As the year comes to a close, this final episode of the Braving the Holidays series offers a gentler way to step into what’s next.

Host Dawn Bouillon, joined by Dottie Griffin and Ashley Woodard, invites you to pause at the doorway between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming—without pressure, resolutions, or fixing yourself.

Together, they reflect on:

1. Honoring what this year has held
2. Letting go of people-pleasing and shame
3. Learning to trust your body, your story, and your inner voice
4. Choosing alignment over approval
5. Becoming more of who you already are—gently

This conversation weaves personal reflection, healing insights, somatic grounding, and intention-setting into a safe, spacious moment for anyone navigating grief, growth, complicated family dynamics, or a quiet desire for something more aligned.

If the new year feels loud, heavy, or overwhelming, this episode is an invitation to slow down, choose yourself, and remember: you matter—and healing is allowed to be soft.

Happy New Year from Not That Girl Anymore.
