How I Close Out My Year: Reflection, Meaning, and the Inner Work of Ending a Year Well
As the year draws to a close, I always feel a gentle invitation to slow down—to pause, reflect, and listen a little more closely.
In this episode, I’m sharing how I personally close out a year—the inner work I return to again and again as I transition from one season into the next. This isn’t about productivity, goal-setting, or rushing to reinvent your life before January arrives. It’s about honoring what has been, noticing what has changed, and creating space for what wants to emerge.
I reflect openly on this past year—one that held both profound grief and profound joy—and how those seemingly opposite experiences shaped me in unexpected ways. I talk about identity shifts, emotional capacity, creativity, and what it means to live a year that feels honest and whole, even when it isn’t tidy or balanced.
At the heart of this episode, I walk you through the first three movements of my end-of-year process—what I think of as inner movements rather than steps or tasks:
- Remembering — reflecting on what actually happened and what mattered
- Receiving — noticing what this year gave me, revealed to me, or grew in me
- Releasing — letting go of roles, expectations, timelines, and responsibilities that no longer belong
These movements help me honor the year that’s ending before I ever look ahead. They allow for integration instead of bypassing, truth instead of pressure, and meaning instead of momentum.
This episode is meant to be listened to slowly. You may want a notebook nearby. Or a quiet walk. Or simply a few uninterrupted moments to reflect alongside me.
In the next episode, part 2 of this reflection, I’ll share the fourth and final movement—reorienting—and how I gently turn toward a new year with intention, beauty, and care.
Until then, I hope this conversation gives you permission to close this year with honesty, compassion, and grace.
