A Gentle Start to 2026: Favourite Podcast Episodes & What’s Ahead

Written By Essentria Instructors - Rachael Dean & Nikki Fraser

✨ We’re kicking off 2026 with a little déjà vu—in the best way! ✨

You may notice a few familiar favourites popping back into our podcast feed as we revisit some of our most-loved episodes you might have missed the first time around. While you’re enjoying these replays, we’re quietly working behind the scenes on brand-new episodes that we can’t wait to share with you in the coming months.

2025 asked us to slow down more than we anticipated. Nikki spent time navigating the loss of a close family member, and Rachael focused on recovery following a concussion and PCS. It meant prioritising care, healing, and family,  something we fully stand behind and believe in.

As we step into 2026, we’re feeling hopeful, grounded, and genuinely excited about what’s ahead. We’re looking forward to refocusing on the podcast and bringing you fresh, thoughtful conversations very soon.

In the meantime, this is the perfect moment to dive back into the vault, revisit your favourites or discover episodes you haven’t listened to yet 🌿🎧
