2026 is almost halfway through. In this episode, I share a simple but powerful method we used in a recent workshop at Single Mothers’ Sisterhood to reflect on the first half of the year and gain clarity for the second half. All you need is 30 minutes, three reflection questions, and your favorite AI tool. Even in the middle of a busy life, taking time to pause and reflect can help you see things more clearly. Before the year slips away, this might be a good time to check in with yourself and ask: Where am I now, and how do I want to move forward?

▼ 3 Reflection Questions
1. What achievements or experiences gave you the strongest sense of progress in the past six months?
(You don’t need to choose only one. List anything that comes to mind.)
2. How have your values, priorities, or way of thinking changed during these six months?
(It doesn’t have to be a dramatic change. Maybe something simply became clearer or deeper.)
3. Which of these best describes how you feel about the second half of the year?
A: I want to deepen what I already have
B: I want to gain momentum and move faster
C: I want to slow down and create more space
D: I want to challenge myself with something new
E: Something else
