Best Of 2025: Lessons, Highlights, and What This Season Taught Us

In this season wrap-up and “best of” episode of The Tried and Truth Podcast, we reflect on the most meaningful conversations from the past few months, lessons, and themes that shaped this season. From awareness and intentional living to vulnerability, community, dreams reborn and pursued, and anchored hope, this episode brings together the wisdom that stayed with us long after we listened.

This wrap-up episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and step into what’s next, starting right where you are. You'll hear takeaways such as:

• Why awareness changes everything—and how you can’t change what you don’t notice
• How comparison quietly kills momentum and why simple can be sacred
• The power of tiny tweaks over big life overhauls
• Why healing, growth, and faith don’t happen in isolation
• What it looks like to hold onto dreams and callings—especially when progress feels slow, the path isn’t clear, or the work requires courage, faith, and small, unseen steps.
• The difference between boundaries and walls—and how to protect your heart without closing it
• How vulnerability creates deeper connection and meaningful community
• Why your past may shape you, but it does not define your story
• What it looks like to choose hope—even in uncertain or “hopeful-ish” seasons

As you move into this new season, ask yourself: What is one small, hope-filled step I can take next towards greater intention, pursuing my dreams, growing personally and professionally, living more anchored in what matters most?
