184: Listening, Living & Thriving: Honouring the Habits, Routines & Rituals That Carry Us — A 2025 Wrap-Up and Bold Invitation for 2026

Author: Lorrie Mickelson, Habits & Self Care December 27, 2025 Duration: 22:32

Welcome to the closing week of 2025, Habit Thrivers!


As we wrap up 2025, several themes from our year together stood out:


  • Meditation and mindfulness as coming home to ourselves;
  • Movement as nourishment and joy;
  • Nutrition as care and empowerment;
  • Ayurveda as a reminder that rhythm and seasons matter;
  • Decluttering as a way to lighten not just our homes but our minds;
  • And overall wellness as self-honouring rather than self-improvement.


Woven through it all was our Habit Thrive lens — habits, routines, and rituals — because that’s where wisdom becomes lived experience.


Today, on Episode #184, I'm sharing some more of my favourite podcasts (including one specific episode I have listened to throughout 2025).


Listen through the Habit Thrive lens by asking how what you hear could become a supportive habit, grounding routine, or meaningful ritual in your Me Now Years.


The insight I received from my podcast listening has inspired something bold for 2026!


Starting January 1st, I’ll be sharing short, soulful 2–5 minute daily audio messages as a private podcast — not as a challenge, but as an invitation to gentle, consistent grounding and connection.


You can join for a month, a year, or whenever it feels right for you. Just click the link below to see the details.


Thank you for an incredible 2025 and for being part of this beautiful Me Now community. I can’t wait to see what 2026 holds as we continue to thrive together!
