Summary
In this solo Year in Review episode, Ali shares an honest recap of 2025, including the wins, the messy parts, and why this year felt more like a quiet level-setting season than a highlight reel. She reflects on how Finding Mr. Height has evolved, what surprised her about self-employment, and what it looked like to grow “offline” while seeing online growth around her.
Ali also gets real about the hardest parts of 2025, from building confidence around consulting to navigating self-doubt and struggles. She closes with the biggest personal lessons from the year, how her perspective on partnership and routines has changed, and the intentions she’s calling in for 2026, plus a takeaway for anyone feeling behind heading into the new year.
In Updates, Ali reflects on her trip to Costa Rica plus a wild 48 hours of travel. Plus, we hear from Katy & Tony! From mismatched energy to reflecting on how communication styles can stall momentum and signal it’s time to walk away. The conversation ends on a hopeful note with new post-holiday dates, clearer standards, and reminders that feeling safe, seen, and energized matters more than chasing inconsistent effort.

| 0:00.0 | So that transition of being fully self-employed and learning what that meant and being surprised by things that I liked, things that I didn't like, things that were hard, I didn't expect to be hard, things that were easier than I expected. |
| 0:12.1 | And then personally, transitioning into settling into a relationship. |
| 0:32.3 | Yeah. Hello and welcome to other episode. I'm your host, Allie Jackson, and I am bringing you my positive and practical approach to dating, relationships, and a whole lot else about life. |
| 0:37.3 | From my personal experience, I am coming to you from San Diego. |
| 0:42.1 | I arrived at my mom's house a couple of nights ago. |
| 0:45.4 | Was a wild 48 hours of travel. |
| 0:49.7 | We left Costa Rica from our girls' trip, which was, by the way, absolutely incredible. I know I |
| 0:55.6 | updated on it a little bit in the last episode with my mom because we were on it at the time. |
| 1:00.4 | But just reflecting back, after every girl's trip that I do, I just reflect back at how special |
| 1:06.9 | the community is, the Finding Mr. Hyte travel community, also the Finding Mr. Hyte community, also the Finding Mr. High Community in general, |
| 1:12.6 | but especially the ones that I have been able to meet in person on these trips. |
| 1:17.7 | It has just been so special to bring these women together and to see the friendships just blossoming. |
| 1:26.2 | And I know that they are going to continue into the future |
| 1:28.9 | because they already have from my prior trips. Like on every trip, there is a new roommate pairing |
| 1:34.4 | that just absolutely hits it off and develops like a best friendship across this time six days. |
| 1:41.2 | It's crazy how it happens. And it's amazing. And even though this was a mother |
| 1:45.9 | daughter trip, we did have some solo travelers on it as well. So that was really cool to kind of |
| 1:50.1 | see that mingling in the group. And it just really hammers home for me how much bringing people |
| 1:58.4 | together is such a core tenet of what I want to do in my business. |
| 2:04.0 | Businesses, plural. |
| 2:06.0 | And just being in that social environment and fostering that community and all of the things |
