As the year starts to wind down, there’s usually a quieter moment that sneaks in. Not the highlight reel. Not the goals review. Just a pause where you ask yourself something a little more honest. Did this year feel more like mine? Not just busier. Not just productive. But more aligned. More intentional. More owned. For a lot of women, this year wasn’t about huge, dramatic change. It was subtler than that. It was realizing something doesn’t fit anymore. Catching yourself in patterns you’ve outgrown. Feeling that low-level discomfort that comes right before a shift. And that matters.That awareness isn’t failure. It’s the beginning of sovereignty. As we head into a new year, I’m less interested in what you accomplished and more curious about what you’re no longer willing to carry. So I’ll leave you with this question, not as pressure, but as permission: What are you ready to stop giving your time, energy, or attention to? You don’t have to answer out loud. You don’t have to have it all figured out. Sometimes just telling yourself the truth quietly is enough to change how you step into what comes next. Not everything new requires more effort. Sometimes it just asks for a different choice.
