In this episode, I walk you through the exact year-end exercise I recently did with my clients to help them stop spiraling into Q4 chaos and actually land the year feeling grounded. I talk about why so many high performers wait until December to "deal with" their inner world, only to get swallowed by work targets, holiday demands, and family expectations and how that usually ends with you being the one left behind.

By the end, you'll have a simple, doable framework to regulate before and after hard tasks, protect your inner peace, and close out 2025 in alignment instead of burnout.

Key Takeaways

• When you don't consciously plan your inner year-end, work targets and holidays take overand you get left behind.
• The root cause of your chaos is rarely the external situation; it's usually patterns like people pleasing, poor prioritization, or loose boundaries.
• Regulating your nervous system before and after hard tasks teaches your body it's safe to do brave things without burning you out.
