25 of the most useful ideas from 2025

There's a lot of noise at the end of the year about goal setting, becoming your best self, making 2026 the best year yet, or stepping into a "new" you. January 1st can feel like you're supposed to mark some grand transformation, like you're meant to shed your skin and emerge as someone completely different.

My extended family in Taiwan follows the lunar calendar, and with it being the end of the year of the Snake, this means it's time to shed what's no longer needed. What once protected you, but what you've now grown out of.

I love that. As I zoom out at the end of this year, I want to give you the most valuable ideas I've come across. I've distilled everything into a list 25 prompts that I hope are meaningful and useful for you so you can shed what isn't needed, and create what will serve you next. Like...

#8: What gave you the most peace this year?
#19: Your environment is strong than willpower. How can you make it easy for yourself? #25: There’s sweet spot of challenges between feeling a little out of control and overwhelmed. How will you gauge that?

As you look back, know that you don't need to become "new". You're not broken. You don't need fixing. What you might need is alignment, or a quiet check-in with what matters. It might be a simple adjustment toward the things that feel true. Or a reset.

There's real value in asking yourself good questions. Not the shallow "What are your goals?" kind, but the ones that help you notice where you're out of sync with yourself, and where can you flow when you've been pushing.

Use what resonates, skip what doesn't. But if you take nothing else from this list, take this: build a life that makes you feel most alive.

If you discover through these questions that you want to create more space for what matters, the Practice with Purpose framework + planner is rooted in exactly this!

P.S. One - What makes you feel most alive, connected and energized? Do more of that.

Two - 2026 is the year of the Horse. This means forward movement, bold actions, strength that doesn't need to prove itself. Horses are also incredibly sensitive. They read energy, and know when something's forced versus when it's flowing. They won't be pushed where they don't want to go. What does this mean for your goals?

Three - the Practice with Purpose framework is on special. $99 for:

  • the complete framework ($77)
  • your physical planners included (a $80 value, shipped to your door)
  • training modules and ongoing resources

A system built on alignment, connection and flow.

In this letter A year to remember | 25 for 25, the clarinet edition In this season of reflection, when the rush settles just enough for us to take a breath, we remember why we started this work in the first place. Not for the programs or the altissimo fingerings or the perfect guest line-ups. But for the people. For you. This year asked more of us than we expected. In the spring, I stepped away to care for my sister during her final months. It was the hardest thing I've ever done, and the...

In this letter What the Nutcracker taught me about goals(and it's not "do fewer Nutcrackers"!) Just a few days ago I wasn't getting through the first act of Nutcracker without wincing. Tis' the season of holiday doubles with the Cincinnati Symphony: 6 rousing pops, 10 Nutcrackers in five days, 2 nerve impingements and 1... clarinetist down! Some of you are in the thick of 'gigmas' as it's called! My body, which generally has a pretty good amount of tightness from everyday playing, started...

In this letter Your inner voice is the key I'm giving you homework. Before you close this email in protest, read to the end! I promise it won't hurt too much. First of all, it's the kind of homework you do in fuzzy socks with a mug of something warm. It'll actually feel less like work and more like getting to breathe and feel. (Aka your nervous system gets a good rest)! Here's the assignment: Spend 30 minutes between now and the new year asking yourself what you actually want—not as a...
