Striving for a Kinder, More Connected 2025

 

Setting Kind Goals for 2025

Hello ,

As the year draws to a close, it’s the perfect time to pause and reflect. 2024 was full of opportunities for kindness, growth, and connection—and now is your chance to carry those lessons into 2025.

This week, I want to encourage you to reflect on the ways kindness showed up in your life over the past year: the acts of giving you offered, the moments of kindness you received, and even the times you wished you had shown yourself or others more compassion.

Here’s a simple reflection activity to guide you:

Look back at 2024.

  • What moments of kindness stood out to you?
  • How did you give to others, and how did they give to you?
  • How did you feel about the kind moments that you had with yourself and others throughout the year?

Set intentions for 2025.

  • What are three specific ways you want to give back in the coming year?
  • How can you make kindness—toward yourself and others—a part of your daily routine?
  • What support or resources might help you maintain these intentions?

Kindness is most powerful when it’s intentional, whether it’s a small gesture or a long-term commitment to giving back. By reflecting on your experiences and setting thoughtful goals, you can create a foundation for a kinder, more connected year ahead.


Thank you for being part of this community and for the ways you bring kindnss into the world. Here’s to a 2025 filled with compassion, connection, and care—for others and yourself.

How I'm Making Space for What's Next

  Adapting to Newness and Change in My Own Life Hello  , All month, we’ve been talking about change—why it’s hard, how it affects your nervous system, why embracing new beginnings can feel so complicated, and ways to stay grounded in the process. This week, I want to close out the month by sharing a bit of my own story with you. Preparing for My Big Move After living on my own for almost 10 years, I’ll soon be moving into a new home with a  roommate . That might not sound like a big deal on the surface, but for me, it’s a pretty major life change. It comes with a mix of emotions: excitement, anxiety, grief, curiosity, and hope. I’ve been slowly organizing my belongings and mentally preparing—visualizing what the space will look like, how I’ll settle in, what it will feel like to live differently. It’s a change I’ve chosen because I think it will be good learning experience and opportunity for me. But it still feels hard. Change is Rarely Just One Emotion Even when we...

My Journey to Freedom

  My Consistent Pursuit of Freedom Hello  , Throughout this month, we’ve been exploring freedom—not just in theory, but in practice. We’ve talked about the ways we can lose our sense of self, the barriers that keep us stuck, and the small steps we can take to begin breaking free. This week, I want to offer something a little more personal. Because  freedom isn’t just something I talk about in my work—it’s something I’ve had to fight for in my own life. For much of my life, I didn’t fully feel free. I’ve always existed a bit outside the mold—as a biracial, disabled, polyamorous, and pansexual person, there have been layers of identity that the world hasn’t always known how to hold. Add to that a lifetime of moving from state to state, adapting, adjusting, and navigating spaces where I often felt like I had to leave parts of myself at the door just to belong… and you can start to understand why freedom, for me, hasn’t always come easily or naturally. There’s been pressure t...
