For most self-employed people, 2025 hasn’t been easy. But before you call it a year and put on the Wham! … were there some pearls of wisdom to glean from the fog? Some glimmers of clarity amid the uncertainty and confusion? And, despite what your brain’s negativity bias is telling you, some of your proudest achievements yet?

Whether you’re racing to the finish line or starting to wind things down, it’s always valuable to look back on the year that was — particularly when you’re self-employed and need to take care of your own performance review/bonus/Christmas party.

If you could do with a nudge to carve out some time for both inner and strategic reflection, join me for a relaxed, guided workshop to mull over (pardon the pun) everything you learned in 2025.

Who is this for?

This workshop is designed for freelancers, business owners and self-employed people. Whether you’ve had a fantastic year or a sh*t one, there’ll be something to take from it: strategic clarity, a different emotional perspective, and renewed faith, courage, and self-compassion.

Meet your host, Lucia Fontaina-Powell from More To Life

I’m an accredited life & career coach and a fellow self-employed person.

I work with independent spirits navigating the rollercoaster ride of self-employment—offering a friendly sounding board and psychology-based insight to comb through the emotional and existential tangles of working for yourself (from self-doubt to setting boundaries).

I’ll be walking you through the exact method I use to conduct my own “annual reviews”: exercises I use with my clients, and journalling prompts inspired by by own experience.

What to expect

Because calendars get a bit stacked at this time of year, we’ll be meeting on our lunch break over Zoom. There will also be a recording if you can’t make it live.

I’ll be guiding you through a series of reflective exercises and journalling prompts designed to help you take stock of 2025, and feel optimistic about the year ahead.

Questions and sharing is welcome, but this workshop is designed to give you quiet time with your own thoughts. You’re welcome to keep your cameras off and you won’t have to interact if you don’t want to.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll have:

– A different perspective on what you’ve “achieved” —transcending clients booked and revenue earned
– Insights on where you’ve grown—not just in business, but as a person—to inform your decisions moving forwards
– Clarity on intentions, priorities, and next steps for 2026
– A sense of appreciation for your journey

What you’ll need

Something to write with and whatever else makes you feel comfortable and centred (jazz in the background, incense burning, pets, etc.).

This is optional, but it may also help to bring:
– Any goals, intentions, or visions you set at the beginning of 2025
– A record of what you’re worked on, if you need a reminder

What not to expect

This isn’t going to be a year in numbers. These prompts will be focused on your thoughts, feelings and identity as a freelancer or business owner. Going deeper than MRR and profit to get you thinking about how you’re creating a life and career on your terms—defining your own version of success, rather than measuring it through other people’s.
