Every year between Boxing Day and New Year’s, I take a quiet afternoon to look back on the year behind me and gently look ahead to what’s next.

For years, I did this by setting goals across a few simple categories — faith, family, health, friendships, and personal growth. Nothing fancy or overwhelming… just intentional rhythms for the season of motherhood I was in.

Last year, I decided to try something new.

Instead of a traditional goal list, I created a 2025 Bingo Card — 25 simple, meaningful things I hoped to do, experience, or grow in throughout the year. Some were practical, some were fun, some were deeply personal… and one square mattered more than all the others.

In this episode, I’m walking you through my bingo card in real time — sharing what I accomplished, what surprised me (hello, starting a podcast), what didn’t happen, and what I’m carrying forward into the next year.

We’ll talk about:
• Simple, realistic goal-setting for busy moms
• Unexpected wins and missed squares (and why both matter)
• Health, faith, family, friendships, and creativity in real life
• Letting go of perfection and choosing grace instead
• Why reflection is just as important as planning

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by goal-setting or like New Year’s resolutions just aren’t for you anymore, this episode is a gentle reminder that growth can be slow, imperfect, and still incredibly meaningful.

I’ll be taking a short break while the kids are home for the holidays, and I’ll be back in January with some really fun and practical episodes to kick off the new year.

Thanks for being here — and for walking this season with me.
