This Year's Word with Courtney Symes

Celebrate change — finding joy in life’s seasons


Listen Later

As we come to the final weeks of the year, there’s a particular kind of quiet that settles in.

It’s not just the slowing of the calendar or the closing of long-held commitments. It’s something deeper — a kind of inward turning. A natural pause. A gentle, almost instinctive moment of reflection where we look back at the year that has been and consider everything that has shifted, stretched, challenged, unsettled, strengthened, or softened us.

And in that pause, we often notice something we didn’t realise in the middle of our busy days:

This year changed us.

Not always dramatically. Not always in loud, life-altering ways.

But in subtle ones — the kind you only see when you slow down long enough to really look.

Today’s episode is the final part of our “Celebrate” series — a journey through small joys, self-celebration, shared connection, and now, the element that ties them all together: change. 

 

If the content of today’s episode has piqued your interest, I have something very special for you. I have created 30 Journal Prompts, similar to the ones mentioned throughout this episode on celebration – that’s one life-changing prompt for you to work on every day over the next month!

Just imagine how much growth you can unlock over the next 30 days if you keep the momentum going and commit to answering one prompt a day.

All you need to do to get these thought-provoking prompts is leave a positive rating and review for this podcast, take a screenshot of your review and email it to: [email protected] and I’ll email you the prompts!
