#45 Creating a Year You’ll Be Proud to Look Back On

December 12, 2025 • Lawyer Life Experiment • Season 4 • Episode 45

As the year draws to a close, we reflect on how we’re really finishing it — and why looking at the facts can tell a very different story from memory or gut feeling. In this episode, we talk about goal-setting: how to set stretch goals, the difference between directional intentions and SMART goals, and why reviewing the evidence of your year can be surprisingly empowering.

It’s a conversation about clarity of focus, intentionality, and choosing the right markers for a year you’ll be proud to look back on. We also offer a few ideas to experiment with as you think about your own goals for the year ahead - [link here].

As we prepare for a new year of podcasting, we’d love to hear your thoughts — and any topics you’d like us to explore. Have a wonderful festive season.

We love hearing how experiments work out for you. Email us at <frieda@bravingboundaries.com> and <anya@anyasmirnova.com>.
