Passing on a Powerful Message

I deeply felt the need to share the new year message from my coach and mentor, Gary De Rodriguez. I have been receiving coaching and support from Gary in all aspects of my life for about 17 years. He has created immense room for my evolution at a rapid rate and I am eternally grateful to still be running masterminds with him every week.

What if in 2026 you stop negotiating with your potential and finally step into the strength that’s always been inside you? What if 2026 isn’t about reinventing yourself, but about remembering who you truly are under the conditioning, expectations, and noise of the world?

As we enter this New Year, I invite you to a quieter, steadier kind of power. Not the frantic energy of chasing goals for the sake of achievement and personal significance, but the grounded presence of someone who knows they are here for a purpose. This is the year to breathe, reflect, laugh at the learning curves life has handed you, and step forward with clarity, courage, and spiritual maturity, fully awake to the life you’re creating.

This New Year calls for something deeper.

Not just better habits, but a steady state of higher awareness coupled with massive action.

Not just bigger goals, but clear, purposeful direction.

Not just more doing, but being awake and purposeful in every moment.

2026 will ask us to love more honestly, be less judgmental, take responsibility more courageously, laugh at ourselves more frequently, and stop dragging yesterday’s emotional furniture into tomorrow’s home. It’s time to release the stories that shrink us, burn what no longer serves, and honour the inner contract between the visionary in you and the decider in you who must act in each sacred present moment.

When the world feels unpredictable, your inner world needs to become rock-solid. Your thinking, language, and focus create the reality you inhabit. So, let’s choose awareness over autopilot. Presence over performance. Purpose over pleasing. And yes… joy, humour, and humanity over perfection.

May this year be your invitation back to just this moment. Back to your body. Back to your breath. Back to the deep knowing that you are already whole—and from that wholeness, extraordinary things can be created.

Here’s to a year of awakening hearts, expanding consciousness, healthier relationships, more profound peace, courageous love, and the choice to see more unity among us than differences. When we accomplish this, all other things will be added to us.

There are occasions when people come to me and I refer them on to Gary, particularly if I am too close to the matter or there is any conflict of interest at all.

I highly recommend working with Gary if this resonates for you for 2026 and onwards at [email protected]
