Choosing to Savor

We’re three-quarters through this year, and this final quarter is sure to bring more exciting opportunities!

As these last three months of 2025 arrive, I’m pressing pause. I’ll be taking Q4 off from Growth By Design to focus, reset, and savor life beyond the blog – stepping into presence, not just productivity. We all know that this last stretch of the year brings more times to gather and connect – and this is the perfect time for me to clear more off of my plate so that I can simply be.

Before I step away, I wanted to share a reflective prompt that helped me get to a place where I am clear on when to lighten my load:

Where in my life could I let go of my need to be productive, create space, and truly be present – not just for what needs doing, but for what feeds my spirit?

Wishing you time for reflection, connection and rest, so we can all enjoy the moments that matter most.

See you in the new year, friends.

Onward and upward!
Katie
