191: How Reflection Builds Clarity, Self-Trust & Sustainable Growth
Episode 191
Why Reflection Matters More Than Goals
As we close out 2025 and stand at the threshold of a new year, I wanted to pause — not to rush into goals, plans, or resolutions — but to reflect.
In this final episode of the year, I’m sharing a very real behind-the-scenes look at my own journey with goal setting, pressure, burnout, and self-trust. I talk openly about my desire to hit “100 episodes,” how pushing myself actually drained my energy, and the powerful realization that came through when I finally slowed down.
This episode is an invitation to step out of urgency and into truth. We explore why rushing to set goals is often a way to regulate anxiety, not create clarity and why reflection is the missing piece that allows wisdom, self-trust, and sustainable momentum to emerge.
If you’re feeling pressure to have everything figured out… if you’re questioning your direction… or if you simply know you need space before deciding what’s next — this conversation is for you.
