This week, we’re doing something a little different. Instead of our usual roundtable of laughs and cries each of us recorded a personal voice memo reflecting on our biggest lessons of 2025, the growth we didn’t expect, the curveballs we survived, the softness we’re learning to allow, and the boundaries we finally enforced.

In this episode, we share those voice notes with each other (and with you), and talk through what it means to walk into a new year with intention instead of pressure. We’re choosing meaning over perfection, presence over comparison, and honesty over performative resolutions.

• The surprising lessons 2025 handed us, the ones we didn’t see coming

• What we’re ready to release before the year ends

• How to honor the year we lived instead of rushing into the next

• How to walk into 2026 with clarity that comes from self-compassion, not hustle

We’re declaring December as our month of honoring the year behind us, not glossing over it, not sprinting to the next thing, but actually letting it land.
Because the truth is: you can’t fully step into a new season until you’ve acknowledged the one you just lived.

We hope this episode invites you to pause, breathe, and reflect on your own 2025 with honesty, humor, softness, and zero judgment. Think of this as your sign to record a voice memo to yourself, too.

Tag us in your December rituals and reflections, we LOVE seeing how you’re honoring your year.
