✨ Endings, Beginnings, and Everything In-Between | Reflecting on 2025 & Welcoming 2026 As 2025 comes to a close, many of us feel a mix of exhaustion, gratitude, and quiet hope. In this episode of Pulling Threads, host Leslie Mathews—therapist, coach, and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) teacher—dives deep into the emotions that surface at the end of a long year. We talk about what it means to release old versions of ourselves, honor the grief beneath “growth,” and find softer ways to begin again. If you’re tired of the “new year, new you” pressure and craving peace, reflection, and authenticity instead—this episode is for you. 🪶 In this episode: Why endings feel heavier this year (from a neuroscience & nervous-system lens) How astrology and human design mirror this collective shift Letting go of old identities & patterns that no longer fit The truth about “healing hustle” and toxic positivity Gentle reflection prompts to close your year with grace Why slowing down is the most radical form of self-care 💬 “You’re allowed to arrive slowly. You’re allowed to hope, even if it’s quiet.” 🌿 Connect with Leslie Mathews & The LooM Life: 🧵 Website: www.theloomlife.com 📸 Instagram (Coaching): @the.loom.life 💭 Instagram (Therapy): @loomlifetherapy 🎙️ Podcast: Pulling Threads on Apple Podcasts & Spotify 📹 YouTube: Pulling Threads Channel 📱 TikTok: @the.loom.life 📘 Facebook: The LooM Life
