In this reflective episode of Karmic Mirror, Michelle and Ally slow things down to talk honestly about January; as a moment of orientation, rather than the starting line we tend to feel pressure to sprint from. Recorded in the heart of winter, this conversation questions the pressure to set hard goals, choose a “word for the year,” or immediately know what’s next, especially when our bodies, energy, and the natural world are asking for rest, recalibration, and care.

The discussion moves through the tension many of us feel at the beginning of a new year: the collective momentum of “new beginnings” alongside a deeper pull toward slowness, experimentation, and listening. Together, they explore themes of self-trust, urgency versus alignment, planting seeds without forcing outcomes, and allowing clarity to arrive through lived experience rather than pressure. This episode is about permission — to pause, to play, and to let the season shape the pace.

In this episode, you'll explore:

🌀 January as a time for orientation rather than immediate goal-setting

🌀 The tension between collective “new year” energy and seasonal wisdom

🌀 Letting go of urgency and the pressure to have it all figured out

🌀 Experimentation, curiosity, and the value of planting seeds without control

🌀 Growth versus accumulation, and why more isn’t always better

🌀 Self-trust built through small, everyday moments

🌀 Honoring personal rhythms instead of following prescribed timelines

🌀 Allowing desires and direction to unfold rather than forcing clarity

This episode is an invitation to meet yourself where you are, take stock of what’s present, and remember that there is time; to rest, to listen, and to move forward in a way that feels aligned.

In this episode, we’re joined by Korona, an end-of-life doula, spiritual guide, and teacher, and the presence behind Omnia Mirari. Through her hospice work, spiritual study, and lived experience, Korona helps reframe death not as something separate from life, but as an initiation that shapes how we live, relate, and love.

The discussion moves between death and devotion, fear and surrender, grief and joy, and what it means to remember who we are beneath identity, story, and conditioning. Korona shares her near-birth experience, a profound out-of-body experience, and the insights that led her to sit with people at the end of life, to witness and be an embodiment of love.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

• Korona’s near-birth experience and the memory of “home”
• Death awareness as a living spiritual practice
• Why fear acts as a veil — and how surrender builds trust
• Grief and joy as simultaneous experiences
• Heart memory and what endures beyond cognition
• Frequency alignment and embodiment over manifestation
• How end-of-life work teaches us how to live more fully

This episode is for anyone curious about death, spirituality, grief, or the deeper questions that surface as we live with greater awareness.
