Happy New Year! In this solo episode Sarah invites you to start the year by looking back before you look forwards.

Sarah talks about

• Why, controversially, she likes New Year more than Christmas
• How to write a 'ta-da' list rather than a to-do list
• Why taking time to reflect on what felt good in 2023 can help you follow through on your goals for 2024
