1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: Success isn't just about what we achieve. It's about the

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: lessons we learn and the lives that we touch along

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: the way. Hello and welcome to this very special Christmas

4
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: episode of Sugar Mamma's Fireplay. As we enter the beautiful

5
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: and yes, somewhat chaotic festive season where we're frantically running

6
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: around trying to catch up with everyone before Christmas, I

7
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 1: want to take a moment to connect with you on

8
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: a deeper, more personal level. Christmas is not about how

9
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: much money we spend or the gifts we exchange. It's

10
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 1: about the time that we spend with loved ones, those

11
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: special people that we have in our lives that we're

12
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,599
Speaker 1: so grateful for. It's about the memories we create and

13
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: the joy of simply being present, present with ourselves and

14
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: of course present with each other. Twenty twenty four has

15
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: been a challenging year for so many of us, and

16
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: whether you financial, emotional, or personal hurdles, I want you

17
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 1: to know I see you, I hear you, and I

18
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: feel you. But even in these struggles, there is often

19
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: a silver lining, a blessing in disguise, even a beacon

20
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: of hope for you. The challenges of this year have

21
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: built us with a remarkable resilience, a strength will service

22
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 1: not just now, but for many years to come, and

23
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: quite possibly even inspire others when they see that resilience

24
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: that we have built ourselves from those tough times. And

25
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: I believe that resilience is now clearing the way for

26
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: a new chapter twenty twenty five, a chapter the promises opportunity,

27
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: growth and of course financial success for all of us.

28
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: When we look back on twenty twenty four, I hope

29
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: we'll see how those setbacks, those challenges, those frustrations, and

30
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: even the failures where we literally fell flat on our

31
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: face have actually helped us shape us into stronger, wiser

32
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 1: versions of ourselves. So as we approach the end of

33
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 1: the year, I encourage you all to please press pause

34
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: for yourselves. Take a moment, at the very least, to

35
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: just slow down, breathe, catch your breath, and reflect and

36
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: reflect not just on what you've achieved, but on the

37
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,399
Speaker 1: things that actually really brought you joy, even the simplest

38
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: things that brought you joy, what really felt right deep

39
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: within you, and of course what lits you up like electricity,

40
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: like an ignition of fire within you. Because these moments

41
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: are actually your guideposts, pointing you towards what truly matters

42
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,679
Speaker 1: in your life and what makes you feel fulfilled. And

43
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: this pause that we can take for ourselves is truly

44
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: a gift to ourselves. It allows us to recalibrate, to reset,

45
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: and to prepare to realize launch whenever we feel ready.

46
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: And of course, this period of reflection uncovers a new

47
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:11,399
Speaker 1: sense of focus, energy and determination, fueling for the exciting

48
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: chapters yet to come. Now, talking of the gift, the

49
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: gift to ourselves, I want to remind you of the

50
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 1: profound power of giving. This season, Christmas is a time

51
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: for charity and for connection. A small donation to a

52
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: cause that you care about, volunteering your time or your skills,

53
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: or even simply being present for someone who might feel

54
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: alone right now can create a ripple effect of love, hope,

55
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: and community. Remember, your time and your attention are often

56
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: the most meaningful gifts of all. Can help people fill

57
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: their cup again and get back on their feet. Take

58
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: a moment to revisit those goals that you had for

59
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. Reflect on what worked for you this year,

60
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: what was easy, what was joyful, what was pleasurable, what

61
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: felt uncomfortable but was actually amazing. What felt meaningful to

62
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: you and what brought you the most amount of fulfillment

63
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty four. Then start thinking about the dreams.

64
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: What dreams ignite excitement within you when you think about

65
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: the year ahead and what you want to achieve and

66
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 1: what you want to build, and what do you want

67
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: to have and attract in your life. Use this reflection

68
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: to shape your goals for twenty twenty five. Promise me

69
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: you will write these down these answers, add details, the

70
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: more detail the better, and try and make them as

71
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: personal as possible so that you can really connect and

72
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: build that determination, commitment, and nonstoppable force within you as

73
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: you launch into twenty twenty five. And it goes without saying,

74
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: don't just focus on those financial goals. Align your attentions

75
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: with your values, your happiness, and of course the vision

76
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: for your future self. I know for myself personally, when

77
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: I do my financial goals, I actually cover a wide

78
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: range of other areas. So I'll focus on my health

79
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: and fitness, my spiritual goals, my relationship goals, my intellectual goals,

80
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: and of course those financial goals so that I'm always

81
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: growing in all sorts of different wonderful directions. So for you,

82
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: whether it's starting an investment plan, buying or paying off

83
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: a home, preparing for retirement, or spending more quality time

84
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: with your loved ones, please know that every small step

85
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: forward is a meaningful progress and one that you should

86
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: feel proud of and grateful for. So on that note

87
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,599

Speaker 1: do and why allows me to keep going. It's my fuel,

Speaker 1: launch into twenty twenty five, but not before pressing pause,

103
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 1: of course. So as I wrap up today's episode, this Christmas,

108
