Summary

For years, I thought New Year's resolutions would finally turn me into the “best version” of myself. Spoiler: they mostly left me discouraged, exhausted, and convinced I was already falling behind. So I stopped. And in this episode — my last before a long season away from the podcast — I’m sharing the simple New Year’s ritual I created instead. One that feels grounding, healing, spacious, and actually sustainable. Today we’re walking through: ✨ How to remember the story you lived this year ✨ What to release so you don’t carry old weight into a new season ✨ How to reset with intention — without pressure or perfectionism If resolutions haven’t been working for you (or haven’t felt kind)… this is an episode you don’t want to miss. To go deeper, grab my brand-new guided journal The Story of This Year — the complete version of this process with prompts and space to reflect: 👉 StephanieMayWilson.com/NewYear Since the podcast will be on hiatus for a while, the best place to stay connected is my email list: 👉 StephanieMayWilson.com/email Thank you for being here.

episode. It's actually our final episode of the season and I feel like I might cry actually,

0:17.3

my last one for a while. I'm going to be taking a break from Girls Night for a lot of next

year. And while I'm super grateful for the time to get to rest and reset and refill, I really am

0:29.3

teary at the thought of not getting to spend this time with you each week. I'm sitting here in my

favorite night as Girls Night sweatshirt, which I wear almost all the time. But I just, I'm sitting here in my favorite night as girls night sweatshirt, which I wear almost all the time.

0:38.6

But I just, I'm like going back through eight years of memories and the conversations we've had and the guests we've had.

And I'm just so grateful for this space and I'm so grateful that you guys have been here with me.

slash email, you're going to keep hearing from me. The best is absolutely yet to come.

for a little while,

1:32.6

I wanted to sit with you for a while and walk you through something that I do every single year,

1:38.9

something that has grounded me and centered me and healed me and given me more clarity than almost anything else.

1:41.7

A gentle practice for closing out a year.

1:47.0

A reset. A remembering. A releasing. a reorienting towards what matters most. And really quick, before we jump in, I want to tell you this because

I don't want you to miss it. I created a brand new guide called The Story of this year. And it
