Shownotes

Want to start 2025 with clarity, purpose, and realistic goals? Discover how reflecting on your progress can set the foundation for a truly fulfilling year.

Too often, we dive into the new year focused only on what needs to change, skipping the crucial step of acknowledging our wins and lessons from the past year. This episode offers a simple yet powerful approach to reflection and values-driven goal setting that energizes rather than overwhelms.

  • Learn how celebrating your progress builds momentum for achieving future goals.
  • Discover a 3-step framework for reflecting on the past year and identifying key lessons.
  • Create meaningful, values-driven goals that inspire excitement and are grounded in small, actionable steps.

Start your journey to a mindful and balanced 2025 by listening to this episode and learning how to align your goals with what truly matters to you.

I help empathic executives install a self-care system that reduces anxiety and increases peace of mind. Book a FREE discovery call here
