E019 The Year I Found My Voice Again: Reflections from GA Wellness 

The Year I Found My Voice Again: Reflections from GA Wellness Have you ever come to the end of a year and realised how much you carried without noticing it at the time? In this week’s episode of The GA Wellness Podcast, presented by GA Wellness with Georgia Ann™, I share the personal story of how this year shaped me, the moments that grounded me and the experiences that helped me understand who I am as a woman, a mother and the creator behind GA Wellness. This is the most open and honest conversation I have had on the podcast so far. I talk about rebuilding after burnout and grief, the realities of survival seasons, the pressure of doing everything on your own and the small steps that brought me back to myself. You’ll also hear about the conversation with Nigel from Amplified Health NZ that reminded me of who I was outside of survival and why GA Wellness needed to exist. This episode will support you if your year felt full, heavy or emotionally stretched. You’ll learn simple ways to reflect on your own year, understand what your body has been holding and step into 2026 with more clarity and a plan that feels realistic for your life. 📋 What we covered: Why this year became a defining chapter for GA Wellness.Reaching breaking point and navigating burnout and griefMotherhood, identity and the weight of carrying everything alone.The role of storytelling, movement and lived experience in rebuilding.How grief, psychology and years of teaching shaped the GA Wellness approach.The moment movement and fitness regained meaning after loss.The conversation with Nigel that sparked clarity and direction.The science behind reflection and why your body responds to clarity.How GA Wellness came to life through small steps, resilience and purpose.A look back at Episode 011 and why the Mum Guilt episode mattered so deeply 🌟 Key takeaways: Reflection helps you understand what shaped your year.Small steps support you when life feels full.Lived experience has its own power and direction.Clarity comes from action, not pressure.You can rebuild even when seasons feel heavy. 🧰 Resources mentioned in this episode: Free Journal Prompt & Reflection: ✨Your Weekly Cuppa & Check-In #19 ☕2025 Reflection & Reset https://gawellness.myflodesk.com/holidayresetJoin Early Access: 💛 C.A.L.M Pathway Founders Circle - Opening Mid November 2025 https://gawellness.myflodesk.com/calmfounderscircleGet in Touch with Georgia Ann or suggest a podcast idea: 🌸 Contact Georgia Ann https://gawellness.myflodesk.com/contact1:1 Support Nervous System Reset: Book a curiosity chat https://calendly.com/garharidis/1-1-nervous-system-support-with-georgiaSubscribe for Podcast Emails: Join the “Cuppa & Check-In” List https://gawellness.myflodesk.com/lbuqngff28Follow on Instagram: @gawellness https://www.instagram.com/gawellness/ 🔁 Episodes referenced for deeper listening: E008 The Myth of Balance: Let’s Talk SeasonsE011 Mum Guilt Explained: Reframing Rest, Guilt and Self-Care for MumsE012 FOMO Detox for Mums: Spotting & Soothing the Fear of Missing OutE013 FOMO Detox for Mums: Meet JOMO - The Joy for Your Nervous SystemE014 FOMO Detox for Mums: Building Joyful Boundaries & Making JOMO Your New Normal ✍️ Cuppa & Check-In This week’s gentle prompts: → Learn: What did this year teach me about myself? → Try: What do I want to carry with me into 2026? → Become: What signs of growth can I see as I look back on my year?
