As this year comes to a close, I found myself less interested in numbers or accomplishments—and more curious about how this year shaped me.

This isn’t a highlight reel episode. It’s a reflection on what surprised me, what humbled me, what didn’t work, and what I’m carrying forward into the next season.

In this solo episode, I reflect on:

• The nuance I’ve learned to hold in birth work

• Letting go of “right vs. wrong” and choosing presence instead

• What clearer communication taught me in my photography business

• Staying with a business model long enough to build real conviction

This episode is for anyone ending the year feeling quieter, steadier, or more humbled than expected. Growth doesn’t always look loud—and that doesn’t mean you’re behind.
