In this solo episode, I’m diving into a year of immense transformation, gratitude, and new beginnings. With the winter solstice as a backdrop, I reflect on the cycles of endings and beginnings that have shaped my journey over the past year. This reflective period has offered me a chance to not only celebrate milestones but also reckon with challenges that have pushed me out of my comfort zone. From writing my first book, an experience filled with discovery and perseverance, to crafting a TEDx talk that demanded vulnerability and courage, every step has been an invitation to grow. Navigating the uncharted territory of preparing for a public launch has tested my resilience, but it has also deepened my purpose and connection to my work. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of growth, gratitude, and the power of embracing life’s transitions with openness and intention.
