How My Husband and I Kickstarted 2025 with a Visioning Session (+ How You Can Too!)

Hands writing in a journal

As we step into a fresh new year, my husband and I decided to start 2025 with intention and clarity by doing a special New Year’s visioning session. It’s something we’ve done for years, and it has become a powerful way to align our goals, values, and dreams for the year ahead. I shared our exact process on Instagram, but I wanted to make sure to break it down for you here too.

And if this resonates with you, I’ve got a special offer to help you go even deeper—my Design Your Dream Life Workshop is 88% off for the next few days. Let’s dive in!

Step 1: Rate Your Happiness in Key Life Areas

Start by rating your happiness in the following areas of life on a scale of 0–10:

✨ Career and Professional Success
✨ Financial Security and Freedom
✨ Relationships
✨ Health and Well-Being
✨ Lifestyle and Environment
✨ Personal Growth
✨ Legacy and Impact
✨ Spirituality and Meaning

Why it matters: This step provides clarity and a strong foundation for the rest of the exercise. Don’t fear the numbers—embrace them. Even if you’re not where you want to be, this is your starting point.

💡 Remember: Each area impacts the others, so improving in one can create positive ripple effects across your life.

Step 2: Reflect on Each Area

For each category, ask yourself:

  • What would improve my number?
  • What do I actually want?
  • What am I tolerating?
  • Who am I jealous of/who do I admire?

Why it matters: These questions cut through societal or outdated expectations to uncover what you truly desire. They’ll help you redefine success on your terms.

Step 3: Identify Your Limiting Beliefs

Ask yourself: What’s holding me back from moving towards my vision?

Why it matters: If you don’t believe something is possible, you won’t pursue it. Acknowledging fears and limiting beliefs allows you to reframe and overcome them.

💡 Tip: If you’re unsure what’s blocking you, move to Step 4—your fears will naturally emerge when you think about taking action.

Step 4: Take Aligned Action

What’s one action you can take to move toward your goals this year?

Why it matters: A vision without action is just a dream. Taking even small steps builds momentum and reveals the next ones. Plus, this is where doubts and fears surface, giving you an opportunity to work through them.

Step 5: Plan January (Not the Whole Year!)

Focus on the steps you’ll take in January for the areas where your happiness scores were lower.

Why it matters: Planning one month at a time keeps the process manageable and reduces overwhelm. With consistent action, your vision will unfold naturally throughout the year.

Bonus Tips for Success

✈️ Map Your Travel and Key Goals: My husband and I love to travel, so we always plan our trips for the year. We also schedule big personal or professional milestones, like launches or family goals.

💡 Share the Process: Doing this with a spouse, friend, or business partner adds accountability and can make the process even more fun.
