265. The Power of Mid-Year Reflection: Pause, Integrate, and Move Forward with Intention


Listen Later

A real-time invitation to pause, reflect, and integrate.

In this special mid-year episode,  we offer you the spaciousness and tools to reconnect with your intentions, acknowledge your growth, and mindfully marinate in what matters most. 

We reflect openly on our guiding words for the year—how they’ve supported us, challenged us, and shaped our journeys so far. 

With humor, honesty, and heart, we invite you to slow down and notice what’s working, what’s shifted, and what your future self will thank you for.

This is an imperfect, spontaneous practice of self-kindness—and a gentle reminder that true healing happens not just through action but through thoughtful integration.

Pearls of Wisdom:

  • Reflecting mid-year is a powerful way to integrate growth and move forward with clarity and intention.

  • Questions like “What have I done well?” and “What’s bringing me joy?” help retrain our brains toward positive attention and away from perfectionism.

  • Your words of the year—whether you remember all of them or just one—can serve as wise, compassionate guides when revisited with openness.

  • Resting, in all its forms, is not a pause from progress—it is progress.

  • You don’t have to answer every question, or reflect perfectly; this is about practicing awareness with kindness.

Reflection Questions:

  • What have I done well?

  • What has gone well?

  • What is working well?

  • What’s bringing you joy, delight, or fun?

  • What have you loved so far this year?

  • What will your future self thank you for spending more time on in the next six months?

Allow yourself to answer only what resonates and let the rest marinate. Let this be a moment to reset with kindness.

Stay until the end for a grounding mindful moment of reflection—an opportunity to fully pause, breathe, and let the insights of this episode settle gently into your heart.
