At the end of a busy year, you’re probably feeling like you’ve been running on empty while pouring into everyone else. So in this reflective episode, I invite you to pause and look back on 2025 with honesty and compassion for yourself. Together, we address the exhaustion so many midlife women are carrying and create space for a much-needed reset after a full and demanding year. You’ll be guided through what truly worked in 2025, what you’re ready to release, and what you want to consciously carry forward as you turn the page. With a focus on discernment, alignment, and intention—hallmarks of the perimenopausal journey—this episode offers 12 powerful reflection questions to help you find clarity on all you’ve gone through this year. Tune in to honor how far you’ve come and step into 2026 with renewed confidence and purpose! IN THIS EPISODE Taking what I’ve learned in 2025 into the new year Discovering what you want to call on in 2026 The benefits of taking time for reflection activities How to make the most of a dedicated reflection time My 12 end-of-year reflection questions for your 2025 Highlighting what you would like to see more of in 2026 QUOTES“I feel like this is the season of slowing down or at least becoming a bit more discerning about what we're saying yes to and what we're saying no to.” “I want to invite you into an end-of-year reflection practice, not the kind that's overwhelming or guilt-inducing. Just real simple questions that help us reconnect with what worked, what didn't, and who we want to be, and who we need to be in the next year to come because without reflection, we are destined to repeat.” “May 2026 be your most vibrant, energized, and aligned year yet– may you get all the wins, or at least one, right?

0:07.4	26 with intention, alignment, and clarity.
0:10.4	This is your moment because no matter what this past year looked like, whether it was
0:15.6	full of wins, challenges, or unexpected pivots, you made it.
0:19.4	We are here.
0:20.6	We did it. Welcome back to the energized with
0:23.9	Dr. Marisa podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Marisa, and I'm here to help you rock your hormones,
