Handmade Happiness: Finding Meaning in the Art of Making

S1 E14 Ending the Year Well: Reflection, Reset & Rhythms of Rest


Listen Later

As the year comes to a close, this episode of Handmade Happiness invites you to slow down and reflect—without pressure, resolutions, or hustle. Instead of rushing into the new year, we’re talking about how to end the year well through gentle evaluation, intentional reset, and rhythms of rest that support a more peaceful life.

In this episode, Thomas and Jessica Clark from The Lark Life share a calm, thoughtful approach to year-end reflection rooted in intentional living, seasonal rhythms, and grace. This conversation is for anyone feeling tired, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move into the new year without burning out.

In this episode, we explore:

  • How to reflect on the past year without self-criticism
  • Celebrating small wins and meaningful moments
  • Releasing what no longer fits your life or season
  • Why rest should be a rhythm, not a reward
  • Resetting gently instead of starting over
  • Creating margin before the new year begins

You don’t need a complete reset—you need space to breathe. This episode offers encouragement to pause, notice what matters most, and carry rest forward into the next season of life.

🌿 Perfect for listeners interested in:

  • intentional living
  • slow living
  • end-of-year reflection
  • rest and renewal
  • simple family rhythms
  • homesteading and handmade life
