Protect the Feeling: The Camera Roll Exercise for Real End-of-Year Clarity


Listen Later

Before we step into the rush of December — the events, expectations, emotions, and everything extra — this episode invites you to slow down and take a breath.

Today, Andrea walks you through one of the most clarity-creating exercises she uses with clients and inside her Circle groups: choosing a feeling you want to protect and then using your camera roll or calendar as a truth-telling inventory to understand what supports that feeling… and what drains it.

This isn’t about resolutions, reinventions, or “new year, new me.”

It’s about recognizing a feeling that already lives in you — even if it shows up inconsistently — and learning how to protect it as you move into your next chapter.

Inside this episode, Andrea shares:

  • Why choosing one anchor feeling is far more powerful than setting a dozen goals

  • How your camera roll and calendar reveal the real story of your year

  • The three buckets that help you see your wins, your drains, and your clues

  • How patterns point directly to what needs to be protected, released, or re-aligned

  • Why boundaries hide in your calendar

  • How Andrea’s own year — including breast cancer, recovery, healing, recalibration — led her to choose strength as her feeling to protect

    This episode is part grounding, part practical exercise, and part invitation to choose differently before January arrives.
