As you reach the end of this reflection, you might be left wondering, “What about the goals? The plans? The reality of day-to-day life?”

This Annual Reflection isn’t about crafting the perfect plan for 2025 — it’s about connecting with the foundation beneath that — the beliefs, values, and identities that underlie the goals and plans.

From this new awareness, you may find that goals and plans feel different now — lighter, guided from deeper values, and approached with wonder. This exercise is about empowering you to BE the version of yourself that alights a flame inside you. From that place, our goals start serving us, rather than us serving our goals.

If this process has sparked something within you — especially if you’re curious about integrating these insights — we are here for you. Whether 1:1 coaching, meetups, or retreats, we’re here to help you navigate the transformation you’re seeking. Please get in touch.

In a world that rewards doing and achieving more just for the sake of it, you’ve chosen a different path: one of presence, depth, and alignment. We invite you to take a moment to hold compassion and gratitude for yourself for showing up this way.

With love,

Yash & Authentic Austin

A Parting Gift

The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.

Don't go back to sleep.

You must ask for what you really want.

Don't go back to sleep.

People are going back and forth across the doorsill

where the two worlds touch.

The door is round and open.

Don't go back to sleep.

-Rumi, Quatrain 91
