In today’s episode, we unravel the intricate threads of our lives, using self-reflection as a powerful tool to untangle recurring patterns and pave the way for positive change.

I will guide you through various exercises designed to deepen our understanding of the past year. We’ll visualize the highs and lows, triumphs and challenges, and take note of the invaluable lessons learned along the way. Through this process, we’ll discover the remarkable capacity for growth that lies within us.

Throughout the episode, I emphasize the need for self-compassion. Let’s liberate ourselves from the harsh judgments that often accompany introspection and instead embrace a gentler, more understanding perspective. By detaching from the weight of our experiences, we create space for personal evolution and resilience.
