It's the final episode of 2025. I reflect on this year. The ups, the downs, and the lessons learned.

In the one and only episode from the winter season, I discuss the significance of the break I took and how it aligns with winter being a season about slowing down, introspection, and letting go of what no longer servers me as I prepare for this new season and year of 2026.

Life changes your plans at times and it can be easy to feel like you didn't accomplish things in 2025 but reflect with compassion, not criticism.

It’s important to stop and reflect on how much you have been able to overcome instead of focusing always on future outcomes and getting overwhelmed.

In my most vulnerable episode to date I discuss life after divorce, the ups and downs, and how far I've come.

Remember failures we have experienced refine us, they don’t define us.

"All the adversity I’ve had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me." – Walt Disney.

In this episode, we reflect on my time away, as it's been a long time since I have recorded.

We discuss past failures in new opportunities and understand that you are not a failure for trying, you just failed, and failure happens.

We discuss how important it is to not identify yourself as a failure, or you will stay stuck in the mindset and never trust again.
