What is your process for reflection and how often do you use it?

Today we’re taking a different approach to year-end reflection.

Join us as we dive into The Proust Questionnaire. This set of revealing and thought-provoking questions, which Vanity Fair readers will recognize from the final page of the famed magazine, is actually derived from a parlor game that Marcel Proust would play to generate engaging conversations.

From our greatest extravagances to the things we most want to shift about ourselves to what we value in our friends, we’re playing “hot burrito” with some profound questions.

And, today we invite you to play along as we reflect on our personal and professional growth this year.

Plus: We have some fun as we learn why Nayla feels indulgent about books and kitchen tools, how Eric deplores his devastatingly good looks, and how both of our hosts are committed to growing their musical abilities in the new year.

This inside work of stopping to pay attention to yourself allows you to see yourself with more clarity and make more purposeful decisions in the process.

And we hope this episode gives you some ideas for a bit of fun and self-reflection as you end the year.

See you in 2023!
