Dr. Stephanie delves into various aspects of life, including how time and money were spent, relationships, personal goals, and internal reflections. She also explores topics such as personal judgment, self-sabotage, and the manifestation of desired qualities. By reflecting on these areas, Dr. Stephanie aims to inspire you to introspect on your own life and foster personal growth as you embark on the new year.
