In the final episode of 2025, Dr. S emphasizes the importance of reflection and integration as the year comes to a close. Instead of rushing into new beginnings and resolutions, Dr. S encourages listeners to reflect on the past year, recognizing achievements and challenges. The podcast discusses the physiology of closure, the impact of traditional goal setting on stress, and offers a guided practice for end-of-year integration. The episode concludes with a ritual for internal reflection and an invitation to choose regulation over resolution for a healthier start to the new year.
