New Year Ins & Outs: What’s Hot & What’s Not

Every year, most people talk about starting fresh when the new year rolls around. We often hear the famous quote “new year, new me”. In our opinion, there is nothing wrong with starting fresh. We may not be able to erase the past, but we can definitely learn from it and move forward. It is a chance to make changes and start a different chapter of our lives. Evy and I want to take a moment to talk about what we want to bring into the new year and what we want to leave behind in 2024.

During the last week of December, I take the time to deep clean everything, clean out closets, and reorganize everything. I like to start the new year in a fresh and clean state. I enjoy sitting and going over my goals from 2024 to see what I accomplished and what goals I want to take with me into 2025. This is important because it’s always great to know and manifest what you are working towards. 

I am leaving all negativity in 2024! I have been maintaining a positive and healthy lifestyle, and I want to keep it going through 2025. I have done a better job at prioritizing those who prioritize me and I plan to do the same in this new year. I am excited to take with me into 2025 all the lessons I have learned the past year. The past year holds many memories and many times when I learned valuable lessons that I feel will help me in one way or another.

 I want to travel more this year and hope to learn more about the world. I want to continue growing in my career and make choices that benefit my future. As far as our podcast, I hope to see it grow and that our viewers and listeners can take something from it. When it comes to “preparing” for a new year, it’s important to do what makes you happy because everyone has a different way of ringing in the new year.

Hi Friends! A new year means fresh energy, fresh intentions, and the perfect opportunity to reassess what’s working and what’s not. This year, I’m setting clear goals for myself in areas like personal growth, career, travel, finances, and our podcast. Here’s a breakdown of what’s in and what’s out for me in 2025!

🌟 Personal Growth

IN:

• Embracing small, consistent habits (like journaling and meditation) for long-term progress.

• Practicing gratitude daily to stay present and positive.

• Learning a new skill every quarter—whether it’s cooking, painting, or a professional certification.

• Setting boundaries to protect my energy and mental health.

OUT:

• Overloading my plate with too many commitments.

• Procrastinating on self-care—no more “I’ll get to it later.”

  
  

Personal Goal: To read 4 books that inspire growth and challenge my perspective. And listen to motivational podcasts. 

✈️ Travel

IN:

• Exploring underrated destinations for unique experiences.

• Traveling with intention—immersing myself in local cultures and traditions.

• Weekend getaways to recharge and reset.

OUT:

• Overscheduling trips to the point of exhaustion.

• Letting fear of the unknown hold me back from solo travel opportunities.

  
  

Travel Goal: Visit 3 new destinations this year, including one international trip.

💰 Finances

IN:

• Automating savings and tracking my spending more mindfully.

• Investing in personal development and experiences that bring me joy.

• Cutting back on unnecessary subscriptions and impulse buys.

OUT:

• Stressing over finances without taking actionable steps.

• FOMO-fueled spending—if it’s not aligned with my goals, it’s not worth it.

• Avoiding difficult financial conversations.

  
  

Financial Goal: Pay off debt and save money for a dream trip.

📈 Career

IN:

• Saying yes to opportunities that align with my passions and long-term vision.

• Networking intentionally and surrounding myself with inspiring mentors and peers.

• Creating a better work-life balance to avoid burnout.

• Celebrating my small wins along the way.

OUT:

• Staying in my comfort zone—I’m ready to take calculated risks!

• Comparing my progress to others—this is my unique journey.

• Neglecting professional development opportunities.

  
  

Career Goal: Growing my business, reaching new milestones for my business and achieving a new sales record.

🎙️ Podcast Goals

IN:

• Consistently posting new episodes every [specific timeframe, e.g., week or month].

• Collaborating with inspiring guests who bring fresh perspectives.

• Expanding my reach through social media and cross-promotion.

• Listening to audience feedback to create even better content.

OUT:

• Overthinking every detail and delaying launches.

• Comparing my podcast to others instead of focusing on my growth.

• Ignoring analytics—this year, I’m diving into the data to see what works!

Podcast Goal: Grow our listener base by launching new features or segments and monetize our podcast sustainably.

As I head into 2025, my mantra is progress over perfection. By focusing on what’s truly important and letting go of what’s holding me back, I’m confident this year will be one of growth, adventure, and meaningful achievements. Love always, Evy!
