| 0:04.3 | I am our host, Pam Bukolsky. |
| 0:05.4 | I want to talk to you about my reflection process in 2024 and how you can ultimately leverage |
| 0:09.7 | what I discovered to unlock the best version of yourself in 2025. |
| 0:14.1 | So reflection is a habit that I've been implementing and intervening with for years. |
| 0:19.9 | You can imagine as a professional bodybuilder, every time I was done a show, |
| 0:22.6 | I would look back and go, where were my opportunities? |
