Author: Glamour Farms Mercantile January 6, 2026 Duration: 23:44

What if the best way to begin 2026 isn’t with big resolutions… but with a gentler, more intentional reset?

In this episode of Glamour Farms: The Podcast, our host, Haley Klockenga is talking about the soft start. It’s a trending, life-giving approach to the new year that invites margin, peace, and purpose instead of pressure. If you’re feeling tired of hustle culture, overwhelmed by expectations, or unsure where to begin, this conversation is for you. Haley shares her soft start goals for 2026.

We’ll explore how to reset your rhythms without overhauling your life, why small, meaningful changes matter more than drastic goals, and how faith can guide your steps in a season that often feels loud and demanding. From practical habits that support a slower pace to spiritual encouragement for creating space with God, this episode offers permission to start where you are… and move forward with grace.

Whether you’re navigating a busy family life, rebuilding routines after the holidays, or simply craving a calmer way to begin the year, this episode will help you step into 2026 feeling grounded, hopeful, and refreshed.

✨ No pressure. No perfection.
