Summary
In this episode of Balanced Black Girl Podcast, I’m guiding you through a year-end reflection exercise to acknowledge our greatest lessons of 2020, and begin calling in where we want to go in 2021.
As we get ready for next year and reflect on this year, I want you to think about where you were this time last year and I want you to think about where you are right now. We have had a trying, difficult, and traumatizing year. We have all grown in ways that we may not even understand. In order to uncover how much we have grown, we need to understand where we have been. So when you’re thinking about who you are in this moment and who you were 365 days ago, your outlook, your priorities, your sense of resilience, your belief in yourself. What has changed? What lessons have you learned along the way?
In this episode, I talk about:
- Year-end reflection to acknowledge our greatest lessons of 2020
- How to begin to call in where we want to go in 2021
- Uncovering who you are at this moment and who you were 365 days ago
- Navigating how much we've grown by first understanding where we have been
Guided reflection questions to ask yourself:
- My biggest lesson of 2020 was…
- My greatest blessing of 2020 was…
- This is who I’ve grown…
- I’m proud of myself for…
- I’m calling in…

| 0:27.0 | Thank you for tuning into this week's episode of Balance Black Girl |
| 0:32.0 | Podcast. My name is Les. I am your host and I am so |
| 0:36.2 | happy to be sharing this space with you today. Because it's the last episode of the year, you just got me in a solo and we have some |
| 0:46.8 | incredible interviews coming for you in 2021. I've already started recording in 2021 |
| 0:52.1 | and have had some amazing conversations that I can't |
| 0:56.0 | wait to share with you. But today, with it being our last episode of 2020, I thought that it would be fitting for us to get together and to do a bit of |
| 1:08.6 | year-end reflection so if you're not driving if you're at home if you're not driving, if you're at home, if you're in a place where you can be still, maybe have a pen, a piece of paper, your favorite journal, or a note-taking app open so that we can reflect on the year |
| 1:25.8 | together and so that we can call in what we want to call in for 2021 together. I have to say I'm very excited to do this today because the day that |
| 1:38.0 | I'm recording this was a little stressful. I've had kind of a dramatic day today. My Instagram account, my main |
| 1:47.5 | Instagram account got deactivated today for no real reason. Instagram just took it down. |
| 1:54.0 | I had to spend most of the day |
| 1:56.0 | figuring out how to get it back |
| 1:58.0 | which was a little bit stressful |
| 2:00.0 | but taught me a very very valuable lesson. |
| 2:05.0 | In the grand scheme of things, having an Instagram account be active or visible |
| 2:10.0 | is not that big of a deal. |
| 2:12.0 | In fact, from an emotional standpoint it's something that isn't really that important to me |
