(#95) A Year In Review And Future Directions For 2025

This isn’t meant to be a brag episode but an opportunity for me to share what I have done, learnt and experienced in my business over 2024 and what my direction and plans are for 2025.

This was the year where I went all in. All in on my business, to stop faffing and get busy making things happen.

And I did.


In this episode you’ll hear me break down each area of my business, Coaching, Sound Baths, Podcast, Collaborations, and what inner development work supported me throughout this year, to make it (what I truly to believe) one of my greatest in business to date!

Plus my future plans for 2025.

Did it all plan out according to my goals and intentions - yes & no. You’ll find out all about this in the episode.

I want this episode to be a reminder for you to take time, and I mean really take the time, to reflect on your year. Document it, voice note it and see what has truly unfolded for you! I think you will be pleasantly surprised as to how much growth, success and movement you have achieved in the last 12 months.

episode: 0:45

Welcome dear listener, welcome to this podcast episode. I'm going to make it really super quick, a real super quick recap of my 2024 and what I'm planning for 2025. I actually am just recording this for the second time because I felt like 25 minutes in to the first recording. It's like a boring, I don't know, like a boring speech of what I did this year and I don't think you need it. It's almost like one of those investor reports or those corporate summaries and you're just like yeah my eyes just glazed and my ears shut down on that so I'm going to try and make this really super sharp and snappy because I guess what I really want within this podcast is to share it's not a boasting platform is to share what I've achieved also for me to like just personally diarize this and just record it as a little time capsule of what I've done this year so I hope that inspires you to do something similar whether you just voice note it into your phone or you verbally voice note it into google docs so you can read it later but it's like really good to just look at the things and aspects of your business and go wow I did achieve a lot was I on track with my goals did I shift and move away have I evolved. Things happen in the way that I've really wanted them like it's a really good opportunity to sit down and do that and I know we're busy and I know there's lots of stuff happening with Christmas but honestly if you can just give yourself like 10 minutes just to voice note document what you've achieved for the year and your reflections it helps put into perspective that you've done amazing things like honestly sometimes when we get to December we're so clogged and bogged down we're just getting through the last hurdles of work, Christmas prep. Organizing holidays, that we're just looking for that spaciousness, that spaciousness in that week between Christmas and New Year's and maybe the week after before you go back to work, if you've only got two weeks off, where you can just fully like binge eat, hopefully not binge drink, but you know, you can just really relax, let yourself go, have fun, sleep in, do all the things, you know, have fun with your family. Whatever it is, before you pick up the reins and continue with work which I have to say come January will feel like a bit of a tough slog because it's like getting that momentum and that drive again but hey each to. Their own maybe you'll be ramped up and ready to go by the time we get back to work so yeah so please take a moment just reflect really. Reflect on what's happened in your year because you'll be so. Surprised as to what you actually have achieved. When you sit down and you look at maybe your goals and intentions that you mapped out from the start of the year to what you've achieved within this time now I just reviewed my annual goals and my strategy for 2024 and some of it was on the mark and some of it was really far off the mark but I have learned a lot about myself this year like I honestly feel like this year is or has been that year of inner development expansion and growth words that I had for some reason tapped into for this year were leadership and trust and I would say yeah I have had to lean into a lot of trust in myself in the processes that I'm doing the people that I've asked for support the time that I have universe my higher self god all the things to know that I am on the right track and things are working out in my favor and that the leadership like I'm like oh was I really a leader this year but when I look at the courses I offered and the things that I did trainings workshops retreats collabs I'm like well actually I did have an element of leadership within that that does take leader type qualities to step out into that realm of teaching of holding space of workshops rather than just plotting along with the normal of whatever it was that I'd previously been doing overall I felt like this year I had to go all in Francois had time off at the start of the year it was such a flipping blessing he was able to step into daddy daycare and. Do so much renovation work in our backyard most people when they have long service leave they all go off on a holiday or something but we chose to stay in Broome and I said to him this is where I want to go all in you