228. Reflections Before the Goals: 5 Questions to Look Back Honestly on Your Year
Description
Before you set a single new goal, I want to invite you to pause.
In this episode of The Modern High Performer, I'm guiding you through a thoughtful end‑of‑year reflection process designed to help you make sense of the last 12 months honestly, without judgment, and without the pressure to "spin" everything into growth.

I share five reflection prompts I use personally and with coaching clients to surface what actually mattered this year, what quietly drained you, and what's ready to change. I also open up about my own moments of tension, growth, and recalibration especially around work, family, expectations, and connection. This isn't about squeezing meaning out of every hard moment. It's about clarity. It's about giving yourself permission to evolve before you decide what's next.
I would encourage you to grab a pen and paper to journal on these questions:
-
What looked good on paper but didn't feel good in real life?
-
What has been the hardest part of the year for me? And what did you learn from it?
-
Where do you need to stop comparing and performing?
-
Who did I let see the real version of me this year? Where have I been strong, but not alone?
-
What permission do I need to give myself before I set goals for the next year?
If you're feeling the pull to do things differently in the year ahead, this conversation will help you slow down, take stock, and move forward with intention.
