#388 - HOW TO PLAN YOUR FINAL QUARTER OF 2025

Hi There! 

As I recorded this episode, coffee in hand and a candle flickering beside me, I reflected on something exciting: we have just one quarter left in 2025. 

That means there’s still time - time to reset, refocus and reimagine what’s possible so you can finish the year feeling proud and energised.

In this episode I guide you through the exact process we use inside DL Coaching to plan a powerful final quarter.

We start by moving from overwhelm to clarity with a big, beautiful brain dump - getting everything out of your head and onto paper.

Then we use my favourite reflection tool - Stop, Start, Continue—to decide what really matters.

From there, we choose your Top 3 priorities for Q4 and map them into monthly goals, weekly steps and simple daily actions - and we help you craft a supportive morning ritual and dial in the habits that underpin it all.

It really is transformative.

So if you’d love to do this with me live in September - step by step with worksheets and support - join DL Coaching here: https://www.yourdreamlifestartshere.com/course.

Listen in, take notes, and give yourself this gift of clarity.

Your dream life is built one quarter at a time - make Q4 your strongest yet.

Have a wonderful weekend …and remember, it all starts with a dream 💛

TRANSCRIPT:

Kristina: [00:00:00] [00:01:00] Hi there, and welcome back to another episode of Your Dream Live podcast. I'm Kristina Karlsson and I'm really excited to share today's podcast as I sit here today with a coffee in my hand and a candle burning next to me, I'm reflecting on a powerful truth.

We have just one quarter left in 2025. once we finished a quarter, we're in. And that is so exciting because if you're listening to this, you still have time. Time to reset, time to refocus, [00:02:00] and time to reimagine what's possible and to finish this year really, really strong.

So today I wanna walk you through how to plan your final quarter in a way that feels aligned, energizing, and empowering. this is the way we do it inside the Dream Life Coaching program.

And it's all around planning the quarter, which is happening again in September. and I would love for you to join me if you do, just go to your dream. Love starts here.com I will link to it in the show notes as well.

 So if you are feeling a little overwhelmed or behind or even a bit lost, this episode is for you. So let's take a deep breath and then let's find some clarity together. so the first step is always starting with a workshop that is all around going from overwhelm to clarity.

And this is all [00:03:00] about starting right where you are. And if you are feeling behind that is okay, life happens, But what matters now is how do you wanna feel? By end of this year in our upcoming September workshop, we begin. With this exact process, moving from overwhelm to clarity, we do a big, beautiful brain dump of everything swirling in your mind, and then we gently shift through it all to find what really matters most.

 So here's the first exercise that you can do. Brain dump everything you got in your head, things you have to do, things you want to do, things that overwhelms you. All of it, get it on paper. I like to use life categories to brain dumping, so lots of different categories for my business. If you're working for someone else, there might some different projects, et cetera.

I have a few [00:04:00] categories around family, health, wellbeing, self-care, and I brain dump all around those kind of key areas in my life. It's amazing to see it all out on paper. It definitely feels less overwhelming when you get it out of your head.

once we've done that, we move into one of my other favorite reflection tools, which is stop, start, continue. It's so simple, and it's so powerful. So ask yourself, what do I need to stop doing this quarter that's training me or distracting me? From what matters? What do I want to start doing that excites me or aligns with my dream life and what's already working that I want to continue and celebrate? You will be amazed how much clarity this brings, and when you join me in September, we'll do this together.

Live on Zoom. We'd support community [00:05:00] and energy. You'll walk away with a clear list. On what you want to start, stop, and continue, and you also walk away with a calm mind and a fresh new focus. Once that noise has settled, it's time to decide. What are your top three priorities for the final quarter of 2025?

Just three because clarity loves simplicity. Whether it's launching a project, starting a business, decluttering your space, or simply taking some time off, choose what matters most to you and then map it out inside the planning quarter workshop. I will guide you to break your priorities into monthly goals, weekly steps, and daily actions.

You will feel in control again and you'll feel empowered. And and another thing that we do is to create a morning ritual that supports you. One of the most [00:06:00] underestimated tools we teach is designing a morning ritual because how you start your day shapes how you live your life. Ask yourself, what would my dream morning look like and what could I do in the first 10, 20, 30 minutes?

Whatever you have to support the version of me I want to become. Whether that is journaling, meditating, walking, or simply breathing before checking your phone we'll help you craft every tool that works for you. And once you have it, it becomes your anchor, your reset, and your source of calm power in the morning. And the next step is to talk about habits that will help you. Make your dreams and goals happen in a final quarter. I often see amazing dreams, goals, and priorities, but with habits that do not support them.

So in the final quarter [00:07:00] of 2025,

I want you to choose habits that supports the person you wanna become and the top three priorities that will be different for all of us. So really think about what that would be for you. And I wanna remind you that you don't need to change everything. You just need to start one step at a time. and I will help you with that every step of the way.

So here's my invitation to you. Join me this September to plan your quarter. We've got the five amazing. Sessions together, we'll go deep into moving from overwhelm to clarity, doing the stop start, continue your top three priorities, morning rituals, powerful habit setting, and even a decluttering workshop because that is something that will give you so much energy and there's so much more And you will walk away with a clear plan for the final quarter. Tools to support your wellbeing and a community of [00:08:00] inspiring, supportive women, and also a sense of calm, courage and momentum, which I think we which all want and need to finish this year strong. This is your time to finish 2025 Strong.

And I would love to support you if you feel it's right for you. If it does, just head over to your dream life dots here.com to sign up. I'll link to it in In the show notes as well. Let's make the last three months of this year the most powerful yet, because when we do imagine. Energy and the excitement for a new fresh year, 2026.

I can't believe it. Thank you so much for tuning in. I hope this episode gave you spark of clarity and inspiration. Remember, your dream life is built one quarter at a time, and let's make this final quarter of 2025. The strongest and the best [00:09:00] yet one tiny step, one powerful decision.
