Breaking Up with 2025 - A process to end the year with power

In this end-of-year episode of Breakup Pep Talks, Sarah guides listeners through a powerful reflection ritual to consciously close out 2025 and prepare for 2026 with clarity and self-trust. Using Terri Cole’s framework, she challenges the belief that a hard year is an empty year and teaches how to separate the gold (growth, resilience, lessons) from the crap (patterns, roles, and stories that no longer serve). Instead of defaulting to resolutions, Sarah invites listeners to look honestly at peak experiences, personal strengths, and unconscious patterns that shaped the year. The episode emphasizes making intentional meaning from heartbreak, failure, and struggle—so those experiences become fuel rather than baggage. Listeners are guided to “break up” with 2025 cleanly and step into 2026 focused on how they want to feel, not who they’re trying to fix.Share with Sarah your thoughts on Instagram @sarahcurnoles
