As the year wraps up, it's time to pause and reflect: What’s the story of your year? Is it a narrative of growth, connection, and small (or big) wins? Or are you caught replaying what didn’t go to plan? In this inspiring episode, Gillian shares how the stories we tell ourselves shape our reality, confidence, and outlook for the future.

You’ll discover how to reframe your year, celebrate what truly matters, and shift your perspective to build positive momentum as you step into 2025.

Whether you’re winding down for the holidays or still tying up loose ends, this episode is your reminder to recognise the moments that defined your year—both big and small—and rewrite a story you’re proud to tell.
