Reflexivity, Reflection, and the Year Ahead

Happy New Year, everyone 🎉I hope the year ahead brings moments of steadiness, growth, and care for you, both personally and professionally.

As we begin this new year together, I’d love to open a conversation about reflexivity and reflective practice.

So much of our work asks us not just to do, but to pause, notice, question, and reflect. Reflexivity invites us to consider how our values, identities, experiences, power, and context shape the way we show up in practice. Reflective practice gives us space to learn from what’s working, what feels uncomfortable, and what we might want to do differently as we move forward.

As you step into this year, I’m curious:

How do you see reflexivity or reflective practice shaping your work in the coming year?

What makes it difficult to slow down and reflect in your current role or setting?

What obstacles get in the way (time, systems, expectations, emotional load, or something else)?

How can we support one another here to move past those barriers?

This is a space to think out loud, share honestly, and learn together. Whether you post a few words or a longer reflection, your voice is welcome.

Looking forward to learning alongside you this year.
