Looking back to move forward
Next week we’re getting together in The WHM Club for our annual ‘Review & Renew’ session to reflect on our highlights and learnings from 2025, and start thinking about what we want to do, be or create in 2026.
As the year starts to wind down, it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle of wrapping up deadlines and preparing for the holidays. But taking a moment to reflect on the past year can be one of the most powerful tools for growth. It’s not just about celebrating your wins (though you should!) - it’s about learning from the challenges, realigning your priorities, and building the clarity you need for the year ahead.
Now is a good time to think about:
What went well this year? Why?
What were your biggest challenges? How did you navigate them?
What did you learn? And based on these learnings, what will do differently next year?
Try not to get caught up worrying or feeling guilty about the things that haven’t gone as well as you’d hoped this year. Take the opportunity to reset and refocus; carry on doing what’s already working and build from there in 2026.
There’s a great booklet a lot of us mums use over in The WHM Club, it’s called YearCompass. If you are up for some life reflection and planning over the holidays, you can read more about the booklet and download it (or opt for the digital version) for free here.
Happy year-end mulling!
