides rather than being in a place of neediness. You wanna be in a place of gratitude. So rather than being like, I need, I need our guides. Why haven't you given me this yet? Or guides, I don't believe in you, I haven't, you shown up for me faster. You wanna be thanking them and appreciating them, being in this place of deep, deep love and gratitude because when you open your heart to offer your guides gratitude and appreciation, the feeling of gratitude and appreciation is just flooding back towards you. It will just catapult right back to you from your heart to their heart, their heart to your heart. It just is a boomerang of light [00:27:00] and a boomerang of appreciation.

So it's just a tremendous feeling that it can only be. Known. In your own experience of it, it's hard to describe even the feeling of what it feels like to just be in this vortex of appreciation and that vortex of appreciation is available to all of you just by being in. Steep gratitude for the guides and the systems of guidance that's around you.

And the seventh step is to release the outcome and trust in a plan better than your own. Because your guides have a plan better than you do. Your guides are wanting to bring you to the right relationships and the right careers. And we get in the way of that guidance, we avoid that guidance because we start to plan for ourselves.

We start to control the plans, or change the plans, or manipulate the plans. Or obsess about the plans. But the truth is, is that then we let go of our plans. Trust in a plan that's much greater than ours. That's when we start to truly feel like we're being [00:28:00] led. That's when we feel presence beyond our own is taking us to the next right action.

And it's not that we sit around and do nothing, it's that we allow ourselves to listen and we take action from that place of spiritual alignment. And we take an action from a place of just listening and allowing and being guided. And then the places that we're led to. Far greater than we could have ever imagined.

Far more impactful than anything we could have contemplated, and far more important than what we could have thought for ourselves. So really knowing that that release of the outcome is mandatory to truly be in co-creation with this guidance system to truly allow yourself to be led. The eighth step is to be more childlike so your children can see, still, see their guides.

Many, in many cases, they may even speak about it. So my hope is that all the spirit junkie, moms and dads out there are encouraging this because we want that veil to stay [00:29:00] open as long as possible. Usually around the age of seven, the veil starts to close and we shut down to this guidance system and we start to believe in the world and the terrors of the world.

It's, it's a tough time to be alive right now. So these kids, they need these guides to feel safe. They need this guide. We all need it. But when your children have that, that veil that is so lifted, just encourage it. If you feel called, if this is something you believe in, not if you don't believe in it, but if you believe in it, encourage it.

Help them see that relationship as something that's valuable and something that they can stay connected to for a lifetime. So if your kids say, I see an angel, or I see a fairy, or I see a guide, I see a person, I see something, encourage it. Don't make them feel crazy for it. Don't push it away. Ask them what they hear because maybe that guide has a message for you that's gonna come through your child.
So don't ignore it. Let your children be your teachers. Let your children be the conduit for your guides to come through. Because they can still hear that guidance system [00:30:00] and be more childlike. 'cause as you become more childlike, you start to open, lift that veil more. So do things that bring you joy. Jump on a trampoline, go for a run, swim in a pool, cook.

Whenever I'm cooking, I feel the presence of my guides around me. Do the things that bring you joy, and that guidance will just show up fast. You'll feel it. The second I step onto the stage to give a talk. I feel like there's backup dancers just right behind me. Been like, go girl. And it's just a fun collaboration.
So whenever you're in the things that are your most creative acts, let the guidance come through you. Let them be your backup dancers. Let them be your backup dancers and be childlike and have more fun. The ninth step is to ask them for their name. If you feel called, you don't have to, but ask them to reveal their names to you.

The first name that comes to mind will be the name of your guide. One of my guides is a guide called Lily. And she came to me many years ago, and I just knew her name was Lily, like I could just, just knew it. And then [00:31:00] several years of knowing Lily, I had a medium give me a reading. At the end of the reading she says, Lily wants me to tell you thank you, because she loves working with you.

And that medium, not knowing anything about Lily, me, never saying anything to her about Lily just put the nail in the coffin for me. She just really just reiterated what I already knew, but it really helped me. Know that what I was hearing was true, so I wouldn't tell you without having, you have to wait for a medium to tell you that whatever voice comes through, whatever name comes through, is the name of your guide.

May sound like a strange name, but that's their name. And trust what you hear. The first name you hear is the name that it is, and then the 10th step is to trust in your own psychic ability. Really, truly trust in your own psychic ability. Believe in yourself, believe in your capacity to. Call on this presence.

