Hi love, I did my own midyear check in this weekend and had to share it with you because this was so life changing and I feel the energy is so electric to use this mercury retrograde to get super clear for where we are being called to align more to our truth, our purpose and our why for doing everything we do.
I got back from our trips and have been unpacking and organizing and that turned into de-cluttering everything from my drawers to my emails, photos and more and it’s clearing out so much which then lead me to a full life audit…hello other ADD generator girlies or anyone who resonates with me on this. I’m super excited to be diving in and using Claude to save me so much time with all of it and set up some amazing systems that I would not be able to have right now like a house manager, a digital organizer and more. So when I got this huge message to do a full mid year check in audit and went through it I was so excited for what it opened up for me.
I had my journal open on the kitchen counter, my stacked water I’m obsessed with (I’ll leave one of my recipes below) , girls playing in the other room, and somewhere between question three and question four I felt that thing happen that I’m always talking about where you know something is awakening, energy loosening in my chest, like something inside me finally exhaled. Because I remembered something I want to hand straight to you today.
my days have been a lot of juggling it all since school has been out and this retrograde is showing me where I am being called to button some things up, get more efficient and have more fun…. so while it looks cool to be at the pool with my kids, it’s a lot some days to hold all the expansion I’m carrying right now so this has helped me a lot and I hope it helps you too…
We are officially in the second half of 2026. And before your brain does the thing where it starts listing everything that hasn’t happened yet, I need you to actually let this land for a second: the best part of your year hasn’t even happened yet. Six whole months are sitting in front of you, completely unwritten, and six months is genuinely enough time to change your entire life.
I’m not saying that just to hype you up ha although I love being a cheerleader, I’ve truly lived what locking in for 6 months can do for your life when you are ready to quantum leap and shift. There was a six month stretch of my life where I went from anxiety running in my body every single day to a calm I didn’t know was available to me, from dreading my work to building something I love so much it doesn’t feel like work most days. And the wildest part is that the shift didn’t come from better goals or a prettier planner.
It came from a formula I figured out and keep optimizing. It was the year I stopped trying to think my way into a new life and started working with my energy directly, paired it with mindset work and then set up systems to support my feminine creativity to flow. And now I have a new layer of using Claude as a supportive tool to save me time and help more people so I am testing it all right now and it’s blowing my mind so stay tuned because of course I won’t gate keep.
Ok so, that’s what I want to give you today. A real midyear check in you can use to be your best self and have some accountability to make the rest of the year the best yet. , It’s the exact one I just did myself, and then the energy plan that actually carries it, because I love you and journaling alone was never going to be the whole story.
First, the sutra that changes how you do this…
In Kundalini yoga there are five sutras for the Aquarian Age, the era we’re living in right now, and the fourth one is the whole spirit of this post: understand through compassion or you will misunderstand the times.
It’s usually taught in a context of how we interact with the world, but girl, it applies just as much to how you hold your own last six months. If you look back at your year through judgment, you will misread the entire thing. You’ll see everything that didn’t happen and miss everything that was quietly being built. But when you look back through compassion, the exact same six months become the clearest, kindest data you’ve ever been given, so this is a reminder to keep that in mind to be in a mindset to receive tons of miracles through this exercise. Your year isn’t a report card. It’s a map, and you’re about to read it with love.
So that’s our one rule for this whole check in. Heart first. You’re not here to grade yourself, you’re here to listen to yourself. And I really see this as a huge act of self love to take 30 minutes to an hour to do this and make it fun. Grab yourself a fun drink, light a candle and put on your favorite beats and make it a ceremony!
Here is my cancer playlist for you if you don’t have it:
Let’s get into why some of the January intentions didn’t land (this is actually good news)
If some of what you wrote in January is still sitting there untouched, nothing went wrong with you. You weren’t lazy and you don’t need more discipline, I promise. It’s just that most of us were only ever taught to think our way into a new life. New goals, new lists, new plans, all of it living in the mind. And your life doesn’t change from your mind, it changes from your energy. You can hand the most beautiful vision in the world to a nervous system that’s still running an old pattern, and the pattern will keep winning, not because you’re weak but because the body always leads.
Which means the answer isn’t pushing harder. The answer is a check in that reads your energy honestly, and then a daily practice and actions that shifts it. That’s the whole post and it bring a whole lot of magic.
But first, the outer reset (your free mid-year checklist)
Before we go inward, we clear the decks. Everything in your outer world is holding energy, your closet, your inbox, your camera roll, all of it. You cannot hear your own intuition over that much noise. So here’s the reset checklist I run every July. Screenshot it, save it, do a few each week or literally do one. None of it is homework, all of it is space-making.
Your space
Clear one room until it actually feels lighter (your space holds your energy, this is not a chore, it’s a practice)
Release the clothes that belong to a past version of you
Deep clean the corner you’ve been avoiding, that’s where the stuck energy lives
Put something beautiful where you’ll see it every morning
Your energy and body
Drink water like it’s a devotion, not a task and make it more fun
Get your bare feet on actual earth this week
Build your morning floor: practice first, phone second, even three minutes counts
Book the thing your body has been asking for, the massage, the nap, the early night
Your digital world
Delete the apps you haven’t opened since January
Unsubscribe from every email that doesn’t feed you (yes, right now, it takes ten minutes and stay tune if you want claude to do this for you)
Back up your photos, then delete the screenshots (same on claude)
Set one screen-time limit and let it protect you
Your work and money
Look at your numbers with compassion, they’re data, not a report card
Update the bio you’ve outgrown
Reread your January intentions without judgment, we’ll do the real review together below
Your joy
Write a summer joy list, not a bucket list, a joy list. One for us was watching chicks hatch so we got 7 eggs today from Rent the Chicken ha and will be sharing about it on the gram!
Start the book that’s been sitting on your nightstand
Plan one little trip, even a day counts
Try the hobby you keep saying you’ll try
Tell one person something you appreciate about them
That’s the outer layer. Now here’s the inner one, and this is where it gets good.
So here’s how this works. I wrote twelve questions. Six that look back at the first half of your year with so much compassion, and six that write the vision for the six months ahead. Then the exact energy plan I’d pair with your answers, including which specific Kundalini yoga practices match what your check in reveals, because there is no one universal practice for everyone and knowing which one is yours changes everything. And because I know some of you love doing this work in conversation, I’m also giving you the four Claude prompts I use to walk myself through the entire thing, reflection, vision, plan, and weekly check in, so you have a thinking partner who lovingly refuses to accept your surface level answers.
A little taste from the looking back section, because I want you to feel this before you decide anything:
When during the last six months did you feel most like yourself? Not happiest, not most productive. Most you. What were you doing, and who were you with?
What did you keep almost starting? The thing you researched, talked about at dinner, felt in your chest, and haven’t begun yet. Name it, because it keeps coming back for a reason.
What were you afraid of six months ago that you’re not afraid of now? Sit with that one. You have proof that you change. You’ve already done it.
The full twelve, plus the energy plan and the practices, are just below for my subscribers. I’m doing this check in right alongside you this week, so consider this us doing it together.
And if you are reading this and felt less “I want to do this” and more “I want to be the one teaching this,” I see you, and that feeling is worth trusting and I would love for you to apply for our first ever Intune Kundalini Teacher Training kicking off at the end of September and the pre-sale is ending this week!
