As 2025 draws to a close, have you taken time to honour the year you’ve lived? Have you contemplated every twist, turn, detour, triumph, and loss? In these times, it’s important to slow down, take a breath, and reflect on the path you’ve walked the past 11 months. The aim is not to judge or tally your progress, but instead to acknowledge your growth, however big or small.

In today's solo episode, I walk us through the key stages of the Hero’s Journey and invite you to apply your own experience and perspective to each of these stages. I share my own call to adventure this year and the major life events that almost drowned out that call. I hope by sharing my personal story of loss, grief, resilience, focus, and transformation, I offer you room to reflect, and perhaps relate, to your own stories, in your own way.

Tune in and listen to the thirty-fourth episode of I Can Do This, Show Me How! to close out your year with intention, reflection, and gratitude.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The importance of a powerful moment of pause and reflection at the end of the year (0:10)
• How grief, loss, and life transitions can slow us down, and how to honour these feelings (5:34)
• What climbing a mountain in Tibet taught me about focus, courage, and capability (11:46)
• How perfectionism became a major test on my journey this year (20:43)
• How to integrate what you’ve learned this year into the new year with intention (37:26)
