I’m sharing my FULL yearly reflection ritual: ✨ The questions I ask myself every December ✨ How I choose my “word of the year” and why it changes everything ✨ The letter I write to myself every New Year’s Eve (that always ends up coming true 👀) ✨ What 2025 taught me about growth, patience, identity, and building a life I love ✨ How YOU can use reflection, intention-setting, and alignment to make 2026 your most grounded and exciting year yet Think of this episode as a warm chat with a friend: part manifestation, part mindset, part life update, and part motivation to step into your next chapter Whether you’re feeling reflective, excited, unsure, or ready for a fresh start… this episode will help you reset, realign, and step into 2026 with clarity and confidence. Main Topics: • My favourite reflection prompts & journaling questions • My yearly traditions: word of the year + letter to my future self • What went well this year, what didn’t, and what I learned • How to get intentional about the year ahead • Why most of my “future letters” end up manifesting 🎧 Listen now and grab your cuppa. 🔔 don’t forget to like, subscribe & hit the bell for new episodes every Monday at 11am! subscribe to the podcast on: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | wherever you get your podcasts 🎧 📱 come say hi on TikTok & Insta: @thehomestretchpod work with me 💌 [email protected] DISCLAIMER: Everything discussed in this podcast is based on personal experiences and is for informational and entertainment purposes only.
