We live in a culture that's always pushing us toward the next thing. But what if the most important move you can make right now is to pause and look back?

In this episode, I'm sharing the simple reflection practice I did with my family on New Year's Eve — the exact questions we used, what surprised me about how my kids showed up, and why I believe you can't really trust yourself moving forward if you haven't taken time to understand the season you just lived.

This one is for anyone who skipped the year-end reflection and is wondering where to begin.

What We Talk About In This Episode

• The family New Year's Eve retreat I organized — and why I was nervous to suggest it
• The exact reflection questions we used (feel free to steal them)
• Why looking back isn't about staying stuck in the past — it's how you create doorways forward
• How reflection helps you break old patterns, build self-trust, and live more presently
• Why true transformation happens in a series of small moments, not one big leap
