How I wrap up my year and set myself up for success next year

In this end-of-year episode of the Empower House Podcast, I’m sharing the simple but powerful process I use to close out the year and set myself up for a calm, clear January.

This isn’t about overcomplicating things or adding more to your plate — it’s about tidying up, planning ahead, and creating space so you can start the new year feeling organised, grounded, and ready to go. I walk you through how I approach my finances, calendar, business planning, family logistics, and even physical clutter, so nothing feels heavy or unfinished when the year ends.

If you’ve ever hit January already feeling behind, this episode will help you wrap up the year with intention and step into the next one feeling lighter and more in control.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

  • Why getting up to date with your bookkeeping before the new year matters.
  • How I plan personal appointments, self-care, and time off in advance.
  • The way I set business goals and break them into quarterly and weekly actions.
  • How I prepare my business to run smoothly while I take a proper break.
  • Why scheduling rest and holidays is just as important as scheduling work.
  • How tidying up your space, systems, and relationships creates momentum.
  • Why letting go of what no longer serves you is a powerful end-of-year ritual.

As we head into a new year, this episode is your reminder that you get to choose how you close one chapter and begin the next — with clarity, intention, and a whole lot of self-trust.

If this episode resonates, I’d love to hear how you’re wrapping up your year. Come and connect with me on Instagram @empower.house and tell me what you’re letting go of — and what you’re creating space for.
