Welcome to the Abundant and Aligned podcast , where we welcome women who are ready to live the life of their dreams . So if that's you , I'm so glad you're here . I'm Jess , your host and your new bestie , here to remind you to dream big , live with intention and believe that actually , yes , you can . Here we talk all things mindset and personal development .
We are on a mission to create abundance in all areas of our life , and playing small just isn't our jam . So if you're ready to expand your mind to the possibilities , turn off autopilot and start showing up with intention . Buckle up for the ride . We are Abundant and Aligned .
Hello everyone and welcome to the final episode on the Abundant and Aligned podcast for 2024 . Literally , just as I hit play to record this episode , the microphone snapped off . The stand Like seriously , this is not how we want to be ending our year .
But hello and welcome to our season finale , the fourth season of the Abundant and Aligned podcast , but the third full year . So we have had four seasons , but the first year was a quick one , only a couple of months . So three full years of showing up on the Abundant and Aligned podcast .
Weekly episodes I've hardly missed , except for when I go away for Christmas . I'm here Otherwise , every single week . We've had the most incredible guest speakers , we've had so many cool series and , yeah , I'm feeling really , really proud in terms of where we are leaving things for another year on the podcast .
Um , I did want to share some stats with you all today and then essentially just tie a bow on our year together and wrap up the podcast before I go away for a two or three week break . I'm not 100% sure when the podcast will be back .
I'm thinking maybe week of 13 January , but just keep an eye on Instagram and I will update you when we are back in action . But I hope you guys are wrapping up your year as well . I hope you guys have been enjoying the reflection episodes that we've been doing together .
I hope you've taken the time to actually do your reflection and , most importantly , I hope you're taking a bit of a break before we go again in the new year . Whatever that break looks like for you , I hope you enjoy it and , like I said , this is our last episode for the year .
So , before we officially wrap things up , I wanted to actually share some stats with you guys from our year . We have had another insane year over on the podcast and I only have you guys to thank . While I do show up every single week and I pour into you all , I obviously need listeners , and that's you guys .
And this year our listeners have increased by 138% since last year , streams have increased by 98% and we were listened to in 92 countries . Oh , and also we're the top 25% podcast on Buzzsprout . So a round of applause to you guys , to us , to the show , to everything that the Abundant and Aligned podcast has been .
And , yeah , I'm just so grateful to have spent another year with you all and when I look at these numbers , it makes me so , so grateful , obviously , for the continued growth on the show . This is my baby . I love my podcast . It's one of my favorite ways to pour into you guys and create content .
So naturally , it's really nice to see the increase year after year . So thank you for being a part of that . I thought I would also share the most downloaded episode which , to be honest , I think this has actually got number one since it's released , which would have been two years ago is the walking meditation .
So I've actually linked that in the show notes below for you guys . If you don't listen to the walking meditation . You're clearly missing out on something because , yeah , like I said , I'm pretty sure since its launch , it has been the most downloaded episode on the show , so go and make that a part of your morning routine or your day in one way or another .
Obviously , this year we have had some incredible guest speakers on the show . If you have not gone and listened to all of them , please make some time to do that , because the value in those episodes is , oh my God , insane .
And what I love is the guest speakers spoke on so many different topics , but they all come from so many different walks of life , so to hear their experience and then have them share the knowledge that they did , it's a no brainer to go and listen to those episodes . We have also had a couple of series on the podcast this year , so we had the 100K series .
So if you are in business and you want to grow to 100K and you haven't listened to that series , go and listen to that . We've also had the money series , which was part two of one that we did last year . That was prior to the launch of the Wealthy Woman .
Again , if you haven't listened to that or if you need to refresh incredible episodes to listen to and , like I said , an increase of 138% in listeners , an increase of 98% in streams , says that we're doing something right .
So if you do need to go back and binge any of the podcasts , then maybe use your Christmas break to do that , or at least tune in when you are ready to go again in the new year . Speaking of the new year , I thought I would run you guys through what you can expect as a bit of a teaser in 2025 .
First and foremost , I have the intention to blow the podcast up . So I have enrolled in a mastermind and the coach has an incredible podcast and I'm really excited to learn everything she has to say when it comes to building a podcast of that size .
