A Year of Growth, Lessons, and Looking Ahead | Episode 61

As the year comes to an end, reflection feels unavoidable.In this episode, we look back on a year that challenged and stretched us in ways we didn’t expect — personally, spiritually, physically, and professionally. We talk honestly about the lessons that shaped us, the moments that forced growth, and the decisions that changed everything.Laurence shares what learning stillness actually looked like — slowing reactions, letting go of control, and protecting joy when things didn’t go as planned. We also unpack the reality of getting (and staying) very lean, the trade-offs that come with it, and why discipline alone isn’t the full picture.Mackenzie reflects on a year of major change — deepening faith, leaving the corporate world, building the Unbreakable team and community, traveling, growing as a leader, and learning to step out of constant grind mode. We also talk about the importance of boundaries, health, sleep, and choosing what — and who — gets your energy.Our hope is that it encourages you to pause, reflect, and head into the new year with clarity and intention.Happy New Year — and thanks for being here. We love and appreciate you all.Connect With UsMackenzie:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fit_with_mackenzie/Twitter: https://x.com/smithhmackenzieLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/smithhmackenzie/Laurence:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bestlifedude/Twitter: https://x.com/bestlifedude
