End-of-year reflection can be really helpful… and also weirdly loaded. So in this episode, we’re doing a 2025 retrospective with zero “new year, new you” energy—just a grounded look at what worked, what we learned, and what we’re carrying into 2026. We share our biggest wins, the lessons we’re still learning (hi, boundaries + scope creep), and the behind-the-scenes numbers from our year—like how many websites we collaborated on, how many hours we’ve logged for the podcast, and how many miles we traveled. If you want to wrap up the year feeling clearer, calmer, and more proud of yourself than you expected… this episode’s for you! Topics We Cover: Our biggest wins of 2025 (and why you shouldn’t skip reflecting on this!) Revenue growth, price increases, getting booked out early, and taking scary-but-worth-it steps outside your comfort zone. The lessons we’re taking into 2026 Why boundaries matter most during slow seasons, how streamlining your client experience reduces decision fatigue, and the constant battle with scope creep. Our gratitude lists for the year Travel, community, flexibility, family time, and the relationships that make entrepreneurship feel less lonely. Our 2025 by the numbers Websites we worked on together, hours spent on Zoom for the podcast, miles traveled, templates used, and repeat clients who came back for more. A gentle reminder about January You don’t have to “start over.” You can build on what worked—and leave the rest behind.
