2025: The Most Transformative Year of My Life

About this episode

Kendall Joy reflects on the transformative year of 2025, discussing personal healing, accountability, and growth.

2025 was the most healing and transformative year of my life. I felt like I was thrown lesson, after lesson and oppurtunity after oppurtunity to act differently. In this episode, I reflect on the inner work that changed me. I talk about facing my shadow instead of avoiding it, confronting addictions with honesty, and grieving old versions of myself that no longer fit. I share what it looked like to ask for more, to let go of people-pleasing, and to become more outspoken, clear, and truthful in my relationships and in my life. It's a real conversation about healing, accountability, and choosing growth even when it's uncomfortable. A reminder that transformation doesn't happen when we stay quiet, small, or comfortable, but when we tell the truth and allow ourselves to change. If you're in a season of release, reckoning, or becoming, this episode is for you. I've had years with big external and identity changes, but this one asked the most of me. XOXO Infinity, Kendall Joy
