My review of the year – what 2025 did to me
When I think back to the beginning of 2025, I can almost physically feel how different everything felt back then.
I was motivated, yes. But also overwhelmed. I had big plans, a to-do list full of ideas, and this feeling: "This year, it has to work."
And then? Life happened. The music business happened. I happened, with all my doubts, successes, detours, and real transformations.
Today, I don't want to just write a review to tick something off my list. I want to share what 2025 has done to me, inside.
1. I have learned that consistency often counts for more than genius.
It wasn't that one viral moment, that perfect reel, or the most brilliant idea that changed my year.
It was the small, regular steps. The calls I made even though I was tired. The coaching sessions I held even though I had doubts about myself beforehand.
And yes, the many times I posted even though I thought, "Who cares?"
Today I know that it is precisely this authenticity that connects people.
2. I have reorganized myself. And let go of a lot.
Old projects, old contacts, old ideas of how things "should be."
I have stopped comparing myself to musicians who are taking completely different paths.
And I have realized that when I work with my story, rather than against it, space suddenly opens up. For new ideas. For new people. For growth.
3. I got to know myself better.
Not just as a coach or manager. But as a woman, as a creative person, as someone who sometimes doesn't know what to do next. And it was precisely in this uncertainty that I found so much strength.
If you're a musician, you probably know what I mean: sometimes you ask yourself why you're doing all this.
And then you're standing on stage. Or you get a message from someone who needed your music.
And suddenly it all comes back. 2025 has shown me that this is not a weakness. It's the rhythm.
Maybe you'd like to take a few minutes today as well.
Write down:
What have I let go of?
What has changed, within me, not just externally?
What am I grateful for, even though it hurt?
Because this reflection is not just a ritual. It is a real compass.
Thank you for accompanying me in 2025. And I promise you: 2026 won't be "perfect." But it will be real. And courageous. And really strong.
Kind regards
