Jeremy Cline rarely focuses on his own journey during his episodes of the Change Work Life podcast. As 2025 draws to a close, Jeremy reflects on the past year, sharing his gratitude for the successes and positive moments he often overlooks in favour of thinking ahead. Rather than look forward, Jeremy took this opportunity to pause, appreciate what went well, and offer listeners a glimpse into his personal reflections and growth over the last twelve months.
