As we wrap up 2025, we’re closing the year with something a little different. This episode is an honest and uplifting reflection on the year just gone. We look back at the moments that shaped us, the lessons that surprised us, and the themes that consistently showed up in our work with procurement professionals across the industry.

Whether your year felt full of progress, full of challenge, or a mix of both, this episode is designed to give you space to pause, notice the positives, and move into 2026 with intention.

We talk through:

• What we’re most proud of this year, both personally and professionally
• Why recognising your own progress matters more than you think
• A challenge for you: share your proudest moment with someone you trust
• What to let go of as you move into 2026
• The habits and patterns we’re leaving firmly in 2025
• How to think about energy, boundaries and sustainability in a demanding career
• What we want to do more of next year: joy, rest, connection and intentional growth
• Why community and support networks make all the difference during career pivots

We also share some candid reflections on running two growing businesses alongside the podcast, the partnership we’ve built, and the unexpected highs that have made this year such a rewarding one.

Thanks for joining us on this journey. We’re incredibly grateful for everyone who has listened, shared, commented or reached out. Here’s to a more joyful, supported and intentional 2026.
