Where did the year go?? In today’s episode (the last one of 2025!!) we’re doing a full creator reset routine to close out the year together. First, I’ll walk you through how to actually celebrate your wins (because you definitely had more than you remember!). Then we’ll reflect on the past twelve months with a year-end audit to figure out what worked, what didn’t, and where you want to go next. This will help you identify what was a good use of time, money and energy so you can replicate the successes in the new year. Finally, I’m sharing my go-to end-of-year creator checklist—from digital decluttering to updating your media kit to help you step into the new year feeling organized and inspired. I’m taking next week off for Christmas but will be back on Thursday, January 1st with a fun start of the year episode for you all!
