In this episode, we’re wrapping up the year with heart, humor, and a whole lot of reflection (and laughter). This episode is your reminder to pause, reflect, and celebrate the little things that make life (and growth) so special.

You’ll hear Holly, Emma, and Kelly giggling over life’s quirks and diving deep into how the biggest moments of growth often arise from life’s seemingly mundane moments. We talk about everything from girl dinner walks to the hilariously practical wisdom of keeping cheese in your pocket (yes, you read that right).

But it’s not just about the laughs—we’ve also created something special for you. We have a free PDF download packed with:

• Year in Review Game Show Questions to reflect on 2024 with your favorite people.
• Journal Prompts to set heartfelt intentions for the year ahead.
• A playful 2025 Bingo Card to keep you inspired as you step into the new year.

Here’s where you come in: We want to know what you added to your 2025 bingo card! What’s lighting you up for the year ahead? Is it something quirky, heartfelt, or totally unexpected? Share your bingo squares with us—tag me on Instagram @howthewiseonegrows or send us a message or voice memo. We might even share your ideas in a future episode!

Grab your journal, cozy up with your favorite snack (cheese in your pocket optional), and tune in for a joyful and reflective ride.
