Energy, Sleep, and Body Signals

In this solo, Lindsey walks you through her process for truthfully reviewing the past year—ditching self-judgment, toxic positivity, and unrealistic resolutions. She drops some powerful journaling prompts to help you process the lessons learned as well as the patterns you’re ready to break.

Ahead, Lindsey reveals how she navigated challenging moments + unexpected transitions in 2025. Plus, she unpacks why we forget our wins, how to make your accomplishments visible (both inward + outward), and the science of emotional resilience for women in their 20s + 30s. 

Lindsey also shares her favorite exercises for strengthening connections, confronting self-abandonment, and shifting from performance-driven goals to alignment-based living. Leave this episode with a fresh “north star” feeling for your life + a strategic plan rooted in self-worth.

We also talk about:

• How to write your personal “year in review” headline
