Welcome to the last episode of 2025. Instead of forcing goals or rushing a fresh start, we do something softer and more realistic: a homestead reset. We walk through three simple categories — keep, release, pause — to clear space in your mind, your home, and your heart before the new year begins.

In this episode:
• why resets feel better than resolutions
• how tiny habits and “showing up” actually built your year
• what worked for you in 2025 (hint: more than you think)
• how releasing expectations makes room to breathe
• pausing without quitting
• why January is a recovery month for moms
• how journaling keeps you honest about your growth

Simple reflection invitation:
Write down 3 things you’ll keep, 3 you’ll release, and 3 you’ll pause as you move into 2026.
That tiny list is a reset. It’s space. It’s permission.

Reminder:
The Joyfully Prepared New Year begins February 1st.
January is for recovery, naps, leftovers, and slower days.
