25 Things to Do in 2025: A Year of Vulnerability and Growth
As 2025 begins, I’m embracing a theme that feels both powerful and tender: vulnerability. This year is all about leaning into openness, authenticity, and courage—whether it’s in my relationships, personal growth, or creative pursuits. To guide me on this journey, I’ve crafted a list of 25 things to do in 2025 that reflect my commitment to living with intention, embracing challenges, and finding joy in the process.
From decluttering and simplifying my life to folding 1,000 paper cranes, diving into creative projects, and nurturing my health, these goals are an invitation to show up fully and wholeheartedly. Vulnerability means stepping outside of my comfort zone, and I’m ready to take those steps—one at a time.
If you’re looking for inspiration for your own year of growth or simply curious about my plans, this list is a glimpse into what living vulnerably looks like for me. Let’s make 2025 a year of connection, creativity, and meaningful change.
