As 2025 comes to a close, Dr. Stefanie Ascher reflects on a year marked by healing, growth, and profound transformation. In this powerful solo episode of Evolve Your Life, she shares what it means to celebrate two years cancer-free while still holding space for grief, growth, and surrender.

This episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and honor the version of yourself that carried you through the year, even when the path felt uncomfortable or uncertain.

• How gratitude and grief can coexist during seasons of healing

• What rebuilding trust with your body really looks like after illness

• The personal and spiritual lessons that shaped her year

• Why letting go of past identities is essential for growth

• How trusting God's timing opened doors she never could have planned

Reaching the milestone of being two years cancer-free wasn't just a physical victory — it was an emotional and spiritual one. Dr. Stefanie opens up about learning to trust her body again, listening to its wisdom, and releasing the fear that once defined her relationship with health.

This season taught her that healing isn't linear, and that gratitude doesn't erase grief, but instead allows both to exist side by side.

2025 was also filled with meaningful family moments, including unforgettable trips and everyday memories that reminded Dr. Stefanie what truly matters. These experiences reinforced the importance of slowing down, being present, and savoring the small moments that often become the most significant.

One of the biggest lessons of the year was learning to release outdated versions of herself, identities rooted in survival rather than alignment. Dr. Stefanie reflects on how growth often requires discomfort, surrender, and the courage to let go before clarity arrives.

This chapter wasn't about becoming someone new, it was about returning to who she was always meant to be.

Professionally, 2025 brought expansion and alignment. Dr. Stefanie shares highlights from growing her business, expanding her team, and joining powerful communities like The Wealthy Practitioner, spaces that supported both her leadership and personal evolution.

Rather than hustling for success, she leaned into trust, clarity, and values-driven growth.

At the heart of this episode is a reminder that not everything unfolds on our timeline — and that's often a gift. Dr. Stefanie speaks candidly about trusting God's timing, especially when the next step wasn't clear, and how faith carried her through uncertainty into deeper peace.

As the year comes to a close, Dr. Stefanie encourages listeners to reflect intentionally:

• What did this year teach you?

• What version of yourself are you ready to release?

• What are you carrying forward with gratitude?

This episode is both a reflection and a reset, reminding you that growth deserves to be honored, even when it didn't look the way you expected.

Whether 2025 was a year of healing, growth, challenge, or all three, this episode will meet you right where you are and gently invite you to step into what's next with faith, gratitude, and trust.
