    In this final episode of the year, I share my personal reflections on 2025 as a year of shedding, transformation, and recalibration, both personally and professionally. I open up about the evolution of my work, the growth of the podcast, hitting the global top ten percent, and the behind-the-scenes transformation of my leadership and training programs. Through this reflection, I explore why letting go of what no longer serves is often uncomfortable, yet necessary, for clarity, alignment, and expansion.


    Key Moments You Won't Want to Miss:

    • Why I believe there is gold in every experience, even the painful ones
    • How the theme of shedding shaped 2025 personally and professionally
    • What it took to evolve corporate facing leadership work into accessible programs for individuals
