Feeling overwhelmed by all the “new year, new you” messaging? Maybe you are feeling a slow start to the year (I get it, me too!). This episode will inspire you to embrace your own rhythm and focus on what truly matters. Happy New Year and welcome back to the Creative Minds, Brilliant Life podcast for Season 2! In this first episode of 2025, I’m reflecting on how we creatives navigate the New Year energy and sharing practical tools to step into 2025 with clarity and purpose. 

Join me as I reflect on lessons from 2024, dive into the power of intention, and explore how we can blend creativity, personal growth, and aligned action to manifest our dream lives.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

1. Season 2 Vision: Why this season might look and feel different—and how iteration is key to any creative journey.
2. Overcoming New Year Overload: My approach to navigating the overwhelming pressure of resolutions and goal-setting.
3. The Reflection Practice: A simple yet powerful 3-part exercise for wrapping up 2024 and stepping into 2025 with gratitude, clarity, and vision:
   • Desires: What do you want to call in?
   • Gratitudes: What are you thankful for?
   • Successes: What achievements can you celebrate?
4. The Power of an Intention Word: How my word of the year, “Allow,” found me—and why it’s shaping my year around flow and ease.
5. Manifestation Insights: The blend of magic and logic that fuels manifestation, plus actionable steps to bring your big-picture vision to life.

Inspiration from the Episode:

• “We manifest more and call in the things we want faster when we’re having fun.”
• “If time, money, and energy weren’t an issue, what would you create? That’s your answer to your big-picture vision.”
• “Allowing for flow doesn’t mean not taking action—it means being intentional, aligned, and open to inspiration.”

Action Steps for Your New Year:

1. Choose Your Intention Word: Reflect on a word or theme that resonates with your desired energy for 2025. (Let it find you!)
2. Close the Gap: Identify one aligned action you can take today to move closer to your big-picture vision.
3. Lean into Reflection: Use the 3-part exercise to ground yourself in gratitude and set the tone for the year ahead.
