What I Know Now | How to make 2026 Great

About this episode

In this episode, Rashad Young discusses how to approach the new year with clarity and intention rather than pressure, reflecting on personal lessons learned.

2026 doesn’t need another version of you — it needs the most honest one. In this opening episode of Season 5 of Knowing is Knowing , I reflect on the lessons that changed how I move, think, and choose. This episode isn’t about setting unrealistic goals or chasing perfection. It’s about clarity, discernment, and entering the new year with intention instead of pressure. We talk about: Letting go of who you had to be to survive Why peace often feels unfamiliar at first Moving with boundaries instead of explanations Trusting what you already know about yourself If you’re entering 2026 feeling reflective, grounded, or in between versions of yourself, this conversation is for you. When you know… you move different.
