#215 How to protect your time and energy in 2026 to make space for meaningful grief

In this solo episode of Grief Magic, I share some gentle reflections on protecting your time and energy in the year ahead, so there’s room for meaningful connection with your grief, your body, and your creativity.

I talk about how we can be intentional with the spaces we inhabit, both physical and digital, and create an environment that supports healing and rest.

You’ll hear about:

  • Making physical space in your home by decluttering gently and reconnecting with what you already have

  • Reviewing spending and prioritising experiences and community over buying new things

  • Curating your digital world by choosing what you engage with and using blockers or breaks to make space for stillness

  • Spending social time more intentionally and finding joy in making things together

  • Asking what your grief actually needs from you right now, and creating rituals that allow it to move through you with tenderness

This episode is also an invitation to join the winter season of glimmer sessions, which start next week: https://griefmagic.com/blessings/ This is a beautiful space for creativity and renewal and there are sliding scale options available. We would love to have you!

Hi, I’m Yarrow and this is my local river. 

I’m a maker, grief companion and tarot reader living on the East coast of Scotland. 

I facilitate creative projects and gentle rituals for seasons of loss, make handmade textile magic and host the Grief Glimmers podcast. My wish is to change the culture around grief and death so that we can explore these experiences as gateways into a softer, more embodied life.
