Doing Less, Trusting More: How I’m Closing This Year
This episode is a little different.
Instead of talking about a concept, a lesson, or a tool, I’m sharing how I’m actually choosing to close this year and why this matters more than rushing into the next one with new goals.
This year asked me to slow down, listen to my body, and let go of the pressure to achieve or perform. At the time, it didn’t feel comfortable or impressive. But looking back now, I can see how much shifted beneath the surface and how essential that internal work has been.
In this episode, I talk about celebration as a way of living, integrating, and creating safety within yourself.
I also share a simple process I used to reflect on this year honestly and close it with intention — something you can do too, without forcing clarity or productivity.
Here's a little summary of the steps:
1. Reflecting on each month’s wins and challenges
Looking back month by month and naming the real themes that stood out, not just what went well, but what stretched and grew you too.
2. Finding the wisdom in the hard months
Instead of dismissing difficult periods as “nothing happened,” learning to ask what those moments taught you about yourself, your body, and your needs.
3. Setting an intention for the year ahead
Not in terms of your physical goals, but what you want to embody more of.
4. Choosing three anchor words as guiding pillars
Simple, embodied reminders to help you make aligned decisions moving forward.
5. Drawing a line in the sand to mark completion
Creating a clear energetic ending to this year so your body and nervous system can truly move into the next chapter.
I also share a bit more about my own journey this year, from health challenges and slowing down, to learning how to trust my body, release old patterns of overgiving, and soften into a more grounded pace of life.
If this year felt quieter, heavier, or more internal than you expected, this episode is for you.
