This episode was originally recorded at the start of 2024, and I'm re-sharing it here because its message remains deeply relevant as we move out of the Christmas season and into a new calendar year. If you want to begin the year grounded, peaceful, and spiritually attuned — without rushing past the graces of the holidays — this episode is your reset.

In this reflection, I walk you through four practices that shape my year emotionally, spiritually, and practically:

You'll hear:
• how to live liturgically (and let the Church — not hustle culture — set the rhythm)
• how to clear what's blocking your peace as you enter the new year
• how to discern a guiding word or phrase through prayer
• how to ask God for the "one thing" He wants you to face — the question that has shaped every major turning point in my life

This episode brings the mini-series full circle: from tender holidays → inner healing → gratitude → intentional new beginnings — reminding you that God's timing isn't bound by a calendar year.

Most people wait until January to reflect — and then wonder why they feel rushed or behind before the year even begins. In this solo episode, I walk you through how to close out your year early so you enter January supported, peaceful, and spiritually grounded.

You'll learn:

• the "fiscal year" mindset that changed how I plan

• how to build a rhythm of reflection that reveals God's grace

• the video divina practice that opened me to awe and possibility

• guided journal questions to help you see how God moved in you this year

I originally recorded this episode heading into late fall, so releasing it now is intentional — it gives you the perfect pause between Christmas and the new year to reconnect with gratitude and clarity.

If you've ever walked into a holiday week carrying a mix of gratitude, grief, old wounds, big emotions, or the pressure to hold everything together, this episode will feel like a steadying breath. I'm sharing a simple idea from The Gap and the Gain that arrived at exactly the right moment—plus how it unexpectedly connected back to Episode #20 of this podcast, where I talked about taking an inventory of grace. Together, these two frameworks help you see your life with clearer eyes and move through the complexities of the season with more calm, compassion, and groundedness. Whether you're navigating family dynamics, emotional waves, or simply trying to stay centered this week, this conversation is for you.

If you've ever found yourself rushing a relationship, confusing intensity with intimacy, or trying to make something "work" through sheer effort, this episode will feel like a deep exhale. We're exploring what healthy foundations in love actually look like, why certain relationships collapse under their own weight, and how the Four Loves described by C.S. Lewis reveal the missing pieces many of us overlook. Whether you're dating again, discerning your next chapter, or healing from the past, this conversation offers a fresh, freeing perspective on what changes when you stop forcing love and start paying attention to what truly makes a relationship last.

There's a kind of boundary that doesn't require a raised voice or a long explanation — it's the quiet no that changes everything. In this episode, we explore what it looks like to step back, regroup, and let the line you've drawn do its work.

Through the story of a woman learning to pause instead of react, you'll hear how old patterns can hijack your peace — and how to reclaim it by shifting from soldier to sentinel to queen. We'll look at what it means to live soft and steadfastinside your boundaries, drawing wisdom from Mary's steadfast posture at the foot of the Cross.

If you've ever wondered how to protect your peace without hardening your heart, this episode will help you find your footing — calm, clear, and quietly strong. 🌿

We all carry the quiet pressure to get it right — in our faith, in our relationships, in the way we show up every day. And when we fall short, it can feel like failure is permanent, like we're defined by our mistakes. But what if holiness isn't about perfection at all? In this episode, we explore a new way of living faithful and free — one where grace meets us in the mess, mistakes become opportunities for repair, and small, humble acts of presence transform our lives. If you've ever felt weighed down by the need to be perfect, this conversation is an invitation to discover a different path: one where faithfulness, not flawlessness, is enough.
