333. The One Question to Ask Yourself As You Hide in the Pantry
If you’re heading into the final days of the year feeling more exhausted than "hyped," this episode is for you.
As we wrap up 2025, the pressure to reflect, goal-set, and "hit the ground running" can feel like just another weight to carry. I’ll be honest - my brain and heart weren't ready for the traditional end-of-year checklist this time. So, I decided to ditch the preset questions for something slower and more real.
This is meant to be a pause in the middle of a busy season. I want you to know that for the next 10 minutes, you don't owe anything to anyone. Whether you're in your car or hiding in the pantry for a quiet moment, let this be a safe space to breathe and acknowledge exactly where you are - not where you think you should be.
In this episode, I share:
Why I’m honoring my own deep-down exhaustion by skipping the typical year-end review.
The reality of navigating the "ripple effects" of burnout and the heaviness of the world right now.
My reflections on the big shift this year - not just the rebrand to For Real, but the realignment toward talking about the inner world behind our work.
The one question I want you to sit with as we enter 2026.
