Before You Plan Next Year: My Favorite Reflection Rituals to End the Year with Clarity, Calm, and Confidence | Ep. 259

In this episode, I share simple journaling prompts, mindset shifts, and rituals that help pause, look back, and carry forward what truly matters. You’ll hear how I approach year-end reflection with curiosity instead of pressure, how I use tools like A Sense of Possibilities Planner and Moxie Life’s Dream Workbook, and how I create calm before the chaos of planning season.

As we move into November, I always find myself craving a deep pause. Before I start planning, I love to sit with my journal, reflect on the lessons of the past year, and soak in the moments that made it special. This episode isn’t about fixing what’s wrong, but about honoring what went right and making space for what matters most.

I’ll walk you through my own reflection process — from my messy, beautiful journaling practice to the tools I’m using this year. You’ll hear how I use prompts to remember my best memories, release what’s not working, and find clarity about what to carry forward.

So grab your notebook, your favorite drink, and join me in this reflective space. Together, we’ll slow down, celebrate how far you’ve come, and open the door to a year ahead filled with intention, courage, and calm.

✨ Topics include: year-end reflection, journaling for clarity, goal setting, mindful planning, self-reflection prompts, creating calm before the holidays, and preparing for 2026 with confidence.
