あらすじ・解説
Welcome to the first episode of 2025! I’m so excited to kick off the year with a solo episode where I’ll be sharing the 7 things I’m taking into 2025. As I reflected on 2024, I realized there were key habits, practices, and lessons that truly worked for me—both personally and professionally—and I want to carry that momentum forward into the new year. In this episode, I’ll be talking about everything, from simplifying systems and embracing technology, to connecting with other teachers, setting boundaries, and cultivating gratitude. I’ll also reveal my word of the year for 2025 and how it’s shaping my goals moving forward. Whether you’re looking for inspiration, practical tips, or just a fresh perspective, I hope you’ll find something here to take into your own year ahead.
