Welcome to Episode 48 of THIS Leader! As we step into 2026, I'm inviting you to pause before diving headfirst into another year of endless demands and obligations.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• The Power of Intentional Reflection: Why getting clear on what you truly want - not what you think you should want - changes everything about how you lead and live
• Your Multiple Roles as Opportunities: How each role you play (leader, partner, parent, friend) is a chance to understand yourself better and show up with more generosity and joy
• Questions That Matter: Reflection prompts to help you envision your best days, strengthen your relationships, and identify where you can bring more patience, grace, and lightness to your life
• Permission to Dream Bigger: Why this year isn't about more achievements, but about creating more meaning, connection, joy, and impact

Key Reflection Questions from the Episode:

1. What will your best days look like in 2026?
2. Where can you let go of your grip a little and start enjoying the ride more?
3. Who in your life deserves more appreciation or a more consistent listening ear?
4. What new experiences will you invite into your life this year?
5. What would make this year feel significant to YOU?
