Outro

If you have been running hard all year and have not yet stopped long enough to feel it, this episode is your invitation to pause.

In this episode of Stay at the Top, I share the exact end of year reflection framework I use personally and professionally to recalibrate before a new season begins. This year has been a completely new chapter for me, navigating early motherhood, returning to work sooner than planned, and operating without the usual rhythms that normally keep me grounded.

Rather than viewing the gaps as failure, I am choosing to view them as data. This episode is an honest reflection on what worked, what did not, and what needs to evolve. I walk you through the Stop, Start, Keep framework and give you real examples from my own life to help prompt your own reflection.

High performance is not full throttle all of the time. The people who sustain success are the ones who pause to review, reflect and recalibrate. This episode is your tool to do exactly that.

In this episode, I cover:

- Why reflection is a core performance skill, not a soft one

- How the Stop, Start, Keep framework works

- Why pushing harder is not always the answer

- What I am stopping in 2026 and why

- What I am starting again after drifting from it

- The habits I am keeping as non negotiables

- How motherhood reshaped my routines, energy and capacity

- The importance of cadence beyond daily habits

- Why recalibration matters more than reinvention

- How to run your own personal and professional reset

Key Quotes:

“High performance is not full throttle all of the time.”

“Reflection sharpens decision making.”

“You do not need reinvention. You need recalibration.”
