As we wrap another incredible year of Say Again, this solo episode brings together the five most resonant lessons from 2025 — drawn from conversations across AI, attention, wellness, creativity, leadership, and the human condition.

We'll take a Quick Look at our Spotify wrapped and also explore 5 tips:

1. Using AI as a tool, not a crutch — how to stay sharp in the era of LLMs
2. Being mindful of what we consume and create
3. Why gratitude works and how to express it in a non-performative way
4. Reclaiming our attention spans and learning how to focus with some "be here now" strategising
5. Reading more and reading better — breaking out of algorithmic bubbles and rediscovering serendipity

Plus, a simple but powerful strategy to reduce ambient anxiety: set aside time to worry.

If this community has been part of your year, thank you. If you’re just joining us, welcome.

Wishing you a restful December and a mindful start to 2026! Let us know what lessons you're taking into 2026