Believe in your capacity to connect to these guides and to feel that support. Believe that you are not [00:32:00] the one person that doesn't have guides. Believe that you have an ever present energy of love that is always within you and around you, supporting you and guiding you. And the more that you trust in your own psychic ability, the more you'll be able to hear, the more you'll be able to be led by this presence.

It's a great gift that you can receive when you allow the presence of these guides to come into your life. 'cause not only will they support you, but they will support you in supporting others. They'll help support you in being a light in the world. We need this presence of light that is beyond our physical site to support us right now.

We need this presence to support us through the chaos of these times, through the dramas, through the terror, through the violence. We need these presence of love and peace to help us realign our wrong mind with our right mind. To bring us back to good orderly direction, bring us back to God. So we wanna start to learn to rely on the presence of this guidance system [00:33:00] as a presence that we will know is ours to connect to for a lifetime, to practice these steps and allow yourself to truly surrender to the presence of your very own Spirit guides.

And women are like, I'm tired and I'm not feeling well, and I'm outraged all the time and I'm sweating and I've got brain fog and my body aches and I just don't know why.

Take a deep breath and just notice how it feels to remember you're not doing this alone. You have real support with you. And so now you have your vision scripted for the new year. You have the tools to connect to your guides for clarity. And so what's next? How do we take this beautiful vision from this piece of paper?

And make it our lived reality for the next 365 days. That guidance that you just received is your what, but now we need the how. How do we get there? How do we create with this? That new energy is really high. We all know that it can really fade away by February. And if we don't have a regular spiritual practice of manifesting our desires, it's just like a one-time ritual.

It's not a daily practice of alignment. This is about embodying the energy of that vision and being a co-creator with it, even if you don't see the results yet. And this is the most [00:39:00] important work that we can do, and that's why I'm really excited to invite you to take this even further with me to go deeper with me because on January 1st, we're kicking off my 21 day manifesting challenge.

And this is the most awesome thing I do all year. This is your 21 day container. And it's your place for daily guided support to help you manifest, to help you create your desires. This new year, every single day, I'm gonna be there with you, guiding you through practices to clear out old limiting beliefs, and start to raise your vibration and just take that inspired action.

And you're gonna have meditations every single day. And this is how you turn those visions that you've created here into your reality. So if you felt that yes, inside during this ritual, if you're ready to make this new year the most magnetic, most joyful, most guided year yet, then this challenge is your next step.

You can go to dear gabby.com/manifesting challenge, and all the details are there. You can also find the link in the show notes. I don't want [00:40:00] you to let this New Year Energy go to waste. I want you to recognize we're gonna do this together. This is like a community event, so make sure to get in there, click that link in the show notes.

Before we head out today, I wanna just pull a card from my super attractor deck. I always have the deck on my desk as I record and I feel the call to pull a card from the deck. Let's see what we got. This is beautiful messages from my book. Super Attr Attractor. Here we go. Let's see. Let's see. They're all messed up.

I gotta get my deck in order here. What is our card for the new year? Well, this is excellent. When I'm grateful for what I have, I can feel good along the way to what I desire. When I'm grateful for what I have, I can feel good along the way to what I desire. I love this card for us right now because as we prepare energetically for 2026, I want you to start to tap into what you have already.

[00:41:00] What are you grateful for? What is the energy of abundance in your life right here, right now? The energy that you focus on is what you create more of. So if you give yourself some pause today, tomorrow, every day until the new year of just reflecting on what's working, what's thriving, it could be as simple as, I had a great cup of coffee.

I've started drinking a new creamer in my coffee, and I celebrate this every single day. It's the greatest thing for me. It sounds silly, but it's just a joy. It's a true joy. Or that you have a little bit of extra time in the morning, or you now have this opportunity to see a friend over the holidays, just focus on that thing that's really thriving in your life right here, right now, because the energy you put your attention towards is magnified, and I want you to be in this powerful, energetic state as we step into the new year.

So that work, my friend right now is to just lean in to what is thriving. Lean into what you're grateful for, lean into what you appreciate. Focus your attention [00:42:00] all day, all throughout the day. This is working, this is thriving. Lean into what's working and know that in that vibrational stance, you're creating more of what you want.

And now I'm just gonna just tune into what I feel intuitively is coming as the year closes and we step into this new year. I have been in my meditation hearing a lot about how this is a time for inner contemplation, and this is a time for stillness, and this is a time for slowing down, listening to our inner voice and almost going into a bit of a cocoon so that we can come out and become new in the new year.

This stillness and slowing down can feel like the opposite of what we're called to do in this moment with holidays and family and all the places we're expected to go. I really want you to take that idea of going into a bit of a cocoon, spending some time to journal with your guides, spending time to listen, being open and [00:43:00] receptive to the synchronicities and the wisdom beyond your physical sight.

