Description

As we close out 2025, this episode of Dream Business Dream Life is an invitation to pause, not to judge, rush, or criticise the year that’s passed, but to honour it.

In this reflective, grounding conversation, I walk you through how to review your year honestly, why reflection matters more than another strategy, and how to set intentions for 2026 that actually feel doable and aligned.

I also share my own journey...from building a seven-figure business that looked successful on the outside but cost me deeply on the inside and why I now believe that success without alignment isn’t success at all.

This episode isn’t about chasing bigger goals. It’s about creating a business that supports the life you actually want to live.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why reviewing your year matters more than setting new goals
• How to reflect on what actually worked in your business (not what “should” have worked)
• Identifying what drained you, what you’ve outgrown, and what no longer fits
• Growth beyond money: leadership, boundaries, trust, and energy
• How your business felt to live inside...not just how it looked
• Why intention is the missing link between growth and fulfilment
• How to choose a single, powerful intention for 2026
• Letting your intentions lead your goals (not the other way around)
• Creating sustainable growth without burnout, pressure, or proving

A powerful reminder as you move into 2026:

• 2025 doesn’t need fixing...it needs honouring
• 2026 doesn’t need forcing...it needs intention
• Your business should support your life, not consume it

Take this episode slowly. Journal with it. Let it meet you where you are.

And remember you don’t need to have all the answers yet. Clarity comes when you give yourself permission to pause.
