On this week's episode of The 1 Girl Revolution Podcast, Kate Milligan, founder of 1 Girl Revolution and host of The 1 Girl Revolution Podcast, closes out the season and 2025 with a special solo episode.

As the final episode of the year, this episode is both reflective and hopeful. In this personal reflection, Kate shares openly about the very real difficulties she faced in 2025, alongside the challenges so many of us experienced this past year. With honesty and heart, she reflects on how seasons of struggle can exist alongside seasons of growth, and why it's essential to look back not only on what we survived, but also on the joys, victories, and moments of grace that carried us through.

Kate also reflects on an incredible year for 1 Girl Revolution. From hosting the first-ever live 1 Girl Revolution event, The Power of Her, a powerful and unforgettable night of storytelling and community, to being featured on The Kelly Clarkson Show, to surpassing 280 episodes of The 1 Girl Revolution Podcast, 2025 was a year of bold steps, meaningful connections, and expanding impact. Throughout the episode, Kate shares her gratitude for the extraordinary people she encountered, the stories that shaped the year, and the growing community that continues to make this work possible.
