Hey kitty cats! 🐾 Welcome back to Tails and Tassels! It’s your go-to cat lady, Gemma Smith—burlesque performer and the host of NYC's fav cat-themed variety show, Catbaret!
In this first solo of 2025, I'm looking back at all that 2024 has brought me—and sharing my fresh focus and intentions for the year ahead. I also get real about some of the challenges and setbacks I’ve faced, how they’ve shaped me, and what I’ve learned as I step into 2025 with a renewed mindset.
One of the key things I’m focusing on this year is my word for 2025. Want to know what it is? Tune in to the episode to find out!
Paws and Reflect: Start Your Year with Purpose
1. Reflect on the Past Year 🐾
Take stock of your wins and whisker-worthy moments from the past year.
Celebrate what went well and note where you’d like to grow.
2. Choose a Word of the Year 🐱
Pick a theme that aligns with your goals and dreams (e.g., Stretch for growth, Pounce for bold moves).
Let your word guide your actions, like a cat stalking its next adventure.
3. Create a Vision Board 🖼️
Gather images, quotes, and ideas that represent your aspirations.
Think of it as a cozy cat tree—each level leading you to something new.
Keep it somewhere visible to remind you of your goals every day.
It’s all about setting intentions and taking proactive steps to make this year the best one yet. I’ll also share some fun ways you can get involved in the upcoming episodes of Tails and Tassels—so stay tuned!
