In this episode, I share my mixed feelings about the end of a year. As an unapologetically optimistic person, I tend to feel sad about the end of a year. I work through these feelings by reflecting on the all the things that happened in 2025. My tendency is to feel like I didn’t do enough. I wasn’t as successful as I could have been. The metric for success rarely includes a JOY barometer. I lived 31 million moments in 2025 and not all of them were joyful. But when I truly look back, I would do it all again. I wouldn’t change a thing, I don’t need a new me for 2026, I want more of what matters to me: I want more hugs, laughs, walks, hobbies, cities, music, cocktails, frivolity, art. I want more Jesus. I want more memories. I bet you want this too and I hope that you will be encouraged to DECiDE to decide what that will look like for you. Do it scared, Do it broke, Do it fat. Just DO the things and don’t let 2026 fade away without intention. This is how you #liveyourjoylife. Share with me- what you are deciding to do!