have to step up and hang out with Ava a bit more and I need time to work on my business like if this doesn't happen this year it's never happening and that was kind of like the deal I made with myself as well it was like if this doesn't flip and happen this year it's never going to happen and I said to him as well if I don't take this time for myself now and make things happen and for me making things happen was committing holding myself accountable working on myself reaching goals setting targets like actually being a little bit more diligent with what I was wanting to do rather than just waffling along then this was going to happen and it had to happen in. Time and it had to happen now because I knew that next year we would have our second baby and so I've been looking at my notes going oh yeah I was on track I was far off track let's see what happened and also in this episode I just want to share with you some of my plans for 2025 because I feel like what we feel like we're doing at the start of the year can dramatically shift throughout the year and that's okay like it is totally flipping okay to have a plan that gets slightly modified or changed as we go along as we evolve as we see new opportunities as we experience things and I feel like for me if you haven't already heard episode 90 where I went through a shamanic. Experienced a parallel life chaos and had my car stolen that was like a key moment for me where I've shifted I've literally shifted in an energetic expansive sense from one element of who I was to who I am now and I knew something would unfold like this because when I was tuning into the spirit of this baby baby number two which is a girl and I actually knew at the start of the year it would be a girl before they even confirmed it I just was like it has to be a girl like I know it's going to be a girl I knew that this spirit was very strong very angelic just holding space for me in my growth and helping me shift and move into this place where I am now for the better and it was a really beautiful reminder of everything that's happened that this year that life happens for you and not to you like life happens for your betterment like we have to sometimes go through the shit show and the trauma and the ugly bits to ride it out the other side with the support with the love with the healing so what I've experienced and done has been with the support of an energy healer Kerry White as well as with my mindset coach Nikki Vox to support me to get me where I am and what feels like was a major hurdle in this year has felt more like a tiny little blip now. And where I'm on the other side is so much more better like I just love this spaciousness energy this creativity this unfolding that is developing right now so I'm going to break it down as quickly as I can into mindset coaching sound bath healing podcasts collabs energy healing my novel. And 2025 plans so let's go so as I said I was going to go all in this year I knew I needed support I knew I needed to tidy up some areas that I wasn't satisfied in within my business and I always like to look at areas where I can improve on and. Marketing, marketing, marketing. I felt like I wanted to be stronger in my messaging, more confident, more playful, have more fun and do it in a way that felt like that I wasn't waffling or wasting my time. So I chose to work with Taryn Bolt from The Social Bolt, who is a marketing wizard and a gem. And I'm so glad I invested in her one-to-one coaching session because she really helped me streamline my processes and my offers. so I feel more confident about that. Figure out a bit more about my messaging and my marketing as well as have more fun and realize that there is a way in a process I can do things according to when I'm promoting a workshop or a course or just wanting to share more about what I do. So she helped me realize there's a process that feels right for me and that's something that I've enjoyed and I've continued doing. I love actually communicating to everybody through my emails and my podcast and then flipping what I share into social media last. So she's really helped me get out of that grind of that we have to show up for social media and that for me it's showing up for my email community, showing up here on the podcast. And I love it. So I'm so grateful that I invested in her. I then knew I wanted to invest in my mindset somewhere. And I'd had my eye on Nikki Vox for a while because she trained in a specific kind of, therapy or like mindset coaching that I was like oh I'm really interested in that I've had some experiences of the shifts in that I want more but when I initially reached out to her it wasn't it just didn't feel like the right time and the right time was literally like I had signed up with her in July and shit show happened in the end of July and all throughout August and that's when I needed her it couldn't have been better divinely inspired and aligned for me to work with her so going back to the mindset in terms of mindset coaching clients it was my intention that I would really work hard and I felt like maybe it was more in the first half of the year that this evolved that I would work with some beautiful business women in the mindset coaching program and I had so much fun I loved having that larger container that three-month program where we got to work on so much within