In this episode, I take a moment to reflect on my entire year 2025. What worked, what didn’t, and what this year taught me.

This is a calm, reflective episode in intermediate French, designed to help you practice real, natural listening while following a personal and meaningful topic.

You can also use this episode as inspiration to reflect on your own year before planning what’s next, and even do the exercise in French.

Dopamine plays a key role in how we feel, how motivated we are, and how we experience everyday life.

In this episode, I explain how dopamine works, why constant screen time and social media can drain it, and how you can reset your dopamine naturally to feel more focused, calmer, and more fulfilled. I share simple ideas and habits you can start applying in daily life, especially away from screens.

This episode is inspired by the book The Dose Effect by TJ Power, and by the changes these ideas have brought into my own life. The episode is entirely in French and designed for intermediate learners who want to practice listening while reflecting on modern habits and well-being.
