392: You’re Doing New Year’s Planning Wrong—Here’s What Actually Works

392: You’re Doing New Year’s Planning Wrong—Here’s What Actually Works

This isn’t another “set your goals for 2026” episode. This is the ritual I’ve done every single year for over a decade. It’s the very practice that helped me rebuild my life after heartbreak, divorce, and self-doubt… and guided me into joy, reinvention, and purpose.

In this solocast, I walk you through the exact year-end reflection and vision casting ritual I do — with myself and with my partner. If your soul feels full, exhausted, or like it needs permission to breathe… this one’s for you.

Let this ritual be your year-end exhale — and your bold new beginning.


What you'll get out of this episode… 

  • Why the holidays bring emotional overwhelm

  • What is a year-end ritual (and why it matters)

  • My step-by-step yearly audit 

  • How to vision-cast the life you actually want

  • Why this practice is more powerful than a vision board
