Summary

In this New Year episode, Ali shares her word for the year, foundation, and the theme guiding how she’s setting up the year ahead: less chaos, more intention.

She explains her process for reflecting on the past year and talks through the unglamorous but powerful changes she’s focusing on in her daily life, including routines, work structure, habits, and health.

Ali also answers listener questions about building routines without burning out, staying consistent when motivation fades, and how to pursue stability without slipping into stagnation.

At the end, she teases last week’s Patreon episode with Skyline, where they talk about building a future intentionally and a big event coming this year.

0:00.0	I highly recommend that you do that for yourself, for your own professional and personal achievements.
0:04.6	Remind yourself of what it felt like in that moment because I think we tend to zoom past those types of feelings.
0:28.1	Hello and welcome to the first episode of 2026 of Finding Mr. Hyde the podcast. I'm your host Ali Jackson. I am so pumped to continue giving you my practical and positive approach to dating
0:35.1	relationships and a whole lot else about life based on my lived
0:37.7	experience in 26. We are celebrating five years with the pod this year, which is absolutely
0:43.9	bananas. More details coming soon. I'm doing like I want to do a listener appreciation
0:49.2	anniversary party in New York City. It's going to be in February. That's when our five-year
0:54.0	anniversary is.
0:55.7	And either Saturday, February 21st or Saturday, February 28th, I am starting to talk to venues in the
1:02.4	city. So I will keep everybody posted. And patrons, you know, I've already talked to you about this.
1:07.6	There's going to be some extra special stuff for you. So I'm just super

1:37.2	feeling about my life and how I'm setting myself up for success as we've been talking about
1:43.4	in the last couple of
1:44.2	weeks with the end of year episodes. One change that you probably already noticed is that I have
1:50.5	changed the naming convention of the episodes. I want to make it easier for people to tell
1:54.3	what an episode is about. And so I've changed that. It is the end of an era. The blank one is no more. I loved it dearly,
2:03.0	but it did make it difficult sometimes to understand like what the episode's about at a glance.
2:06.7	So I want to make that easier for you all. And also because as of a couple of weeks from now,
