Ever feel like you're racing through the day, only to crash at night wondering "What did I even accomplish?" You're not alone. Alison gets it too. She shares her real struggles with feeling "all over the place," visionary overwhelm, and that nagging voice saying you're not enough. But here's the good news: simple end-of-day habits can quiet the chaos and help you own your peace.

In this honest solo episode, Alison wraps 2025 with heart-on-sleeve honesty. She admits her struggles with visionary restlessness and outcome obsession, then lists practical end-of-day rituals like writing wins, gratitude, and speaking to your body.

You’ll discover:
- Write down your daily wins. See what you really accomplished, even on chaotic days.
- Turn regrets around: Ask "What would I do differently tomorrow?" instead of beating yourself up.
- Start gratitude with "this moment," and appreciate fully: "What we do not appreciate does not exist."
- Thank your body, talk to your cells, organs, legs—to end self-bullying and ease pains.
- Skip the crowd: "Don't do what everybody else is doing" to beat mediocrity.
- Morning habit: Write 1/3/5/10-year goals, affirmations, and cherish your breath.
