What I’ve Learned So Far About My 2025 Evolution

It's an experiment in trust. A masterclass in being open. And, let’s be honest, a personal challenge in not trying to micromanage the universe ... for once.

So here we are. Half way through March 2025. Almost the first quarter of the year done and dusted.

I’ve felt something in my bones for the past year. It’s been almost this slow but steady drumbeat of change, a deep knowing that something is shifting.

What’s unusual for me is that I have absolutely no idea what I’m evolving into.

Well I do and I don’t.

And do you know what I’m (mostly) cool with that.

For someone who swings between bursts of planning and bouts of procrastination, often caught between big ideas and the challenge of getting started, this is new terrain. Historically, reinvention/pivoting/evolving for me has been more of a mix—big visions and grand plans that sometimes turn into action, sometimes into beautifully abandoned notebooks. Actually, ALWAYS beautifully abandoned notebooks. That’s my ADHD kicking in big style, right there.

But this time? This time, it feels different.

It’s not about chasing. It’s about allowing.

I don’t need to force it or define it too soon. Normally that’s so me. If it’s not perfect it doesn’t pass go.

I’ve decided that I don’t need to tick boxes or prove anything to anyone. What I need is to trust that whatever is emerging is exactly what’s meant to be. And, trust me, that is a very different way of operating for me.

Maybe my evolution will be in my work. Maybe it will be in my mindset. Maybe it will be in the way I show up for myself and others. Or all of that. Maybe it will be something I haven’t even imagined yet.

And maybe—just maybe—that’s the point.

This evolution isn’t about a title, a role, or a clearly defined path. It’s about stepping into the unknown with curiosity rather than control. It’s about loosening my grip and seeing what unfolds when I stop pushing and start allowing.

I’m calling it an experiment in trust. A masterclass in being open. And, let’s be honest, a personal challenge in not micromanaging the universe. For once.

So, 2025, continue to bring it on.

I have some semi ideas of where I’m going, and for once, I’m totally fine that I haven’t got it all planned out to the last dot.

And something else I’d love you to know in case you are going through similar or wanting to … I NEVER think of my age when I’m going through this process. I never feel the need to factor age into anything to be honest.

You now. What about you?

Have you ever felt a reinvention/pivot/evolution - call it what you will - coming on without knowing exactly what it would look like? Feeling like there is something brewing and you’re just going to go with the flow?

How do you navigate those in-between spaces where clarity hasn’t quite arrived?

I’d love to hear—what’s shifting in your world right now?
