Show Notes
In this New Year’s special episode of The Warrior Parent Podcast, Marci Mitchell and Debbie DiManno reflect on the challenges of 2025 and invite listeners to step into 2026 with clarity, intention, and hope. They explore staying curious, calming the nervous system, releasing outdated beliefs, and using manifestation as a practical tool for creating a meaningful life. This episode offers inspiration, grounding practices, and a powerful reminder that peace, joy, and purpose all begin from within.
Letting Go of 2025 and Embracing What’s Next
In this New Year’s special, hosts Marci Mitchell and Debbie DiManno reflect on the exhaustion, overwhelm, and uncertainty many felt throughout 2025. They acknowledge the collective nervous system fatigue while reminding listeners that chaos has always existed—and peace begins from within. Using the symbolism of the Year of the Fire Horse, they invite listeners to buckle up for forward momentum, clarity, and meaningful progress in 2026.
Staying Curious, Grounded, and Open to Change
Marci and Debbie explore the importance of staying curious rather than fearful, especially during times of rapid change. They discuss releasing outdated beliefs, questioning long-held assumptions, and choosing openness over rigidity—whether in parenting, personal identity, or embracing new technologies like AI. The conversation emphasizes that curiosity, self-reflection, and nervous system regulation are essential tools for growth, clarity, and connection.
Manifestation, Intention, and Creating a Life You Love
The episode closes with a powerful conversation about manifestation and intentional living. Marci and Debbie break it down into three simple steps: setting bold intentions, fully feeling and visualizing what’s desired, and taking aligned action—one step at a time. They share their own journey of manifesting The Warrior Parent Podcast, their nonprofit, the CourTools app, and an upcoming book, encouraging listeners to dream big, stay grounded, and consciously plant the seeds they want to grow in 2026.
Thank you so much for listening to this episode! This podcast is dedicated to supporting families through the ups and downs of parenting and mental wellness. We know how tough it can be to raise kids in today’s world, but you don’t have to do it alone. Join us and let’s lift each other up.
