Welcome to the first episode of How Did You Do It? in 2025! This year has already brought a whirlwind of change, and from conversations I've had, so many of us are sitting in transition, grappling with loss, uncertainty, and fear of the unknown.

In this episode, I explore how to navigate your hardest moments with compassion. We talk about slowing down your "Merry-Go-Round", staying connected to your heart despite challenges, and finding the type of support you need.

I also dive into vision boarding—not as a wish list, but as a way to cultivate the feelings and experiences that we want to embody this year.

If you're feeling lost, overwhelmed, or in need of grounding, this one's for you. And if you need someone to talk to, I've included support numbers in the description—you are not alone.
