Feeling mixed emotions at the end of the year? This solo reflection uses emotional intelligence to help you navigate transitions without burning out. If you’re grateful and grieving, hopeful and overwhelmed, this episode gives you simple tools to name what’s hard, honor what’s good, and make kinder decisions for the season you’re in.

I share candidly about loneliness, identity shifts in motherhood, career changes, community loss, and our family’s upcoming move—plus why reflection (before resolutions) restores clarity, energy, and self-compassion. You’ll leave with a grounded framework to process 2025 so you can step into 2026 with more peace and agency.

What you’ll get

- A calm, step-by-step reflection practice for the messy middle

- How to hold grief and gratitude without choosing one

- A nervous-system friendly way to make big decisions

- Language for naming loneliness and finding real connection

- A preview of our January faith series (Rob Bell, Linda Kay Klein, Brian Rucker, David Perez)

I’m off next week—back in January. If this helped, follow, rate & review on Apple Podcasts, and share this with a friend who’s in the both/and.
