#55: 2025 Reflections: My 4 Powerful Lessons — And How They’ll Support YOU!

Dec 18, 2025

As a high-achiever, how often do you rush to the ‘next thing’ without pausing to consider how far you’ve actually come?

I’ve certainly been guilty of it in the past!

But in recent years, I’ve become intentional about reflecting as I go. When I do my quarterly planning, it always starts by looking back and noticing what I’m learning along the way.

And at the end of the year, that pause matters more than ever.

Because the pace of change isn’t slowing down. People are feeling stretched and overloaded as they race towards the end of year finish line. They’re juggling December deadlines, Christmas commitments and all the joys of the silly season!

To top it off, there’s a real heaviness and heartbreak in the world right now, including here in Australia this week.

All of this makes it even harder to step off the hamster wheel and create space to think.

In this special episode, I’m sharing my 4 greatest lessons (and honest confessions) for 2025. Listen in to find out what worked, what didn’t — and how these lessons can help YOU!

Then, I’ll walk you through a simple end of year reflection to review YOUR year, career — and what you want in the next one.

You’ll learn:

  • The ONE practice that’s boosted my creativity, sharpened my thinking and helped me switch off — in less than 2 hours a week
  • Why trying to think your way to your ‘ideal’ role keeps you stuck in your career — and how to clarify your direction, faster
  • How to create a career that’s fulfilling and sustainable, without working less or losing your ambition
  • The two qualities which significantly grew my business this year and how they’ll help YOU increase your visibility, influence and impact
  • 4 powerful questions to reflect on your successes, learnings and set yourself up for a strong start in 2026!

This episode is a perfect one to dive into over the holidays and a MUST listen to prepare for your best year yet. So grab a pen and paper — and let’s dive in!
