Hey, it's your friend Mel and welcome to the Mel Robbins podcast. It has been one heck of a year, hasn't it? Well, that's exactly why this episode and the conversation you and I are going to have today, it is arriving at the perfect moment. I am so happy you are here because today you and I are going to do something together that means so much to me. I'm going to share a year-end ritual with you.

I'm going to walk you through it. This is something my husband Christopher and I have done every single year, this time of year, for 22 years. There are six questions that I will walk you through that you need to answer right now. if you want to make next year your best year ever. Now these six questions are backed by a ton of research and they guide you in both looking back at the last 12 months of your life and also looking forward.

And these six questions, they just have a funny way of giving you instant clarity about what you want. I mean truly want in the coming year. And every single time I do this exercise, I am shocked by the wisdom that comes out of the experience. And if you've done this exercise with me before, then you know just how powerful and game changing this can be. And you're probably just as excited as I am to do it again together.
