How often do you stop and really look back at the past year? Not just to replay the highlights or cringe at the challenges, but to really reflect—on the wins, the lessons, and the growth you didn’t even realize was happening.

In this episode of The Art of Online Course Creation, we’re hitting pause on the hustle to do just that. Shannon walks you through how taking time to reflect can fuel your next big moves, help you set meaningful goals, and set the tone for a more intentional year ahead.

Whether you’re celebrating major wins or untangling lessons from the tougher moments, this conversation is all about making space for growth, clarity, and purpose as you head into 2025.
