Welcome back to a new year of Thinking About! The new year feels like perfect time to reflect, reset, and dive into a year full of possibility. Whether you’re setting bold goals or easing into the new year with intention, this episode is all about embracing messy action and taking meaningful steps forward.
This year’s theme: Bold moves and messy action
2025 is calling for growth, connection, and stepping outside our comfort zones. If the idea of “messy action” resonates with you, I'm right there with you — it’s all about starting where you are, even if the path ahead isn’t perfectly clear. Sometimes the smallest, imperfect steps lead to the biggest transformations.
In this episode, we're exploring:
- Reflecting on the lessons I'm carrying forward from 2024.
- Why embracing imperfection can unlock new opportunities.
- Practical ways to step into bold action this year.
- Moments that had me thinking to help motivate you to make your next move.
If you’ve been feeling stuck or uninspired, this is your sign to change things up and experiment. From rethinking how we engage with social media to carving out more time for creativity, sometimes all it takes is a small shift (or a conversation with a friend) to reignite excitement and inspiration.
