Feeling a bit uncomfortable with all those year-in-review posts showing up everywhere, filled with impressive numbers and massive launches? I totally get it.

I'll walk you through specific questions for each area that will help you reflect in a way that feels authentic to who you are as a creative.If you're ready to review your year in a way that celebrates all kinds of progress – not just the numbers – then this episode is gonna help you do just that.To help you go-deeper, I've got something special for you: a free Notion workbook to guide you through this reflection process.
