In honor of the new year coming up, I thought it would be a good idea for us to do some reflecting on 2021. Last year, Camarah and I did an episode with 20 reflection questions for the new year, in hopes that y'all would reflect with us. Seeing as it may take a really long time to fully reflect on 20 questions all at once, I decided to split these questions up over the 3 weeks leading up to 2022. After I ask and answer each question, there will be 5 minutes for you to reflect on the question and journal on it, if you feel so inclined. Feel free to pause and extend the time if you need to. I hope y'all enjoy, sending love!

I hope y'all love this episode and hopefully feel inspired to work toward your own creative passions, especially with the new year coming up! Sending love always!
