Hopes & Goals for 2025 & Beyond....

Over Christmas, I did something I'd never done before......

I sat down and mapped out everything I wanted to achieve in 2025 and beyond.

Honestly? It was a bit overwhelming. I went big, maybe too big. The kind of big that makes my heart race with a mix of excitement and “what on earth have I just committed myself to?”

Will I accomplish everything on that list? Probably not. And that’s okay. Some ideas might need more time, others might evolve into something completely different. But just starting to get those thoughts out of my head and onto paper...feels like the first step toward something much more real.

It’s funny. Something as simple as writing down your dreams can stir up so much emotion. For me, it’s this strange blend of nervous energy, self-doubt, and pure excitement.

For me, a rubbish swimmer, it's like standing at the edge of a high diving board, knowing the leap will be exhilarating but terrifying at the same time.

Today, I’m meeting a good friend to talk through it all. There’s a vulnerability in sharing your biggest hopes with someone, it’s daunting to open yourself up to feedback, but it’s also how ideas grow. I’m hoping our conversation will help me shape my plan that feels less daunting and more achievable.

If you’re reading this and you’ve been thinking about your own goals for the year, let me say this: Dream big. Write it down, even if it feels messy or impossible. Give yourself permission to get excited, to be a little scared!

Let’s take that leap together. What’s one thing you’re dreaming of for 2025?

How does this feel? Would you like to make it even more personal?
