Just a Taste - Gettin Grown Live Philly (Episode Reprise)

Jade and Keia hit the kitchen table for a Quarter 4 Check-In on their 2025 Annual Goals. SIt with us

---

Reflection Prompts

1. What’s one thing you can celebrate crossing off or accomplishing this year, even if it looks different than you originally planned?

(This lets people honor their wins while acknowledging the reality of adaptation)

2. Share about a goal that had to shift or change this year. What happened, and what did that pivot teach you about yourself or your priorities?

(This normalizes the need to adjust and frames it as growth rather than failure)

3. Looking at what’s left of 2025, what’s one thing you’re still working toward or want to focus your energy on before the year ends?

(This keeps people forward-looking and empowered rather than just retrospective)