business I incorporated sound energy healing mindset work like I literally felt like I was in my game and more than anything I loved hearing the transformation the aha moments that this is what's happened this is how I've evolved this is where I'm going this is what I've released this is how I'm feeling through my mindset because I honestly believe as a testament to the work that I've done this year, if I have not worked on my mindset... I don't think I could be fully sitting here feeling as confident, at ease and clear and I know excited, abundant, joyful about what I do than just solely focusing on a strategy or goals or intentions. Like it has to go hand in hand. Like you have to be fully backed within your mind and your energy about what you want to do to what you want to achieve, right? I know I'm going to say it all the time. I do believe mindset work is so underrated, but you have to do it. It's the inner development work you are being called to do. So helping support those clients, I just loved it. I had some pretty ambitious goals in terms of how many people I wanted to see a month and how many people I would attract in. And I guess in some ways that's still a work in progress. I know and see where it can get more stronger. But it just didn't happen. And I'm allowed myself for that. Like I'm allowing myself for this slow growth through this process. And that if it doesn't all happen immediately where do I need to work on myself and my energy it's not my offers it's not what I'm doing it's how I believe in myself so that's where I feel like I will in 2025 continue work a little bit more on that so stay tuned I did want to have by now it just hasn't happened I do. Podcast a free podcast a private podcast where it's so many episodes where I just unpack what the alchemy mindset transformation method is which is what my mindset coaching program is all about and how you can take that method and apply it to your business that's still there it just hasn't happened and I think it hasn't happened because then I switched gears more to the well I went through that horrible moment in August so life literally got put on pause a bit in August but then I was moving into doing the workshops and that kind of took my attention. Sound baths loved it love it love it love it still love it will always love it and I've learned that this year my mission in the world is to share sound bath healing with more people through teaching and workshops. I love teaching I love holding the group sessions that I do on Sundays I love holding space for people to come and learn I love teaching spirituality I love that and that is where I feel like my energy and my alignment and my joy is more than in doing one-to-one private sound baths I kind of had this feeling like mid-year it would be great to expand my offers to do more weekly sound baths in group sessions as well as offer more one-to-ones I felt like for some reason I wasn't honoring what I did by not doing that many one-to-ones but lo and behold the universe has different plans for me spirit higher self is like let's see where you do it go on experiment see how you feel and then we'll review the situation afterwards well I've reviewed it and at this moment time one-to-one sound bath healings will exist but only on an online format I'm more than happy to do private groups, corporate collaborations, workshops, teachings, group sessions on Sundays, but that's where I will hold space within the sound environment. Sound bath healings and things that I love doing one-to-ones in person. And I guess mainly because I don't have that, like I don't have a space in my house anymore to do it. And I'm not hiring a studio every week to do that. It's just like the energy is just not there. The drive, the pull, the ambition is not there. And I feel like that is for somebody else to do. And I'm here to teach them how to do that. And then they can go do that, which is great, which is amazing. There are so many more people out there who are amazing at one-to-ones and that's where I'm going to help them to be amazing through training them to be sound bath healers and they can go do that okay so also I think somewhere in there I had this ambition to do like three professionally recorded sound baths where I would hire a like a music studio and I would record three don't ask me why I want to do three professional ones don't ask me what I would do with them but just for some reason that's there but again it gets listed every year and it still hasn't happened so I feel like maybe that's not meant to be my space and time just yet but maybe in the future I don't know I don't know what I was I just like the idea of having sat down and recorded at least three sound bars that sound purely blissful and not so amateurish through my microphone that I've done at home and that they could be there for people to really tap into but yeah I don't know sound bath in nature series got finished hella freaking lula yippee yippee. Amazing finally got finished so I will advertise more of that if you have purchased that in the past there's now 15 recordings not three not two 15 so get yourself listening to those and I've got one more I want to upload a recent one I recently did so that's all there that is all there for you so I'm so glad I got that done that was just a nice little project that I could go tick