As we step into a new year, there’s often pressure to move straight into goal-setting, planning and “big energy” — without taking time to pause and reflect on what the year actually held.

In this solo episode, I’m sharing an honest reflection on my 2025: the moments that nourished me, one major low point that changed the pace of everything, the lessons I didn’t expect to learn, and the intentions I’m carrying forward into 2026.

This isn’t a strategy episode or a highlight reel. It’s a conversation about connection, ethical business, nervous system regulation, and what happens when we do too much doing and not enough being — something I know many birth and postpartum professionals will resonate with.

If you’re feeling tired, reflective, or unsure how you want to move into the new year, this episode offers space to slow down and take stock.

In This Episode, I Talk About:

• Why reflection matters more than rushing into goals
• What genuinely nourished me in 2025 — travel, creativity, community and strength
• Launching the Your Birth Biz membership and building meaningful visibility
• Navigating a major personal crisis when my husband was seriously injured
• What happens when business growth doesn’t match effort
• Hustle, nervous system dysregulation, and feeling disconnected from your work
• My honest reflections on over-relying on AI instead of my own thinking
• Why output doesn’t equal service — and visibility doesn’t equal connection
• Reconnecting with my body, mind and intuition
• My 2026 intention: connection is key
• Creating content as service, not obligation
• Why the podcast is becoming my primary way of supporting birth workers
