Summary
Whether you can't wait to end this year or you are just excited to keep the momentum you have going, this is the episode for you. The end of the year just so happens to be a "made up" time that you can truly reset and refocus. For some you don't want the next year to be like this past year. For others, you realize you just want to experience life and your relationship newly. Either way it comes down to a lot more than just setting new goals like most everyone talks about at the end of each year.
In this episode you will get the 5 questions you MUST reflect on and ask each other so you can complete this past year, and keep it from impacting your next year. Doing this as a couple is VITAL to not hitting bumps and road blocks a few months in. Once you establish this type of "blank slate" to work from, you will get the 5 ways to create what it is you desire together for the coming year.

| 0:34.8 | Well, that's exactly it. |
| 0:35.7 | I think it was even the first year we started dating. |
| 0:39.3 | I had started like vision boards before that. And so I liked the idea of creating that together |
