“Want to Start the New Year with Purpose? It Begins with How You Finish This One”

As the year winds down, it’s easy to focus on what didn’t get done. But what if you could finish with peace — and start the new year with purpose?

In this episode of the Get Unhooked Podcast, Jason Coombs shares a powerful, faith-fueled reflection and goal-setting process to help you get honest without shame, celebrate victories no one else saw, and partner with God to co-create a life that truly aligns.

Whether you’re in recovery or supporting someone who is, this 5-step framework will help you reflect with grace and move forward with clarity, calm, and conviction.

  • A faith-first approach to setting meaningful goals
  • How to use the “rocks vs. gravel” principle to prioritize what matters
  • Why Seemingly Unimportant Decisions (SUDs) are anything but
