Description

It’s that time again. Today I’m kicking back with our wonderful producer team as we reflect on 2025–what we learned, what we’re leaving behind, and dive into what it looks like to balance rest during the holiday season.  As the year comes to a close, I encourage you to check in with your own circle to reflect on your year. What moments stuck with you? What was your biggest lesson? How much did you actually rest? It’s important to pause, check in, and remember that after a long year, a recharge is necessary.
