Happy New Years!
I had thought about sending this out to you right at the cusp of the new year, but I chose my family over you. I also chose rest over you! And I hope that you would do the EXACT same thing! I've spent the past few days with my family and walking by the water with my dog - embracing the essence of the winter solstice! For the past decade, I have always sought out the waters edge. It truly is a sacred place for me.
This is a time of year where we need to seek and embrace the essence of the winter solstice! So as we step into 2025, I want us to take a moment to celebrate—we made it through another year! Whether 2024 was full of triumphs, challenges, or a mix of both, today marks a fresh chapter, a blank slate to recalibrate with your purpose, reignite your ambition and align with the life you truly want to lead. At the core of Thriving at Waters Edge, I believe that transformation begins with clarity. Without taking time to reflect on where you've been, its easy to roll into another year repeating strategies that no longer serve you.
This isn’t about resolutions or overly complicated planning systems (and you all know that I am the QUEEN of planning systems). It’s about realigning with your values, sharpening your focus, and taking deliberate steps to build momentum in areas that matter most.
To help you get started, I've created a simplified yet impactful 3-Part End-of-Year Review and New Year Kickoff Process. This guide is designed to help you cut through the noise, celebrate meaningful wins, and step into 2025 with clarity and confidence. Make sure to scroll to the end for an exclusive treat, just for you!
Part 1: Reflecting on 2024
Before we set intentions for 2025, let’s take a moment to honor the year that brought us here.
First: Take 15-20 min and review all of your photos in your phone from this year. This will trigger your memory about what happened this year. (If you are like me, you may start texting everyone your fave pics from the year, thus turning this into a day-long activity... LOL)
Second: Review your calendar and remind yourself what you did this year!
Third: Using the Circle of Life, score yourself on 1-10. 1 is nothing, 10 is exceptional.
What are the three most important areas of your life to elevate this year?
How can you bring more alignment to your actions, relationships, and habits?
Lastly: Release what no longer serves you
Which habits, beliefs, or commitments drained your energy in 2024?
Write them down and let them go, knowing you’re creating space for what truly matters in 2025.
Part 2: Realigning for 2025
Now that you’ve reflected, it’s time to realign.
The Resilient Ambition Framework (RAF)® is the foundation of my coaching programs, offering a powerful blueprint for growth. It centers around five pillars: Clarity, Resilience, Purpose, Alignment, and Adaptability, and guides you through the ten components critical for navigating change, building momentum, and sustaining success.
A few highlights to guide your realignment:
Clarify Your Vision: What does success look like for you in 2025? Be specific and bold.
What will you celebrate at the end of this year?
How do you want to feel as you reflect on the journey you’ve taken?
Write down your vision for 2025 in vivid detail. Include not just what you want to achieve but who you want to become along the way.
Build Resilient Mindsets: What beliefs will empower you to embrace challenges as opportunities?
Build Momentum with Small Wins: Big transformations begin with small, consistent actions:
What’s one bold step you can take this week to move closer to your vision?
Break your goals into 90-day increments to make them feel achievable and keep yourself motivated.
Commit to Non-Negotiable Growth: Growth doesn’t happen by accident—it’s a commitment. For example: dedicate non-negotiable learning time each week to focus on your personal and professional development. This could include:
reading a book aligned with your goals;
journaling to process your thoughts and track progress; or
enrolling in a course or participating in coaching (like the Ambition Unleashed Program) to stay accountable.
Align Your Actions: Take a moment to align your daily routines with your vision. Ask yourself:
Are your habits supporting or hindering your goals?
What can you let go of to make room for what truly matters?
Celebrate Progress Along the Way: Don’t wait until the end of the year to celebrate. Build in moments to acknowledge your wins—big or small—each week. Progress builds momentum, and momentum leads to lasting success.
By creating this clear roadmap, you’ll not only start the year strong but also maintain alignment and focus throughout 2025. Let this be your year of clarity, resilience, and thriving ambition.
Part 3: Thriving Throughout 2025
Once your vision is set and your intentions are clear, the key to success lies in how you show up daily. Thriving isn’t about perfection—it’s about consistency, focus, and adaptability.
Create a Thriving Schedule: Design your days to reflect your priorities.
Block out non-negotiable time for your top three focus areas (e.g., health, career, relationships).
Add time for reflection and recalibration, even if it’s just 15 minutes weekly.
Pro Tip: Make space for the unexpected. Resilience doesn’t mean avoiding challenges—it means navigating them with grace and flexibility.
Stay Connected to Your Why: Revisit your vision regularly to stay grounded in what truly matters.
Post your three guiding words somewhere visible (on your phone, a sticky note, or your desk).
Journal weekly: What actions aligned with your vision? What needs adjustment?
Surround Yourself with Support: Growth flourishes in the right environment.
Seek accountability partners who uplift and inspire you.
Invest in communities and programs that challenge you to grow, like the Ambition Unleashed Program (details below).
Celebrate and Adapt: Each step forward—no matter how small—is worth celebrating. Build rituals for acknowledging progress:
Write down three wins each week.
Reflect on what’s working and adapt where needed.
