Ep 209 Rebuilding, Resetting, and Setting the Stage for 2026
In this episode of The Stroke It Podcast, host Jenny Townsend closes out 2025 with an honest year-end reflection—equal parts gratitude, behind-the-scenes reality, and a clear reset heading into 2026. Jenny shares what this year really looked like: big goals, unexpected losses, team turnover, hard conversations, and the humbling feeling of being back in “year one” even after years of growth.
She walks listeners through the turning point that changed everything—implementing EOS and Traction, learning to lead with accountability, and realizing that goals don’t hit themselves without a real plan, role clarity, and ownership. Jenny breaks down the company’s critical number, what fell short, what got restructured mid-year, and why the second half of 2025 became a completely different business with a stronger foundation.
On the personal side, Jenny shares the routines and mindset shifts that supported her through the grind—morning walks, rest, health changes, travel, coaches, and the books that helped her think differently. She also previews what’s ahead: celebrating 10 years in business, a 2026 theme word (“Resonate”), bigger targets, and a renewed commitment to build momentum with intention.
