Get ready 2025! TheraSistersStL is coming for ya!

As the year winds down, it’s easy to get caught up in resolutions and goals for the next chapter. But before we dive into the hustle of January, let’s hit pause. Your fave peeps, Amy and Katheryn, the TheraSistersStL, want reflecting on the past year to feel as comforting as a warm cup of cocoa — with a generous dollop of whipped cream and sprinkles of laughter.

We invite you to join us in a lighthearted yet meaningful reflection game to celebrate your giggles, glimmers, and growth. This isn’t your average year-end reflection. Forget the standard "What did I achieve?" Instead, we’re inviting you to explore the giggles that lit up your days and the glimmers that shone through even the toughest times.

A Shimmery and Glimmery new year!

Reflect: But in a fun way!

First up is the Giggle Test: What moment this year gave you the biggest, most unexpected laugh? Next, the Glimmer Gauge: Reflect on a small moment that felt impossibly big and beautiful all at once. Finally, Growth: What’s one way you’ve grown this year that makes you proud? Revisiting these moments will help you close out 2024 with gratitude and step into 2025 with joy and intention. Share your reflections with us by tagging @TheraSistersStL—we’d love to celebrate with you! Ready to play?!

1. The Giggle Test

Think back to the moments that made you laugh until your cheeks hurt. Was it a ridiculous inside joke? A pet’s goofy antics? A moment so silly you couldn’t explain it if you tried? Laughter is medicine, and those giggles are proof you’re doing something right.

Prompt: What moment this year gave you the loudest, most unexpected belly laugh? Write it down in vivid detail and savor it like a favorite dessert.

2. The Glimmer Gauge

Even in challenging years, there are those tiny, shining moments that feel like someone turned on a light in a dark room. Maybe it was a compliment from a stranger, a quiet sunrise, or a hug from someone you love. These are your glimmers — hold onto them.

Prompt: Reflect on a time when a small moment felt impossibly big in its beauty. What made it glimmer?

3. Growth, But Make It Gentle

Personal growth doesn’t always look like climbing mountains or ticking off grand achievements. Sometimes, it’s found in setting boundaries, learning to rest, or even in letting go. Celebrate your growth, no matter its shape or size.

Prompt: What’s one way you’ve grown this year that makes you proud? How can you carry that growth into the new year?

Now that you’ve taken a moment to reflect on your giggles, glimmers, and growth, how did it feel to look back on your year through this lens? What are your biggest takeaways? Did this approach give you a fresh perspective compared to how you’ve reflected in the past? Sometimes, slowing down to savor the laughter, beauty, and progress can reveal just how much we’ve truly experienced. We encourage you to share this exercise with your loved ones—swap stories, celebrate wins, and spread the love. By understanding your own needs and holding space for others, you’re helping build a more supportive and connected world. And, of course, we’d love for you to follow along and become a part of the TheraSistersStL community. Together, let’s continue to grow, reflect, and heal—one giggle and glimmer at a time!

Moments of conversation and connection are what we love!!
