Summary

In this episode of Focus on This, Marissa and Ken dive into 10 thought-provoking questions to help you reflect on the past year and prepare for an intentional and successful 2025. From identifying what made you feel most like yourself to dreaming big for the future, these questions are designed to inspire clarity and action as you wrap up the year.


Whether you prefer journaling, a reflective date night, or a meaningful family conversation, these prompts will guide you toward a more focused, purposeful new year.


Key Takeaways

  1. Reflect on the Past to Celebrate and Learn. Looking back helps identify your wins, lessons, and what truly mattered most.
  2. Clarify What (and Who) Matters Most. Define the people, priorities, and activities that align with your values and energize you.
  3. Let Go and Make Room for Growth. Release habits, beliefs, or clutter that no longer serve you to create space for what’s next.
  4. Dream Boldly and Act Intentionally. Imagine your best year yet and take concrete steps to make it happen, guided by clarity and purpose.