done advertised during maternity leave please podcast podcast podcast podcast let's see what's happening with that podcast I set my intention to do at least one podcast a week because last year I did it fortnightly which was great but this year I was like not gonna go all in gonna do it weekly and I also want to interview more people and to be featured on podcasts like I want to get my messaging more out there so I hired my podcast editor beautiful Olivia D'Souza to go out there and find these people find places where I can be on the podcast and I'd find people to come for me to interview and I had so much fun meeting all these amazing people interviewing people hearing their stories sharing everything loved it and also. Being featured on people's podcasts it really helped me like step more into that I guess you could say leadership quality but also ownership of this is what I do this is who I support this is who I help and I had this ambition that I do like 20 of each didn't I don't know didn't happen I have to say towards the end of this year I got a little bit tired of my podcast and I think what I've realized as much as I love doing it committing to a weekly sound bath has just been a bit tiring for me when I want to focus my energy on the workshops or trainings and things like that and I think this is going to be something I'm going to talk a little bit more in a moment. I like to work on things in my business that light me up at that moment in time. Think if I hadn't been so like stubborn you know dug my heels and gone no I'm going to continue doing a weekly episode which I have although some of them lapsed and they've like this one was meant to come out today and it hasn't it would come out maybe next week I feel like next year we'll put it on pause on like hold I had thought that maybe during maternity leave I'd do one a month but I actually feel like I want to put the podcast on hold for when I feel like I've got something really cool to share and more to share and right now I don't where I want to share my energy and my time is within my sound baths and the level one training that's coming up so I need to put the podcast to one side knowing that there will be by the time I do 97 episodes not quite the 100 there will be 100 but and more but put that to one side for when I gain that momentum and that excitement to do that again. I really enjoyed doing the trilogy series where I interviewed those three women who I felt were doing like really exceptional different things. Brooke McIntosh, Tara Rawson and Anna Jarvie. Loved doing their interviews and I also enjoyed doing episode 90, 91 and 92 where I interviewed Nikki and Kerry and I gave you the full rundown of what happened in the middle of the year. Really enjoyed that. Got put into Spotify jail over one episode. I think it's episode 82 because it said it was like music it's a sound bath it's a meditation and that it breached their rules and all that and I've got to appeal that it's still my list of things to do but yeah podcast loved it did I reach some of my goals yeah I loved it some weeks I had like you know 60 or 80 listens or downloads some I didn't and it just I saw it as according to like where my energy was my focus was and where my mood was I sort of have had a lot of emphasis on this podcast as being like the big thing like the big draw card but in actual fact right now it doesn't feel like it's a necessity it's a nice add-on to have. So that's why I think I'm going to put it a little bit aside, take a little break, have a little refresh and come back to it post maternity leave and see where I want to take things. Co-labs, love them. I've actually had set the intention that every month I would have a co-lab to do, whether I reached out to someone or someone reached out to me and we work together and do something. And I just love it. I love working with people. I love sharing, holding space with people. I love the energy. I love the feedback. I just love it. Like it's so much fun. And this year I had the intention that I would it's actually quite interesting so I'd put in on my list that I wanted to go on a retreat for myself which I got to do in March I went to Bali I had that time out for myself did a bit of energy healing work did some like reflection work had some time out for myself which I feel like was such a long time ago I could really do that right now it's so much better to go right now actually and then I'd also put it there that I would hold a retreat in Bali I actually got offered and invited to do that but the retreat didn't it went ahead but in the end I wasn't needed anymore which was fine long story not going down that road and that was fine but it was really interesting to see how that like there was a possibility and it was there and I was very like unattached on the outcome like they said look it may happen it may not we're not sure yet blah blah blah and I was like at the time well if it goes ahead this is amazing but if it doesn't that's okay I still took myself on a retreat to Bali had a bit of time out for myself I loved it had some clarity had some insight and actually my retreat has inspired others to go as well and experience the same place and the same thing and I'm so happy to be able to be that catalyst for them because for one particular person they would never have considered doing that but