The 20-Minute Year-End Reset That Stops January Chaos Before It Begins


Listen Later

If you’re trying to switch off but your mind won’t stop spinning, this episode is for you.

As the year winds down, many business owners slow their workload but never truly switch off. The problem isn’t effort. It’s unfinished mental loops that keep your nervous system on high alert, even when you’re meant to be resting.

In this episode, Leon and I break down why open loops drain your energy, steal your focus, and quietly sabotage your ability to reset for the year ahead. You’ll learn a simple, practical framework to clear mental clutter, park unfinished tasks without anxiety, and remove friction so January doesn’t feel chaotic before it even starts.

If you want to close your year with clarity, protect your energy, and return refreshed, focused, and ready to lead at a higher level in the New Year, this conversation is for you.
