Hi!!

I know I said you wouldn’t be hearing from me until 2025, but here I am—popping into your inbox one last time before the year ends. Over on Instagram, I shared some snapshots of my planning documents for the year ahead, and enough of you asked for a copy that I decided to send it out here. Because remember, as a subscriber and a member of my community, you always get my best stuff first.

​2024 Year End Review .pdf​

The PDF is simple: just a couple of pages designed to help you reflect on the last 12 months. It’s where I capture the highs and lows, the moments of growth, and the lessons learned. For me, this process is less about perfect categorization and more about creating space to acknowledge the year in its entirety—the good, the hard, and everything in between.

In January, I’ll dive deeper into forward planning (and I’ll share those tools with you when the time comes), but today—December 31st—isn’t about looking ahead. It’s about endings. It’s about honoring the cycles of our lives: releasing what no longer serves us, celebrating the moments and people that shaped us, and taking a breath to simply be.

Jesse and I are spending the day doing our year-end reviews. We work through the process individually first, then come together to compare notes. My favorite part? The “By the Numbers” page. Quantifying the year—what worked, what didn’t, and what felt meaningful—always reveals patterns I wouldn’t notice otherwise. Sharing that with a partner makes it even more interesting; it’s a great way to spark deeper conversations about what’s working and what might need to shift.

Reflection like this isn’t just a personal act—it’s also cultural. In a world that rewards constant motion and celebrates productivity above all else, taking the time to pause feels radical. It’s a reminder that we are more than what we produce, that our lives are shaped by what we pay attention to, and that there’s value in resting before rushing into what’s next.

If this resonates with you, hit reply and let me know how you’re marking the end of 2024. What’s your reflection process like? I’m catching up on emails (and if you’ve written in over the past month, you’ll hear back from me soon), so I’d love to hear how you’re closing out the year.

Thank you for being part of this community. Wishing you a restful and restorative end to 2024 and the clarity to step into 2025 with intention.