Giving yourself this experience of just allowing and listening, and allowing and listening. The new year comes and it's off to the races, so take this downtime to really power down. To listen. I'm actually totally channeling this now. So power down and align your energy. Prepare your energy for the new year ahead is what they're saying.

Clear everything off your to-do list before the new year so that you can go in fresh and new and decide what you wanna let go of from this last year and decide what you wanna bring in with clarity and ease. But when you decide what you wanna let go of, I'm seeing them say like, strike an X through it.

You wanna literally just X through what you're letting go of, and even put it in a piece of paper. I'm releasing this now. Burn it. Get rid of it. Strike through it. It's done. It's an old contract. It's not [00:44:00] going into this new year with you, and you can strike through it today. So write down on a piece of paper, I am releasing X, y, z.

I'm releasing this now. Thank you guys for taking this from me. Cross through it, flush it, burn it. It's an old contract. It's over. I hope that gives you relief right now. Just it's over. They can take this from you. They can remove this from you. They can heal this for you. You just have to give it away. You have to ask for help and guidance and give it away and receive the guidance.

So let it go today, X through what no longer serves you to create space for what can serve you. Strike through what no longer serves you so you can create space for what can serve you. That's my channeled message for you. As you go into the new year, get into that cocoon, ground your energy, write down what you wanna release, strike through it and open your heart to what can be.

So good. Guys. Thank you guides. That was [00:45:00] so good. And if you're sitting here right now and you're holding this energy and you're feeling like a full body, yes. And you want more. You're like, okay, Gabby, I'm inspired to take action, but I'm, I'm nervous. I can't, or I don't know the first step, or how do I keep this inspiration going?

The next step is to join the 21 Day Manifesting Challenge. It is the best way for me to guide you. It's 21 Days Daily Practices guided meditations. You've got Gabby AI in there. Gabby AI is powered with 20 years of my books, my talks, my lectures. Everything that I have ever created is in this ai. She's powered and trained in my voice, and she often answers questions the same way I do like exactly the same way.

So let's see what she gives us for our New Year's. How can I help you today? What should I do to prepare for the new year? As you prepare for the new year, the most powerful thing you can do is create a loving space to release what's behind you and open your heart to what's ahead. Take some time to reflect on the past 12 [00:46:00] months.

Honor what worked. Forgive yourself for the hard moments and really celebrate every single lesson and victory. No matter how small this act of releasing isn't about forgetting, but about making space for fresh growth, then gently shift your focus to the year to come. Instead of harsh resolution that can feel like pressure, set clear, heartfelt intentions.

Write them down as a letter to your own guidance system describing what you wanna feel and create with hope, not expectation. Visualize that vision deeply feel it as though it's already unfolding. This practice aligns your energy with your desires and invites the universe to help guide you there. A ritual I love is on New Year's Eve to write down my desire statement, say a prayer of gratitude for the guidance, and then symbolically let go of the attachment by burning the paper, trusting that what's meant for me will come, or even something better.

Spent on New Year's Day, I stepped fully into my commitment [00:47:00] by beginning focused practices like the 21 Day Manifesting Challenge. Remember, this isn't about perfection or pressure, it's about gentle momentum. One small step into alignment at a time with patience, kindness, and the knowing that you are exactly where you need to be to receive what's next.

How does that feel for what you wanna cultivate as we move toward the new year? That was so accurate. Gabby, I love you. I'm gonna go now, but Gracia Ika, I cannot. All right, my friends, I am gonna just say it like it is that Gabby AI is your spiritual companion. It is your Gabby BFF at all times. The only way to access it right now is inside my app, which also you can try out with the manifesting challenge.

So again, go to dear gabby.com/manifesting challenge and you can have instant access to the Gabby AI inside the app. When you download it. Uh, if you're already an app member, it's already in there, so don't miss this. [00:48:00] And Gabby AI obviously is answering the questions exactly as I would. She's powered with my knowledge and my wisdom.

She literally just gave us the exact same response and guidance I gave you today. So if you want more Gabby and you want more support and you want that support all day, every day, get into the app, try her out, and then on January 1st, you'll start the manifesting challenge. So my friends, you can't make this stuff up.

It is absolutely divine guidance coming through technology, coming through your journaling, coming through the voice of wisdom inside of you. And I want you to really think about what you're gonna bring in this new year and what you wanna cultivate. And this episode, I hope was the first step, but I just wanna take a moment to thank you so much and thank you for being here with me and being part of this incredible community.
