Reflection is more than looking back—it’s about seeing clearly and aligning your steps with God’s purpose for your life. In this episode of Don't Hit Snooze: The Podcast, host Cachetta Chére takes you on a journey of honest self-assessment, celebrating wins, learning from what didn’t work, and preparing to walk boldly into the new year with clarity and intention.

Drawing from personal experiences and biblical truths, Cachetta unpacks the power of self-reflection as a discipline, not a luxury. It’s a tool to declutter your habits, mindset, and relationships—making room for God to guide your steps and bring fresh purpose into your next season.

Key points include:

• Why reflection is essential before setting new goals.
• The importance of celebrating your wins—big or small—and how gratitude fuels growth.
• Learning from what didn’t work without falling into guilt or shame.
• Inviting God into your self-reflection process for wisdom and direction.
• Practical steps to carry lessons forward and start the new year with intention.

Cachetta reminds us that reflection isn’t just about letting go of the old; it’s about moving forward with faith, clarity, and purpose. As Proverbs 16:9 says, “In their hearts, humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.”

Scripture Highlights:

• “Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.” (Psalm 139:23 NIV)
• “In all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” (Proverbs 3:6 NIV)
