Hello, my love. Welcome back to the Busy Yet Pretty Podcast. I'm your host, Jaden Haley. If you are new here,

welcome to the show. We talk all about becoming the best version of you and ultimately becoming happy and living your dream life and of course all other things surrounding the color pink and self-care. But let's not waste any time and get straight into the episode. Today we're going to talk about all about how you should reflect on the year and let go. There are things that we just hold on to

that we need to let go this year and not move into the new year with these things. And I think

it's so important to reflect because we'll be able to figure out what do we want to keep

and bring into the new year coming up. And what do we want to leave in the past, whether that's

bad habits, relationships, whatever it is. And what do you want to leave in the past, whether that's bad habits,

relationships, whatever it is. That's for you to decide. My love, you did it. You did it. This year

year or what, why did it turn out to be like this this year? Regardless of what you're feeling,

everything works as it should and you have to put trust in that. Because one day you're going to

look back and think, wow, if that didn't happen in my life, it would have not brought me to this.

Everything is like a puzzle in your life. And your life is always determined on the choices you make and what you believe you deserve in life. Because when you know what you want and you will get what you deserve is when, you know, the world's going to have these little puzzle pieces and these roadblocks happen. And you're just going to figure out how to navigate them

and it's all going to make sense in the end it's going to make sense why you had to switch schools and

leave your best friend you know that school brought you to making you find a new city that you
