How to Love Your Year (and Yourself)

How did your last year go? You didn’t just survive this past year—you grew, overcame, created, and loved.

But if you’re not remembering that, you’re missing the fuel that will drive the year to come.

In this episode, Justin Wenck, PhD, invites you to take a loving and honest look back at your year and discover just how much beauty, growth, and adventure you’ve lived through (even if you forgot most of it).

Whether you're heading into a new year or stuck in the middle of one, this episode will help you reconnect with your story, reclaim your wins, and remember how much progress you’ve made, even when it didn’t feel like it.

🌟 Key Points & Takeaways
