These solo episodes are always a little scary for me. It’s easy for me to sit down with someone else, ask the right questions, and help them open up — but being the one who’s fully seen is still a vulnerable place, even for someone who’s generally open.

This year was a big one for me, and I hope this reflection episode lands with you in a meaningful way. My biggest takeaway — and the thing I’m carrying with me — is this: I will always express my needs and desires clearly and confidently.

Love you all. Enjoy.
