EP 283. How to End The Year Without Feeling Like a Failure

Written By Jennifer Dent Brown

If you’re ending this year quietly disappointed in yourself, this episode is for you.

Not because you failed.
Not because you need fixing.
But because overachieving women are rarely taught how to end a season without turning it into a self indictment.

This episode is a conversation about the pressure no one talks about. The kind that shows up when goals go unfinished, bodies change, and life asks more than expected.

No motivation.
No plans.
No promises.

Just perspective, relief, and permission to stop proving before January arrives.

Listen if you want to close this year without shame.

What You’ll Walk Away Understanding:

  • A clear reframe for why feeling like a failure at the end of the year is common and not evidence you messed up

  • A way to stop turning unfinished goals into proof that something is wrong with you

  • Relief from the pressure to fix yourself before January

  • A grounded mindset to close the year without shame, self punishment, or overcorrecting

  • A simple truth that makes January easier to enter without forcing change
