2026 Update The Hunger Games

Living life in the Hunger Games and battling it out in the arena has been challenging for me during this incarnation. Whether you believe you made the choice to be here on earth, or if you believe you were clubbed and shoved down to earth and forced to participate, we all find ourselves here now, in this massively complex co created, and co narrated movie of our lives.

The energies of the last 6 + years and especially for 2026 are wild and full of sparks. This is not based on anything astrological, simply based on how the last week and half of my life has been. All happening at a time where earths energy is literally shifting beneath us, and the inevitability of change is welcomed by most if not all.

I tend to think a lot, and like to write to process these thoughts that come, so I am adding this blog for those of you who are interested in getting to know me, hearing my ideas about being human, and my process for building my healing business. I use writing as a touchstone to note ways in which I traverse these tricky rivers. The process is a fluid one. I found I can either float, or drown, in the sometimes calm, and sometimes turbulent rip tides of being human. That I will drown is an inevitability when I am not showing up for myself and stop paying attention.

Building a business with confidence doesn’t always arrive with a bold entrance. Sometimes, it builds quietly, step by step, with a mediocre self made website, and a dream. The magic is we show up for ourselves day after day in spite of the Hunger Games trying to kill us. It grows when we choose to try, and put ourself out there, even when we’re unsure or feel rejected by the Matrix. It’s proven to me time and again that when I take action despite my self-doubt, I reinforce the belief that not only am I worthy, I am also highly capable. Confidence isn’t about having all the answers — it’s about trusting that even if you don’t know how, you will get answers along the way.

Having said that, I had my back go out this last week, and my car got hit not once but twice. Life is lifing. I find it humorous like a slapstick comedy where the main character is beat to shit for our entertainment. But the difference for me in real life is how does one emotionally regulate through the mishaps and disasters? How can I find self compassion and give myself grace to be a messy human and exist in a healing space without the answers?

What is fun to watch is the barrage of thoughts that have come in to be noticed over this last week, here are a few of them, maybe someone out there can relate;

What did I do to cause this? If I can’t heal myself, I am a fraud who doesn’t deserve to help others. Was it because of my text to that person? Is this retribution for harm done in a past life, or in this one? Am I actually not God’s favorite? Is there a demon attached to me? What if I cleanse my energy this way or that one? Am I supposed to slow down? If so what am I supposed to learn so I don’t need to learn it again? Am I a victim of circumstance? What if I choose not to feel like one?

So many questions, I found myself giggling at the absurdity of wondering “why” it was happening when I live in the Matrix or Hunger Games as you choose. I have my own internal battles, and emotional loops. I found myself in the mirror at one point. I saw me standing there as tribute, and as the game maker, even the arena itself. There was nothing more to do than face myself in the present moment and just be. Accepting that my body felt hurt, my vehicle was injured, my ego was bruised, and money got spent on things that I did not want to spend it on. But ultimately I am all good, feeling calm, and on the mend. I even got two new clients this last week in spite of being stuck at home licking my wounds.

The funny thing for me as an energy worker is the key to making things happen isn’t waiting for the perfect moment to impart my will; it’s starting where I am that day, and following the energies to see what wants to happen. As long as I can allow the thoughts to come without putting all of my energy into them, I seem to be able to ride the navigational shifts and changes as opposed to be smacked into the rocky shores of daily existence.

Big goals can feel overwhelming, it is easy to fall into the idea that we aren’t enough, but momentum builds through small, consistent actions, micro habits. I’ve had to completely change my thought patterns in my first year being in business for myself. Yes it’s been great, and I have made strides. It was also challenging, often scary, but overall rewarding, to bring more of me into my own life, and do it in a way that is healing, creative, and lucrative.

No matter what your dream is whether you’re working toward personal or professional goals, progress comes from showing up — not perfectly, but persistently as you are. Action creates clarity, and over time, those steps forward add up to something real. Stop Hunger Gaming yourself. Don’t create scarcity where abundance dwells, quit manufacturing enemies from your shadows and forgive those who hurt you. And I find most important for me is to not treat my emotions like a battle, and instead welcome all the feelings into my space to be felt.

You don’t need to be fearless to reach your goals, you just need to be willing. Willing to try, willing to learn, willing to be bad at first, and willing to believe that you’re capable of more. The road may not always be smooth, but what growth is? Don’t allow your ego wounds to weaponize you against the world. What matters most today is that you keep going, keep learning, and keep believing in the version of yourself you’re becoming. The real hunger is not for winning, not even for survival- it’s the hunger for becoming your truest most authentic self. Remember you are the Mockingjay, always meant to sing a little different than the others. That’s how Spirit made you. So this year is my personal invitation to anyone who’d care to join me in re writing the rules of your own game.

May the odds be ever in your favor, love love, and may the Schwartz be with you!
