Ep.14 | 2026: Who Are You Becoming Next? (My First Solo Episode)
Saison 1 · Épisode 14
mercredi 31 décembre 2025 • Durée 19:50
Summary
As we stand at the edge of a new year, this episode is an invitation to pause.
In her very first solo episode of Decoding the Flow, Drica Lobo reflects on the closing of 2025 and opens a gentle, honest space for becoming. Rather than focusing on resolutions or external goals, this conversation centers on identity, awareness, and the quiet decisions that shape the life we are creating.
Drica guides listeners through reflective questions and simple practices to help identify what no longer belongs in the next chapter, how self-perception influences reality, and why focusing on how we want to feel is often more powerful than what we want to achieve.
This episode is not about fixing yourself or forcing change. It's about choosing who you are becoming — with clarity, intention, and trust.
A closing ritual for the year. A conscious beginning for what comes next.
