Merry Christmas and welcome to Creative Journeys!

Hi, I’m Lucy Rennie, and in this festive episode, I’m joined by the amazing Jo Day as we reflect on the past year and plan for the next. This time of year is perfect for slowing down, taking stock, and setting intentions. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, business owner, or simply looking to grow, this episode is packed with practical tips to help you turn the page into 2025 with clarity and purpose.

Episode Highlights

🎄 The Power of Reflection
This Christmas Day, I’m encouraging you to pause and look back at the year gone by. Think of it as your “first draft” a chance to evaluate, refine, and reimagine your story for the next chapter.

✨ Lessons from 2024

I’ve learned the importance of letting go of ego, perfectionism, and things that no longer serve me.
Setting boundaries and focusing on what matters most has been transformational.

✨ Jo’s Reflections
Jo shares her pride in launching the Brunchi Shop, a dream come true, and her discovery of the joy and value in face-to-face connections.

📚 Practical Takeaways

Reflect on the past year as a book: What chapters stand out? What would you edit or remove?
Identify the main characters in your story, are you spending time with the right people?
Answer three key questions for 2025:
1. What will I stop doing?
2. What will I start doing?
3. What will I do more of?

My Favourite Reflection Tools

💡 Take time to meditate, journal, or simply go for a walk. These quiet moments help spark insights into what’s working, what isn’t, and where you want to go.

Episode Extras

🎁 I’ve put together a Reflection Worksheet to guide you through this process. Download it here.
