My Raw Thoughts on 2025
I’m currently living a terrible year. So much negativity, bad habits, shedding, change, and pain have dragged with me all 2025. As I’m processing everything happening currently, I am trying to remember the pockets of the good.
Here are a few:
Found community in two places deeply this year.
Built my personal brand that allowed for more speaking engagement, training others, and having conversations that meant so much.
I traveled to SPAIN to speak because of the hard work I put in on my podcast and thought leadership platform. (bonus, my sister was with me)
I got to experience Disney for the first time with my goofy nephews and see them light up in new ways.
I saw 23 whales in the wild this year. (Hawaii and Washington)
I wept for the first time in years.
My best friend turned 5 and we had more walks than ever this year.
I got into Tarot and led with intuition.
I flew over 43,500 miles this year to new places, continued favorites, for work, personal, and for solo adventures.
Had oysters on both coasts of the US this year.
I danced in 12 states and 2 countries.
What I’ve learned:
Clarity doesn’t just come when you are five steps ahead.
It’s okay to need other people and in fact, it’s a requirement for living a full life.
When one door closes, so many more open.
Change is shedding and I had a lot to get rid of this year.
I am stronger than I have ever let myself believe.
Leading with heart isn’t a weakness, or something I should hide.