they said it was profound like life-changing for them and I'm just so happy that they. Their intuitive lead after hearing my story to go and do that and have that time for themselves, so co-labs i love them i want to do more of them i'm always open and willing to do corporate session private coaching of any sort mindset of any sort soundbars of any sort retreats you can hire me i'm available post-maternity and while france was around to look after two kids right it energy work so usually each year I like to focus on something practical for my business and something more inner development for myself and a long story short this course came along into my vision and I ummed and ahed about it and then I thought why flippin not so it's called dark forces and it's a course all about how to clear energies and entities that are not of. Highest aligned light and love energy she calls it dark forces or beings absent of light and i found it really interesting there's a lot of some conspiracy theories or theories i will say that she suggests that actually have confirmed how i feel about the world and why i often feel about certain things when it comes to music tv movies magazines even netflix right now like i am so uninterested in tv you just wouldn't believe it her name's ali ninfo you can go check her out some of the things she said i'm like this is so flippant interesting and i'm really enjoying it and i've actually been able to do some more energy healing and clearing on myself and my family and my house and all sorts of things and i feel like that in itself has really shifted and opened me up for more expansive possibilities along with the mindset and the energy work that i received back in August when I went through that massive big transformational shift which has kind of put me into this place where I just feel so expansive and expansive in terms of like if I had to describe it because expansive is a word but how does it feel it feels like everything is possible and nothing is impossible anything that I want is possible anything I desire I'm able to achieve and that I'm fully supported by myself, by a higher self, by universe. By source, by God, by manifestation, whatever you want to say, to make these things happen and to receive them and that I'm so worthy and deserving of them. And it's really helped me shift and come more into that as I've been calling it and really tuning into it more so this year and the start of this year, which I think is what this little spirit baby has been telling me, the entrepreneurs. She's the queen, like my version of being a queen. So it's been really fun to be part of that and experience this shift and just see how like calm I feel within myself because I'm no longer in a dysfunctional, unregulated nervous system. That's part of the work that Nikki did with me and that it makes me feel like everything and anything is possible for 2025. Like I'm going to have time out to be with my family. I'm going to spend some quality uninterrupted time with this new baby with my family we're going to go traveling Francois going to be around and then what unfolds within the business and the work that I do is just going to be flipping amazing and I know I'm going to have more insights and downloads and understandings once I get to the other side of that those six months off so I guess it kind of leads me to 2025 what is happening what is gonna happen so uh let's look with this january having some time off see ya bye and then february is my last hurrah it is until i come back it is the level one sound bath healing certification so you can become a practitioner and learn how to hold and lead sound baths in individual group sessions and know how to completely wholeheartedly and intuitively play crystal singing balls i cannot wait to do this. This literally has just come through from the teachings that I did this year of the intro to soundbark healing. I did that three times. And each time someone said, are you going to teach more? Like you're going to teach more. And I'm like, well, I guess I have to now. I don't have to, but I will. Like this, why stop at the introduction? Like why stop at the introduction when you can lead people even further into their greatness and what they're. I would say since September, when I did the last spiritual development round and the last sound bath healing round of myself climbing this mountain. And that's what 2024 has been like. I'm in the Alps somewhere. I'm in a high mountainous area. There's mountains all around me. So if I turn around, I can see all the flipping mountains I've climbed to get to this moment. And I'm climbing this amazing mountain. The path isn't treacherous. It isn't difficult. It's not Everest. It's straightforward follow the little markers and you get to the summit and I'm currently, I had a pause I think in October in this little meadow-y area and I got to reflect and look about and understand and appreciate where I'd come and then to see where I have to go to finish which the finish line will be the end of February when I've done the training I've led and held the training it's an easy walk like it isn't actually going to be a slog it isn't difficult it isn't hard and I think this has also come through from the mindset and the energy work that I've been doing this made me realize that it's so flippant fun there's a few little