    Rest, Reflection & Revenue: How to Review Your Year Like a Creator CEO

    Before the pressure to plan the next year kicks in, I want to invite you to pause.Not to quit.Not to fall behind.But to reflect. In this episode, I’m walking you through how I close every year as a creator and business owner using what I call the 3R Framework: Rest, Reflection, and Revenue.This isn’t about hustle or goal-setting.It’s about honoring what God already did, learning from what worked (and what didn’t), and preparing your spirit beforepreparing your strategy. This episode leans slower, softer, and more spiritual because clarity is born in stillness. In this episode, we talk about: ✅ Why rest is a strategic act, not a reward✅ How to reflect on your year without judgment or shame✅ The difference between revenue that drains you vs. revenue that aligns you✅ How faith grounds your year-end review✅ What to carry forward and what to release “Stillness isn’t stagnation. It’s strategy.” What did this year teach you about your flow, your priorities, and your peace?Sit with it. Write it down. Pray through it. Before you plan what’s next, honor what’s been. 🎧 Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or Substack Audio. This is a public episode.
