As the year winds down, it’s easy to focus on what’s left undone. But we also carry experiences, expectations, relationships, and emotions that shape who we’re becoming. This blog invites you to pause and reflect on three questions: What did you carry well this year? What became too heavy? What are you ready to set down? A meaningful pause at year-end to gain clarity, lighten your load, and step into the new year with intention.
Change can blur what’s familiar, but clarity returns when we rise through it—sometimes on our own, sometimes because someone helps us lift. Inspired by Pixar’s Up, this reflection explores mentorship, trust, and the courage to guide and be guided through life’s fog.

Inspired by a quiet volunteer with a clear sense of direction, it’s a reminder that leadership is about helping others feel connected, valued, and part of something bigger.
