Episode Summary:

When it's the end of the year, it's that time to reflect back on your year and take stock of what the last 11+ months held… I love a good moment to record what happened, asking: "What did I learn? What made this year significant?" For me, that looked like writing out a list of 10 (which quickly became 15) of my top moments or wins from the year. And I'm sharing 7 of those in this week's podcast. Tune in to hear what's shaped me the most this year. If you need a touch of humanity in this AI-crazed, "bigger must always be better" world — let me be the one to give you the encouragement (and reality) you need to set new metrics for what the "best of" could look like for your life and business.

In this episode, I'm sharing:

• What I did to actually achieve margin and rest the first half of this year
• How I'm reviving my own brand story going into 2026
• What changes I made to my travel days to fill my heart and make traveling for work even better
• The ways stretching yourself can have a ripple effect (and what that's looked like for me this year)
