Reflection, Winter, and a New Year

Jan 15

Season 2 of Unapologetically Yours is here, and I’m SO excited to share this journey with you!

Starting this new season at the start of 2025 feels like such a big moment because 2024 was truly transformative—a year full of growth, challenges, and realignment. So much of what I learned last year has shaped who I am today and what I’m bringing to the podcast this season.

In this first episode, I’m reflecting back on the lessons I’ve learned in 2024 and the little shifts that helped me realign with what really matters. It wasn’t about huge changes (although there were plenty of those, too!)—it was about those small, intentional choices that slowly but surely brought me back to myself.

This year, I’m leaning even more into living in alignment. It’s about creating a life that reflects my values and passions, instead of following a path someone else designed for me. And while that’s easier said than done, I’ve found tools that make the process a little less overwhelming—like breathwork and gateless writing, which I discuss in this episode. These practices have been incredibly grounding and have helped me reconnect with myself in ways I never expected, and I hope they’ll do the same for you!

As we step into 2025, I want to encourage you to take a moment and reflect: What do you want to leave behind? What do you want to create space for? And how can you start—imperfectly—on the path that feels most authentic to you? Because here’s the thing:

“We have a responsibility to stop and ask ourselves if we’re on a path that is truly ours—not the path someone else designed for us.”

— Ashley Logan

Here’s what we’ll cover in this episode:

How reflecting on the past can help you start fresh
Tools like breathwork and writing that have grounded me during tough times
Why honoring endings creates space for new opportunities
The importance of community and surrounding yourself with the right people
How even the smallest shifts can lead to big changes
How to set powerful intentions for the year ahead

Some key takeaways from the episode:

Reflection creates clarity. Looking back on where you’ve been isn’t just a way to honor the past—it’s how you decide what to carry forward and what to leave behind as you move into 2025.
Alignment is everything. Living unapologetically means creating a life that feels right for you, not the one someone else expects you to follow.
Start, even if it’s messy. Waiting for the perfect moment only holds you back. Growth happens when you take that first imperfect step and figure it out along the way.
The right people matter. Surround yourself with a community that lifts you up, mirrors your strengths, and supports your growth. Connection is key.
Set your intentions. Tools like reflection workbooks and intentional goal-setting can help you focus on what truly matters and step into the new year with purpose.

If you’re ready to start 2025 with intention, I hope this episode inspires you. It’s all about reflection, growth, and unapologetically choosing what’s right for you.
