Happy New Year! I’m taking a moment to look back at the last six months of 2025—what’s worked, what hasn’t, and what the numbers tell me about the year so far. I reflect on the journey I’ve been on, the adventures, the challenges, and the mindset shifts that have shaped my life.
I talk about working in longer blocks, thinking in decades not years, and the balance between pushing hard and giving myself space to rest. I share what I’m learning about consistency, structure, and getting intentional with my time, energy, and goals.
I also get real about needing magic, wanting change, and how to show up even when life throws curveballs. If you’re looking for a little reflection, motivation, and some Tough Girl honesty, this episode is for you.
Thank you for all your support! Love Sarah x
