Before we step into the rush of December — the events, expectations, emotions, and everything extra — this episode invites you to slow down and take a breath.

Today, Andrea walks you through one of the most clarity-creating exercises she uses with clients and inside her Circle groups: choosing a feeling you want to protect and then using your camera roll or calendar as a truth-telling inventory to understand what supports that feeling… and what drains it.

This isn’t about resolutions, reinventions, or “new year, new me.”
It’s about recognizing a feeling that already lives in you — even if it shows up inconsistently — and learning how to protect it as you move into your next chapter.

Inside this episode, Andrea shares:

• Why choosing one anchor feeling is far more powerful than setting a dozen goals

• How your camera roll and calendar reveal the real story of your year

• The three buckets that help you see your wins, your drains, and your clues

• How patterns point directly to what needs to be protected, released, or re-aligned

• Why boundaries hide in your calendar

• How Andrea’s own year — including breast cancer, recovery, healing, recalibration — led her to choose strength as her feeling to protect

This episode is part grounding, part practical exercise, and part invitation to choose differently before January arrives.

• How to identify the feeling that anchors you

• What your camera roll and planner reveal about your lived experience

• How to gather data about your life without judgment

• How small smile moments and forgotten wins show you what supports you

• Why repeated drains show you exactly where boundaries are needed

• A simple, powerful framework to step into December with intention
