Summary

In this episode of The Melanie Mitro Show,I’m diving into something that feels especially important as we move into a new season of growth: getting clear on your intentions and your vision for your life. I talk about why it’s so necessary to slow down and give yourself space to reflect, before jumping into goals, plans, or “doing more.” Growth doesn’t start with action; it starts with awareness.

0:00.0	Welcome back, everybody. It is Melanie Mitro, the host of the Melanie Mitro show, and we're coming
0:06.7	down the home stretch of 2025. I don't know about you. But life is insane. It is crazy. It is busy.
0:14.2	It's my personal life is crazy, busy with the kids and sports and prepping for the holidays.
0:20.2	And work is busy, just trying to tie up all of the
0:23.6	loose ends as we go into the holiday season. My kids are about to be off for what feels like
0:32.4	forever. I think they have 16 days off this holiday season. So it's kind of wild. And this is about the time of year

1:03.4	I pull these two books off my shelf and I read them every single year. And if you've been a
1:09.6	listener of my podcast for many, many years, you know that every single December I read them every single year. And if you've been a listener of my podcast for many,

1:30.5	business. And I've also found a really good companion. There's a field guide that goes with the
1:37.2	12 week year. So it's a great workbook. If you want to do this with your team or you want to do
1:42.5	this just yourself and your significant other.
1:45.6	This is a great companion to the actual 12 week year book.
1:50.3	So this is the time of year where I just take a moment to begin to ask myself.
1:56.2	And even this morning before I recorded this podcast, my journal prompt for myself this morning was,
2:03.3	where do I want to be one year from now? What do I want my life to look like? And I love that
2:10.9	question. I love to ask myself that question. And I know for some of you, if you are not a big
