As the year wraps up, it’s tempting to jump straight into planning what’s next — without ever stopping to reflect on what just happened.

In this episode, we talk about why crafting a clear narrative for your year is one of the most powerful (and overlooked) tools for preventing burnout, building perspective, and entering the next season grounded instead of reactive.

We explore:

• Why high performers default to focusing on what didn’t go well
• How negativity bias distorts your view of the year
• The clinical parallel between helping patients make sense of their story — and doing the same for yourself
• Why even experienced CEOs struggle to give themselves credit
• Our one-sentence narrative for 2025, shaped by becoming a family of four while expanding our impact in pelvic health
• How reflection creates psychological closure and protects against burnout

We’ll walk you through a simple exercise to help you name your own one-sentence narrative for the year — before you start planning the next one.

If you’re feeling tired, behind, or like the year slipped by too fast, this episode is your invitation to pause, zoom out, and recognize what you’ve actually built.
