Episode 53: This Is My Year – How to Create an Inspired Action Plan for Your Best Year Ever (+ Guided Meditation with Handpan Music) Welcome back to The Goddess Way of Living with Cristin Powers! If you're ready to make 2025 your year, this episode will help you set powerful intentions and create an inspired action plan to stay aligned, motivated, and on track with your biggest dreams. ✨ In this episode, you'll learn how to:✔ Set meaningful goals using a step-by-step breakdown (weekly, monthly, seasonal)✔ Speed up time, quantum leap into your dream life, and manifest success✔ Stay present, grateful, and celebrate your wins along the way This episode includes a powerful guided meditation set to the soothing handpan music of Jacob Cole. Let these affirmations ground you in self-love, abundance, and belief in your limitless potential.

As we look back on 2024—a year of challenges for many in real estate—we're sharing how we not only navigated the shifting market, but had our best year yet. In this episode ,we break down the strategies, mindset shifts, and key decisions that helped us thrive while others struggled. With 2024 marking the lowest home sales since 1995, many agents felt stuck. But instead of waiting for the market to change, we adapted. By understanding the evolving homebuyer landscape—especially the differing attitudes of millennials and Gen Z—we adjusted our approach and leaned into what truly works: brand consistency and relationship-building. Rather than chasing cold online leads, we focused on nurturing our existing database, staying top-of-mind through consistent communication and client events. We also talk about the power of mindset—how choosing to focus on wins rather than market negativity made all the difference in keeping our momentum strong. Most importantly, we're sharing five actionable steps to set yourself up for success in 2025. Whether it's refining your pipeline, staying consistent with email marketing, or surrounding yourself with the right people, these strategies will help you grow—no matter what the market throws your way. Tune in for an honest, insightful conversation about what it really takes to thrive in real estate today. Let's make 2025 a year of growth and success—together!

Making this your best year ever depends on developing a deeper relationship with Jesus through intentional walking, listening, and believing. True relationship means following His lead rather than asking Him to follow our plans. Creating quiet spaces for prayer and reducing distractions helps us hear His voice more clearly. When we truly believe, we expect miracles, trust His plans, and maintain hope even in difficult circumstances. By aligning our thoughts with God's and approaching Him with anticipation, we position ourselves for transformation.

Hello, my loves! Welcome back to And She Rises — TF up — the podcast. In the first episode of the year, I'm sharing the three things that I'm doing to make 2025 my Best Year Ever >> All of it's in the episode.

In this episode, I'll guide you through a fresh and powerful way to set your intentions for 2025—by tuning into your senses and channeling your inner celebrity. This isn't just about goal-setting; it's about creating a year you can feel, taste, and experience deeply. We'll also talk about what it means to embrace your "star energy" and live boldly as the main character of your life. If you're ready to make 2025 your most vibrant and authentic year yet, this episode is for you!

What made fearful disciples bold enough to turn the world upside down? In this powerful message, Gregory Dickow reveals how intimacy with God gives you strength beyond your weaknesses, peace in your struggles, and the boldness to live with purpose. Discover practical habits—like speaking life, praying in tongues, and taking communion—that will deepen your relationship with God and empower you to live a life of extraordinary impact.

Today we cover a mix of festive holiday reflections and current Christmas trends. We debate the merits of artificial versus real trees, the Federal Reserve's recent decision to lower interest rates, market reactions, and the potential onset of a recession, and historical cases like Puerto Rico's bond defaults, and more! It's a Merry Christmas here! Today we discuss...  How Hanukkah's alignment with Christmas is rare due to differing solar cycles and offers a unique multi-year celebration opportunity for 2024-2025. A shift from real to artificial Christmas trees, driven by mold allergies. A personal tradition of year-end reflection, dubbed "Best Year Ever," emphasizing life evaluation and goal setting over a two-week holiday break. Fed Chair Powell's interest rate cuts and their implications for markets and economic confidence were analyzed, with insights on potential recession signals like the inverted yield curve. Economic indicators, including high-yield bond performance and confidence metrics, were examined to forecast recession risks and investor sentiment. The Puerto Rican bond default served as a cautionary tale for assessing risks in high-yield portfolios, drawing parallels to current market trends. Market bullishness is fueled by a strong economy, decent earnings, and optimism about new presidential policies perceived as pro-business. Concerns were raised about tariff policies potentially replacing income tax and their inflationary implications. The market appears overvalued, with current performance exceeding economic fundamentals, risking a potential correction. Reversion to the mean was discussed as a natural market dynamic, suggesting that extreme highs or lows eventually balance out. Rising money market assets reflect cautious investor behavior, with significant cash reserves awaiting better market valuations. Inflationary pressures are linked to reduced supply and increased money supply, paralleling market dynamics. Markets need a perceived value shift to attract sidelined liquidity. Year-end is a prime time to reassess portfolios and consider tax implications. Reflect on strong market performance and evaluate whether reallocating or profit-taking is prudent. December 31st and January 1st are pivotal market dates due to tax-loss selling and portfolio rebalancing. Diversification theory, while historically valuable, may now be less effective due to increased asset correlation. Risk is the permanent loss of capital, whereas volatility is short-term price fluctuation. The current bull market may soon rival the 1990s tech boom in duration and performance, though a mean reversion is expected. High-yield bonds should be viewed more like high-dividend equities due to their risk and reward profile. Online shopping has grown but still accounts for less than 20% of total retail sales. Men and women share similar preferences for holiday gifts, favoring money, clothing, and gift cards.   Today's Panelists: Kirk Chisholm | Innovative Wealth Douglas Heagren | ProCollege Planners Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/moneytreepodcast Follow LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/money-tree-investing-podcast Follow on Twitter/X: https://x.com/MTIPodcast For more information, visit the show notes at https://moneytreepodcast.com/christmas-trends-671