So watch this space for the abundant and aligned the abundant and aligned podcast to get even bigger than what it already has . Um , and just continue to impact women's lives through this show . We have got a bit of a rebrand coming , so a new cover photo , new intro , which is exciting the intro we've actually had since day one of the podcast .
So in 2021 , I recorded that intro and , if you can tell like my voice even sounds younger maybe only I can notice that . So I've got a new intro coming , which will be a nice little refresh for the new year , and , as I said , a new cover photo , just to be more on brand with our color palette .
And then , as for episodes , I have a full lineup ready to go for you guys for like a new year series . So , goal setting , really setting your year up to be the most successful year and ensure that you do tick off those goals that you set or have set , and really just have a quantum leap year .
Whether you are getting to the end of your 2024 , feeling accomplished or not , rest assured , 2025 is your year and I'm here to help you make it so , so successful . So , like I said , we will be kicking off with a bunch of new year episodes .
So be sure to be back here in January , tuning in every single week to get access to the juice and everything that I have to share which has helped me have well , if you haven't seen my Instagram post an average revenue growth of over 200% and , honestly , it's the practices that I have at the end of the year and then at the start of the year that have
created results like that . So , again , I do not want to hold back . I want to share everything that I do heading into a new year , planning days , setting goals , doing it in a way that you can actually achieve . Yeah , like I said over , deliver as always . So be here or be square . What else do we have ? Like I mentioned , we're going big in the new year .
2025 is a year of big , big growth . I was reflecting before , 2024 has kind of been a year of like rinse and repeat , so I did a lot of creating in 2023 .
And then 2024 , we kind of just rolled it through again , other than her empire , which is brand new at the start of the year , which does not feel like it was at the start of the year , but other than that , we haven't had , like , new content , new program , actually , no , yes , we have . See , this is what I do .
I underestimate how much I get done in a year . I'm like no , we do have a new mastermind this year and we do have a new program this year , becoming the online CEO , anyways , maybe I'm talking more about the free resources . So a new sleep meditation , new guided meditations , new walking meditations .
I want to update all of that because it has been a few years since I have done that . So , as always , this is the place to be if you want to live your dream life , not create . If you saw my post the other day , you've already created your dream life . You did that the moment you thought of the possibility .
Now you have to allow it , and that's what my brand and my show is all about Allowing you to live the life of your dreams so far from average , and I have no doubt that 2025 is the year that you're going to make yourself so , so proud , and I'm so excited to be on that journey with you .
But for now , let's just go away and celebrate the year that we have just had , take some time to reset and recharge and get our spark back . I am heading away on Sunday . We have Christmas down in Tasmania this year , so we are away for the week . I'm going to be off social media .
I'm going to be reading fiction books and laying at the beach and drinking lots of wine and just taking a moment to really reset and create space for new ideas to come through . When we go , go , go , go , go , we do block off that creative spark and it's really important that we take the time to get more in our flow .
Go , we do block off that creative spark and it's really important that we take the time to get more in our flow , relax , like I said , get off social media , get away from that masculine structure and just welcome that feminine flow in , and when you do that , the ideas will fly through .
So that's what I'm creating over this Christmas break is the space for new ideas , that creativity to drop in , and , yeah , I plan to do that by slowing down as much as possible and being creative . I keep actually seeing on Instagram this painting . I probably left it too late , actually , because you have to order it , but maybe I'll do this in the new year .
You guys might've seen it , but it's like a paint . You paint it , but it has numbers everywhere . So it'll say like paint three in pink and paint four in blue and ultimately you paint this beautiful picture , but you essentially just color in numbers .
That's right up my alley because I'm not an artist , but I want to be doing more stuff like that because , again , that gets you in your creative flow and as the feminine , as women , we are naturally really creative people and I often get in conversations with clients who say , like I'm not a creative person , but I'm like you are .
You're just not allowing yourself to be creative enough .
¶ Holiday Well Wishes
So I'm turning the dial up on that kind of stuff over the break and I'm just really , really looking forward to slowing down and just switching off and doing nothing other than things that make me feel good , so I hope you guys can do the same . Essentially , thank you so much again for being a part of my year .
You guys know how much I love you and appreciate you , and I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year . I hope whatever it is that you're doing brings you a lot of happiness and joy , because , honestly , you really do deserve it . Just know that . So that's where we'll leave it , guys . 2024 grand finale . We've tied a bow on it .
Thank you again for being here and I will talk to you in the new year .
