  The year of the horse, Freedom, fire and bold
• 0:10
  moves. There are years where you plant seeds and then
• 0:14
  there are years where you run. 2026 isn't a
• 0:18
  quiet year, it's a bold one. It's the year of the horse
• 0:22
  and this is your permission to moles.
• 0:26
  This episode isn't about astrology predictions, it's about
• 0:30
  energy. It's about symbolism and
• 0:33
  what happens when you decide that this is your year to stop hesitating.

  Welcome to Nnedi Unfiltered, the podcast for moms who love their
• 0:42
  kids but know they were meant for more. I'm Natie, a mom of three
• 0:46
  real estate agent and online entrepreneur. And this
• 0:50
  is where we talk confidence, mindset, money, and building a
• 0:54
  life that actually feels like yours. No fluff,
• 0:58
  no pretending, just real conversations. For women
• 1:02
  ready to stop playing small In
• 1:06
  Chinese zodiac symbolism, the horse represents freedom,
• 1:10
  momentum, independence, strength and
• 1:15
  forward motion. It's not passive energy, its movement
• 1:20
  energy. And I love this year because it's my year because
• 1:24
  I was born in the year of a horse and I absolutely
• 1:28
  love that animals that animal.
• 1:32
  Horses don't tiptoe, they run.
• 1:37
  This is the year associated with bold actions,
• 1:41
  breaking free from restrictions,
• 1:44
  independence, expansion, and choosing
• 1:48
  courage over comfort. I know that for moms especially,
• 1:52
  this symbolism hits differently.
• 1:55
  I know for me it does. So many women feel tethered
• 2:02
  by responsibility,
• 2:05
  by expectations, by guilt.
• 2:08
  And the horse energy says you can carry
• 2:12
  responsibility and still move forward powerfully.
• 2:17
  Just because you're a mom does not mean that you put up
• 2:21
  the wall and that you cannot spread your wings, that you cannot do
• 2:28
  things that make you happy, that bring joy, that can
• 2:31
  help your family and that can make you happy.
• 2:36
  Freedom doesn't mean abandoning your life, it means
• 2:39
  expanding inside it. You're no longer playing
• 2:44
  small. You going after your dreams, whatever you've been working on last
• 2:48
  year, then keep on working on it. If you were,
• 2:52
  if you were thinking about starting your business, getting online,
• 2:55
  whatever it is, doing the creating
• 2:59
  the extra business for you to bring extra money, then start doing that
• 3:04
  and don't stop. The energy of the horse
• 3:08
  is isn't have it all figured out.
• 3:11
  It's move you, move you start you putting things
• 3:15
  into action. So many women delay starting because they want
• 3:19
  clarity first. But clarity comes
• 3:23
  from motion, not overthinking. How long are
• 3:27
  you going to sit there and overthink your decisions and say,
• 3:33
  well, I'm not fully ready, I'm not fully confident.
• 3:37
  That's never going to come. Stop overthinking and
• 3:41
  start doing momentum creates confidence,
• 3:45
  action builds Your identity and the movement
• 3:50
  dissolves the fear. If you've been sitting
• 3:54
  on ideas, starting content, launching something,
• 3:58
  building income online, leveling up your real estate,
• 4:03
  this is the year to move before you feel fully ready.
• 4:07
  Because waiting is comfortable. Running requires
• 4:12
  courage. So be courageous. Step into
• 4:16
  the unknown. You will learn as
• 4:20
  you go along. And this is your year to
• 4:25
  do it. Because freedom isn't
• 4:29
  just financial, it it's also emotional. When we talk
• 4:33
  about freedom, most moms immediately think financial freedom.
• 4:36
  Yes, of course, money creates that option.
• 4:40
  Money talks. Money provides the freedom
• 4:44
  that to be able to do things, not just to buy
• 4:47
  things, but emotional freedom is just as powerful. Emotional freedom
• 4:52
  looks like not needing everyone to approve of your growth,
• 4:56
  not feeling guilty for wanting more, not shrinking
• 4:59
  your ambition to stay relatable,
• 5:03
  and not apologizing for evolving.
• 5:07
  This is the year to do you and
• 5:12
  to create your new you and leave the
• 5:16
  old you behind. You can love
• 5:20
  motherhood deeply and still desire expansion. You can be
• 5:24
  present and still build. You can nurture and still
• 5:27
  lead. That duality is power.
• 5:32
  You can do multiple things. You can multitask.
• 5:36
  You're a mom. You can do so many things.
• 5:39
  So stop putting excuses, stop putting roadblocks and
• 5:45
  start working on your dreams and your goals.
• 5:48
  Your boldness is a muscle. Boldness isn't
• 5:52
  personality based, it's practice based.
• 5:56
  You don't want, you don't. You don't just wake up fearless.
• 6:00
  You build it through repetition.
• 6:04
  Post that video, have the uncomfortable conversation,
• 6:08
  raise your standards, put the boundaries,
• 6:12
  pitch the idea, increase your prices.
• 6:16
  Say no, say yes.
• 6:19
  Apply to positions, but just
• 6:24
  start. Don't just sit around and wait for the perfect
• 6:28
  timing. The perfect timing doesn't exist. The perfect timing
• 6:32
  is now. You have to remember that each action builds
• 6:37
  identity. And here's what's important.
• 6:40
  Horses are powerful because they move together in
• 6:44
  herds. And this year isn't about doing it alone.
• 6:48
  It's about surrounding yourself with women who are also running.
• 6:53
  Because community fuels courage.
• 6:55
  Surround yourself with people who will uplift
• 6:59
  you, people who will be there through hard
• 7:03
  times, people who will give you a lending hand,
• 7:07
  people who will hear you out, people who will push you.
• 7:11
  These are the women that you want to surround yourself.
• 7:17
  If you don't move,
• 7:21
  you will feel it. The most uncomfortable place to be
• 7:26
  isn't failing. It's knowing you're meant for more. And still
• 7:30
  staying still. You'll see your life passing by and then
• 7:34
  what you're going to do, you're going to look back and say, why I didn't
• 7:38
  take those steps, why I didn't push myself.
• 7:43
  And guess what? Stagnation creates resentment,
• 7:47
  but action creates clarity. So this
• 7:51
  year will either stretch you because you moved or stretch
• 7:55
  you because you didn't. Either way, growth is happening.
• 7:59
  So choose your discomfort. It's okay
• 8:03
  to be uncomfortable, because to be uncomfortable,
• 8:07
  to be comfortable, you need to get uncomfortable.
• 8:11
  So remember, this is the year.
• 8:15
  This is the year to grow. This is the
• 8:19
  year for freedom. This is the year for boldness. This is the year to play
• 8:23
  big. This is the year to stop looking for
• 8:27
  excuses and giving excuses is the year to stop seeking
• 8:32
  permission. This is your year to move not
• 8:36
  recklessly, not perfectly, but boldly.
• 8:40
  Freedom doesn't arrive. It is created. And it's created
• 8:44
  by you. And if you've been waiting for a sign, this is
• 8:48
  it. This is your sign. Your dreams
• 8:53
  aren't random. They're reminders. And 2026
• 8:57
  might just be the year you finally run towards them.
• 9:01
  If this episode spoke to you, it's not by accident.
• 9:04
  Your dreams aren't random, they're reminders.
• 9:08
  Keep going. Keep choosing yourself and I'll
• 9:12
  meet you in the next episode of Natti Unfilter.
