As we enter December — the season of shopping, gatherings, deadlines, and everybody pulling on your time — this episode invites you to do something radical: pause and reflect. Before we sprint into a brand-new year with the same old habits, let’s stop long enough to understand the year we’ve just lived.
In this episode, we break down what it really means to pause (to stop, breathe, and be still) and what it means to reflect (to think deeply and intentionally about our experiences). Together, we’ll explore why this powerful combination is necessary for emotional growth, mental clarity, and spiritual grounding.
From identifying this year’s wins and lessons to releasing patterns that no longer serve you, this conversation will help you enter the next season with purpose, peace, and a renewed sense of direction.
Sis / bro, before you cross into a new year, give yourself permission to slow down, look back, and prepare your heart for what’s ahead. This is your invitation to align your mind, spirit, and intentions — on purpose.
