Episode Details

Maybe you started the year with big goals, a meaningful Word of the Year, and the best intentions, only to find yourself feeling like life has taken over. If that's you, this episode is your reminder that you don't have to wait until January for a fresh start.

In this episode of Anchored with Purpose, Melissa Wilkinson shares the simple mid-year practice that has transformed her own life: the Life Evaluation. Drawing inspiration from the Ignatian Examen and years of personal reflection, she explains how intentionally pausing to evaluate every area of your life can help you stop drifting, celebrate God's faithfulness, and move forward with renewed purpose.

Melissa also shares personal insights from her own mid-year Life Evaluation, including growth in her faith, family, health, and purpose, and introduces her new YouVersion Bible Plan, The Life Evaluation Reset, along with a free printable guide to help you prayerfully reflect on your own life.

Whether you've forgotten your goals, lost momentum, or simply need a fresh perspective, this episode will encourage you to pause, invite God into the process, and remember that it's never too late to reset.
