It's that time of year again! Let's check in with how I'm getting on with the 25 goals I set for 2025, and whether I'm moving in the right direction to tick them off.

It's that time of year again! Let's check in with how I'm getting on with the 25 goals I set for 2025, and whether I'm moving in the right direction to tick them off.

Mid year check in: 25 goals for 2025

This episode is a recast of my annual guided mid year money review that is PERFECT for taking stock of where you're at as we close out the first half of 2025 and look ahead to what's to come. Even if you've heard this 5-step review process episode before, I encourage you to listen again with this year in mind. These things are always different every time we do them! 

The goal of this guided mid year money review is to get you to farm the data from the first half of the year and deploy your learnings into the second half of the year. Often we approach goal setting from a best-case-scenario mindset, which can set us up to fail. By anchoring ourselves in the mid point of the year, and using the real data of Jan - June in our finances to inform what's possible for Jul - Dec, we can set goals and intentions with context, and that set us up for success.