sidewalks to do so I had you know a collab over here and another event over there but they're easy like everything is so easy and that this level one is just gold like it's literally a treasure chest that I'm holding and I'm wanting to open and just share with the participants with the students of this training, and I'm so excited because when I get to that top of that mountain it's done and I did it and I just feel like that the summit that when I've reached that summit is the culmination of the whole year that I just went through to get to where I am now and I'm so flippin proud of myself, I will say this I am so flippin proud of myself for all the work for all the things I've shifted and navigated to get to that point and. And then beyond that, it's like the vista is amazing. And there's so many more opportunities that are going to be open and flowing through and potentials and more amazing work and opportunities. And even though I don't know what they are because I feel like that vista is still a bit hazy, ideally when I come back, my intention is to continue doing the group sessions, the sound bath sessions, continue doing mindset coaching in my paternity leave spare time. You know because when you have like two kids and a new baby like obviously you're gonna have lots of time to yourself to have finished a few projects or just tidy up a few loose ends good planning Anna but to focus on what really lights me up in my human design I'm a generator we're meant to do what lights us up what we feel so called and attracted to that brings us joy and I feel like That's how I see my business and the way I work. Like I've got my business in itself as a manifesting generator, which means it can be a multitasker. They can have many projects on the go, which is the truth. Because I do, I have many elements of my business, but I just want to pick up the things that feel exciting to do each and every time. So I will be coming back and I'm going to do the spiritual development workshop, the intro to sound, and then hopefully within next year, I will have planned out where I'll be holding the next level one. And I would love to do it more than once in 2026. Somewhere in the start of the year, maybe somewhere in the middle of the year, see how it rolls and see how it expands and how I can leverage that training to hold more space for more people to learn about sound baths. That's where I feel like I really feel aligned with my energy right now and I feel really excited to explore and do. And that's it. That's my recap. 2024 meets 2025 and I cannot wait like I cannot wait I just love it I just love all this stuff that's flowing and that's coming so I want you to like take a moment for yourself I can't remember if I said this at the start so if I have I apologize for repeating myself it may be just me remembering the episode that I recorded and I'm not going to share with you but take time before the end of the year to voice note recap in some way write down or just voice note into you know Google Drive Docs you can read it later what you achieve for 2024 look at what you had planned and set out at the start see what did or didn't happen and that's okay like if it did happen amazing if it didn't happen, that's okay like it doesn't matter did things sort of divert go a little bit differently did new. Are there repeat patterns happening over and over again? Because I tell you what, 2025 is a time for you to do the work, inner work, healing work, mindset work, shifting work, whatever it is, so that you can look back at the end of 2025 in one year's time and be so amazed at everything that you've achieved. And it doesn't have to be like, oh, you know, I made a million dollars or I, you know, sold x amount of products or I had so many clients like it doesn't have to be like that it can be. Where you personally see the growth and the shifts and the changes within yourself knowing that you. Are each and every day each and every month every moment within your business moving stepping and growing forwards into more and more of what you are desiring and wanting to become it gets to be easy it gets to be so easy when you do the work and when you take time to reflect and celebrate like celebrate how amazing you've been celebrate all the amazing things you've done celebrate the goals and the wins because that helps you understand that you nothing's been wasted everything's been happening in the right way obviously between now and um the end of february i've got spaces open if you want to do a 90 minute mindset coaching session with me where we look at your goals and intentions for 2025 and align that with your mindset we will do a review of 2024 for we get you a line for 2025 we do the mindset work so we can get you there so that when it comes to 25 whenever you choose to step into your business again you're ready to do it and you're ready to do it with that passion wholeheartedness enjoyment fun fabulousness all the things that you are so if you're interested in that have a look in the show notes below reach out to me on instagram at anna f hasty or you know on my website however it rolls thank you for listening to this episode I've got two more and then I'll be leaving you for a little while but I hope you're fabulous I hope you're having an amazing day I'm sending you so much love and I'll speak to you soon bye.
