Ep 90: What 2025 Has Taught Me (So Far)

Season 3 · Ep 90

About this episode

Most people save their yearly reflection for December. I don’t. This year handed me a stack of lessons I didn’t see coming, the kind that make you stop, question things, and change the way you show up. I’m sharing my 10 biggest learnings of 2025 so far, as a performance coach and as a human.

Highlights:

• The few lessons that caught me completely off guard

• The patterns I couldn’t see until I slowed down

• The moments that changed me, personally and professionally

• What I’m doing differently because of it

The 10 lessons

1. Slowing down is a skill, not a treat

2. If it isn’t scheduled, it’s fantasy

3. Feedback stings, silence hurts more

4. My best coaching starts with better listening

5. Boundaries create energy, not distance

6. Simple plans beat perfect plans, every time

7. The story I tell myself needs regular edits

8. Laughter fixes more rooms than lectures

9. Courage is smaller, and more daily, than I thought

10. Progress is proof, not motivation
