New Year, New (Authentic) You
Yash from Authentic Austin
January 07, 2025
Happy New Year, friends! We’re officially a quarter of a century into the millennium 🤯. This time of year is so often full of reflection and expectation. Every new year, we're bombarded with media telling us to do more, achieve more, and become more. This type of reflection so often stems from a place of lack.
So let’s talk about how to do that from a place of authenticity.
I’m sharing the entire structure of A²'s Annual Reflection in this post and the next. Feel free to use this to guide your own reflection this season. If you do, I’d love to hear what you think!
A²’s Annual Reflection Retreat is almost sold out!
tl;dr: I think we need an Annual Reflection for Actual People. So we’re running one! It’s an invitation to pause, reconnect with your intuition, connect deeply with others, and step forward from a place of inner guidance. Join us to explore what’s possible when you start from “being” rather than “doing”.
❗We have 1 spot left.
If you’re interested, I encourage you to apply soon.

🤔🤓 A² retreat: Annual Reflection for Actual People
Ready to close 2024 with clarity and step boldly into 2025? Join us for a half-day immersive retreat designed to help you reflect on the year past and intentionally shape the year ahead.
This is for: Founders, leaders, and curious people who care about living their life intentionally.
What we’ll do: We’ll be doing an Annual Review/Preview, A² style. This isn’t a set of “New Year’s Resolutions". Our Annual Review is an invitation to come home to yourself. Through a guided journey, you’ll explore where you’ve been, reconnect with what matters most, and uncover what’s possible when you live a life rooted in your essence.
This will be a time to pause, disconnect from technology, listen to what comes up in stillness, and share deeply with others.
What you’ll get: A deep reflection on the year past, a renewed sense of purpose for the year ahead, and kindred souls to support you in the journey.
When: Saturday, January 11 from 10am - 4pm
1 spot left. If you’re interested, apply today!

🅰️² x Gildre: January meetup partnering with Gildre
I am so excited to partner with Gildre for our January meetup.
More about them: Gildre is the premier, invite-only knowledge community for ambitious founders, providing exclusive access to mentors, events, and tools to help you build a successful company.
I'm excited to partner with Gildre because they focus on working with mission-driven entrepreneurs who care about making a conscious impact AND the journey to get there.
We're building Conscious Connection by inviting both the market-focused leader AND the spiritual seeker within you to the table.
Know anyone that’s looking for more of that in their life? I’d appreciate it if you invite them to our next event!

The Authentic Annual Review, Pt. 1
This is an invitation to approach your annual review with intention and ease. Instead of hustling for what’s next, we invite you to shift your focus to aligning with what truly matters in your life. It’s a chance to explore possibilities from a place of “being” rather than “doing”.
The Authentic Annual Review has 6 parts. We'll focus on the first 3 today.
