Episode 9 season 6: Biz Cush on Embracing 2026

Last year was a lot, especially if you have a sensitive soul. As we enter 2026, listen to this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast as host Elizabeth Cush shares tips for slowing down and savoring the good in this new year.


I want to make 2026 the year of savoring, of really enjoying what is. And as sensitive beings, those of you who are highly sensitive, savoring often comes naturally. But you might need to be more intentionally mindful about your everyday experiences to truly savor the present moment.
— Biz Cush
