Episode Summary:
In this episode, I share about my absolute favorite yearly tradition to reflect on my life…the birthday letter. I love this ritual so much to help me intentionally move through my life. To reflect on what happened in the year prior and what’s important to focus on in the next year to move me closer towards the life vision I have for myself. Can’t wait to hear if you’re going to start this tradition too!
Areas we explore in this episode:
- How can we live in a way that we are celebrating each day
- The importance of taking time each year to reflect on all you’ve moved through
- Setting a vision for the upcoming year and what’s important for you to experience as well as growth areas to focus on
- Capturing YOU with a self-portrait to witness you at that specific time and place in your life
- Focusing on the becoming and being worthy of documenting and witnessing before you hit the “BIG” goals
Journaling prompts to help you get started:
Carve some space out in your calendar so you have time to reflect and vision without interruption. And as always make your space a VIBE!
What type of environment would you like to create for this new yearly ritual?
- What brought me joy in little and big ways this year?
- What challenged me?
- How did I choose to show up during this time for myself and others?
- How did I grow as a result of it?

- What would I love to experience in the upcoming year?
- What’s important about experiencing that now rather than later?
- How will the people in my life be positively impacted by me experiencing this?
