Takeaways and Reflections From 2024

What did you think of this episode?

In this week's New Year's Eve episode, I reflect on 2024 as a year of laying the groundwork for future growth. As we look forward to 2025, I want to emphasize themes like introspection and personal development that can help us all prepare for a more balanced and fulfilling year ahead.

Reflecting on the past year often brings up negatives, but it's crucial to focus on lessons learned. Inspired by Mel Robbins' podcast episode about conducting yearly audits, I plan to engage with her seven-question exercise myself. This process encourages thinking about what we want to feel in 2025—like inspiration and fulfillment—and how to make those feelings a reality.

This year, I've discovered new passions. Lifting weights at the gym has given me incredible fitness results without relying heavily on cardio. Faith played an important role, too. Additionally, I've found creativity beyond traditional art forms and realized that solutions often hide within our challenges if approached thoughtfully.

Key takeaways from this journey include mastering time management, resisting impulse shopping, and ensuring there's always room for fun amidst hard work. Trusting my intuition has been vital—it never leads me astray—and I'll rely even more on it in 2025 and more that I share in this episode.

Give yourself some time and space to reflect back upon where you've been. We can glean so much gold from the past if we are not afraid to look at it.
