In this episode, I’m sharing my top 7 favorite things of 2025 — the purchases, practices, and little joys that have added the most value to my life this year.

Some were intentional splurges (hi, Facebook Marketplace sauna 🙌), and some were sweet surprises (like my Mother’s Day golf clubs that turned into a full-blown family hobby). I’m talking through all of it — the practical, the personal, and the fun.

Here’s what I cover:

My absolute best purchase of the year — and why it’s changed my wellness routine

The sports bras I’m obsessed with (because comfort matters)

How I fell back in love with running and what’s made it feel good again

Thrifted home decor wins + how I’m using Pinterest differently this year

A peek into how I’m using the Lose It app to track food with less pressure

Why the Horacio Printing Dream Planner is still my ride-or-die for staying intentional and grateful

I also share why I’m a big fan of setting goals quarter-by-quarter — and how this rhythm helps me stay in sync with what matters most in each season.
