Ep. 168: How I’m Closing Out 2025, and Intentionally Setting Up for a Big 2026

In this week's episode Lauren shares her personal process for evaluating the previous 12 months (of business and life), and how she uses those insights to set goals and plan next-steps for the year ahead.

This episode will give you the framework you need to be honest and clear-headed about 2025, and how to use that knowledge to go into 2026 with both excitement, and clarity.

Essential Questions for a Big 2026:

  1. What went well in 2025? What were the highlights? (04:00).
  2. What do you want to do less of in 2026? (06:00).
  3. What goals do you want to achieve in 2026? "Goals shape your schedule." (07:45).
  4. Rip the band-aid off and make the changes. "You're the architect of your reality." (12:30).
