10 Questions to Close the Year Strong and Step Confidently Into What’s Next

As the year comes to a close, Julie DeLucca-Collins and her husband and business partner Dan share an honest, reflective conversation about wrapping up the year with intention and moving forward with clarity.

In this special end-of-year episode of Casa De Confidence, Julie walks through 10 powerful reflection questions she uses to review the past, learn from the lessons, and intentionally shape what’s next, rooted in self-trust rather than hustle.

Together, they explore life, caregiving, business, health, and resilience, offering a reminder that confidence isn’t an arrival point, it’s a daily practice, especially in the messy middle of real life.

✨ In this episode, you’ll hear about:

• The 10 questions Julie uses to reflect on the year and set intentions for the next
• Why buying the “thing” doesn’t create the identity we want (and what does)
• How small moments matter just as much as big milestones
• Navigating caregiving, health, grief, and growth with compassion
• Letting go of what no longer serves you without burning bridges
• Why waiting for the “right time” keeps us stuck
• Envisioning who you want to become and choosing actions that align with that identity

Julie also shares exciting news about the upcoming release of Confident You: The Raw Conversations, a powerful anthology featuring 23 women sharing real stories of courage, healing, and redefining confidence.

🎧 Whether you’re closing out this year or listening sometime in the future, this episode will meet you exactly where you are and help you move forward with clarity, courage, and confidence.
